System Logs
Where can I view my system logs?
The reason I ask is, I got to work today, powered up my laptop and upon boot it gave me a BSOD and restarted but the BSOD wasnt up long enough for me to see what it said.
I had my laptop running all night and saw no errors, powered it off, drove to work, booted it and got the BSOD.
As I said before it wasnt up long enough for me to tell what it said.

Under System Failure, select check boxes corresponding to what you want Windows to do if a Stop error occurs:
-Write an event to the system log specifies that event information will be recorded in the system log.
-Send an administrative alert specifies that your system administrator will be notified.
-Automatically reboot specifies that Windows will automatically restart your computer.
Select the appropriate settings. If you uncheck "Automatically reboot", the system stops on BSOD so you can read it but you'll have to manually reboot when you're done trying to decipher "Microsoftese"
