Since the release of Windows XP, Microsoft designed Windows to automatically reboot each time an error occurs, such as a BSoD. Although this may be nice for errors that do not occur often, users who have a re-occurring error may want to identify the error to troubleshoot it. Below are the steps on how this feature can be disabled and enabled in Windows XP, Vista, 7, and 8. 1.From the Desktop,right-click on My Computer. 2.Click thePropertiesoption. 3.In the System Properties window, click theAdvanced tabor theAdvanced system settingslink. 4.In Advanced, click theSettings buttonunderStartup and Recovery. 5.In the Startup and Recovery window,uncheck the Automatically restartcheck box. 6.Click OK. Now if the computer generates an error, it should not automatically restart and should display an error message, most likely a BSoD.
Hardware issue or error Caution:Some of the steps below require you to open your computer. While working inside the computer, be cautious of ESD. Any failing hardware component in your computer could cause your computer to unexpectedly generate an error or reboot without warning. If you have recently attempted to add a new hardware device, remove that device to make sure it is not causing your issues. Make sure you are not encountering any hardware conflicts by viewing Device Manager for errors. Hardware drivers can also cause this issue. If you have recently installed new hardware drivers, you may want to try an earlier version of those drivers. Additional information and help with computer drivers can be found on
