To prevent your computer automatically rebooting so you can view the error message, follow these instructions (assuming you're using either Windows 2000 or XP):
1. Right-click My Computer.
2. Click Properties.
3. Click the Advanced tab, and then click "Settings" or "Startup and Recovery..." button under the Startup and Recovery frame.
4. Under the System failure frame, clear the Automatically Restart check box.
5. Click OK twice.
6. Try to reproduce the error message and tell us what it says.
