Guest Daniel Posted August 6, 2007 Posted August 6, 2007 I I have XP pro, how do I get it to stop on a BOD during posty so I can see what the problem is, at the moment it is just going round and round with a quick flash of the BOD then tries to start up again thanks Daniel
Guest Gerry Posted August 6, 2007 Posted August 6, 2007 Re: Stop on BOD when booting up Daniel Disable automatic restart on system failure. This should help by allowing time to write down the STOP code properly. Right click on the My Computer icon on the Desktop and select Properties, Advanced, Start-Up and Recovery, System Failure and uncheck box before Automatically Restart. Do not re-enable automatic restart on system failure even after you have solved the problem as it's better disabled. Check for variants of the Stop Error message. An alternative is to keep pressing the F8 key during Start-Up and select option - Disable automatic restart on system failure. If you are using a wireless keyboard and the F8 key does not work substitute a wired keyboard and mouse for this exercise only. -- Hope this helps.

I didn't see it. Rereading his message, I see the word "posty." I didn't know what he meant by that, so I ignored it originally. But perhaps he meant something like "posting," in which case you're right, and my suggestion can't help. If that's the case, sorry Daniel. > > Ken Blake, MVP wrote: > > > On Mon, 6 Aug 2007 18:30:11 +1000, "Daniel" <noone@nowhere.com> wrote: > > > > > >> I have XP pro, how do I get it to stop on a BOD during posty so I > > >> can see what the problem is, at the moment it > > >> is just going round and round with a quick flash of the BOD then > > >> tries to start up again > > > > > > > > > The default of restarting on a blue screen is a terrible one, in my > > > view.

Guest Daniel Posted August 7, 2007 Posted August 7, 2007 Re: Stop on BOD when booting up Hi thanks for the rplies and follow ups, my PC does boot when it is cold so I can change the settings. Sorry about the posty, that started as POST then was supposed to be boot, and I got caught somewhere in the middle.
