    ive found and lost the hot key that would stop the blue screen loop.

    ex.
    when ever i start my computer it will start up and load windows, when it is done loading windows and is about to display the desktop it will display a blue screen and restarts in like 2ms time. i found the key to hold/press to stop the computer from restarting and will stop on the blue screen so you can read it but i cant rember it so im desperate so im posting. b/c you can not read the error on a blue screen that comes up and goes away so fast. :cool:

    Try this method instead:

    Right click My Computer > select properties > in the "Start up and Recovery area" click "Settings" > untag the box labeled "Automatic Restart. "

    OK out of there. That will keep the blue screen around until you choose to dismiss it.

    Don't know about that hot key but pressing the pause/break key seems to stop most things. Might be worth a try.
