BSOD Question

[ManBearPig]

There is this bsod im getting on certain games, where it comes up w/ a bunch of text and shuts the system down and restarts. Well, my problem is i cant read what it says.

I remember somone speaking of a way you could input a 'run' command or go into some folder and check what your last error was, anyone remember how? Thanks alot guys!

the event viewer (control panel -> administrative tools -> event viewer) will sometimes tell you

if auto restart is disabled then you *should* see the error just fine
