    Using WinXP Pro.

    Just installed a new mobo yesterday, and everything is going fine til this...

    About 2 hours ago I heard a whirling down sound coming from my case, and I didnt think nothing of it.. I thought maybe the second HDD wasnt being used at all so it decided to rest :p .

    Then about 10 minutes ago the computer screen goes black for a second then a blue screen pops up... the PC then reboots back into windows normally.

    Is there a way to look at a log or something to see what the error really was? It went so fast that I didnt even get a chance to see what errored.

    btw.. I already looked through the Event events in the Admin Control Panel folder... and nothing is logged in as being disrupted.

    Thanks,
    Pent.

    Right click My Computer/Properties/Advanced/ Startup & Recovery/System Failure.

    Turn off Auto restart. You should now get a BSOD with an error you can post here.
