There are several reasons why this behavior can occur. It's possible that
your machine is actually bluescreening really quickly if your computer is
set to Automatically Restart (see).
1. Right-click My Computer, and then click Properties.
2. On the Advanced tab, click Settings under "Startup and Recovery".
3. Click to clear the "Automatically restart" check box under "System
failure", and then click OK. The error message on a blue screen should
remain on the screen so you can record the error information.
