How to see the Blue Screen of Death

I just built a new HTPC build. I didn't put a DVD drive in it. So I installed windows XP SP2 on HD on my regular computer and tried to put that HD in my new built. Its pretty much raw install before I installed any drivers.

The problem is that when I run it in the new computer...it gives me a the blue screen of death at the at the windows logo and restarts. The screen only pops up for a brief second and I can't read the error. Any way I can freeze that screen to see what the problem is? I can log into safe mode so if there are any changes I can make there so I will be able to the screen that'll be good to know. Thanks.

Also any idea why my fresh install which boots fine on my first PC (Intel build) doesn't boot with my new computer (AMD build). I have gone into safe mode and tried to delete all the important drivers installed under device manage in case it was a driver issue. Still no go.

I guess my next option is going to be to install windows off an USB stick if I can't get
 
Right Click my computer> Properties> Advanced Tab> Click settings under start up and recovery > Uncheck the box labeled "Automatic Restart"

Oh it does it at windows logo. Have you tried safe mode?


Also my XP installation did this when I set my Hard Drive settings to SATA mode in the bios, I had to switch it to compatibility mode. I could never get the drivers installed, so I just left it on compatibility
