#3591506 - 06/14/12 01:01 AM Anyway to get error log from BSOD?
peppergomez Veteran Registered: 05/21/02 Posts: 14242	For the 2nd time in as many sessiions, computer has BSOD. It hangs for a,min, the picture on each monitor disappears sequentially, then,BSOD appears, but doesn't stay onscreen long enough for me to read and retain the info. Is there a way to freeze that screen, retain the info upon reboot, or take a screen shot? I am primarily interested in determining if it's GPU related, whichmwouldmpretty much make me decide to RMA the cards. The commuter hadn't been on for very long, it was during the evening when temps we cooler, GPU temps were in the 50s, and I was only wokring in MS Word. Tonight it BSOD immediately after I pressed the Show Desktop button in the lower right taskbar, as if my comp freaked at processing such a task.

From there look for a Red Icon/Save Dump/Critical Error, and it should say "xxxxxxxx xxxx x x x caused a critical error" _________________________ Skate Zilla William B.

Speedo Hotshot Registered: 02/15/01 Posts: 5390 Loc: NC USA	Interestingly my system has started doing the exact same thing in about the last 6 weeks. It's 100% stable under every load and stress test I've tried but randomly has a BSOD in the graphics driver when sitting idle. Waiting for a reply now from XFX re: exchanging the card. Before you RMA I would recommend getting Memtest86 and letting it run at least 6-12 hours. You could have a stick of RAM dying, which can cause all kinds of random problems. _________________________ Core i5-750 @ 3.2 Ghz [Hyper-212+ Cooling] Gigabyte P55A-UD3 Mobo 8GB G.Skill DDR3-1600 @ 9-9-9-24 XFX Radeon HD6950 Creative X-Fi Intel X25-M 80GB SSD 2x Hitachi 2TB HDD Corsair 650W PSU Dell 24" [1920x1200] LCD Viewsonic 20" [1680x1050] LCD

For each crash, BlueScreenView displays the minidump filename, the date/time of the crash, the basic crash information displayed in the blue screen (Bug Check Code and 4 parameters), and the details of the driver or module that possibly caused the crash (filename, product name, file description, and file version). For each crash displayed in the upper pane, you can view the details of the device drivers loaded during the crash in the lower pane. BlueScreenView also mark the drivers that their addresses found in the crash stack, so you can easily locate the suspected drivers that possibly caused the crash." _________________________ "To fight and conquer in all your battles is not supreme excellence; supreme excellence consists in breaking the enemy's resistance without fighting." - Sun-Tzu
