I'm having the same problem. I have turned off the auto restart but I can't seem to find the stop error codes when I get a bluescreen. Is there something I'm doing wrong?
The Stop Error codes are right there. First the stop error code is in this format:
STOP 0X000000ZZ where the ZZ is a alpha numeric combination. Then there is a line about a quater of the way down the page in all CAPS that gives you a more definative look at the STOP error code.
That's provided the information remains displayed long enough. Take notes on everything you can anyways. Sometimes another item like a driver or system file will accompany the error information shown as well.
Almost every morning I check my computer and it has restarted due to a problem. When I turned off automatic restart it has a blue screen but that's it, nothing, just a blue screen.
That could be something else like a hardware fault being realized. In particular the video card seeing a fault or somehow now raised up in the slot. Sometimes you will have a bad card without hearing the usual one long two short beep code alert.

Will you please re-read his post. He had already stated that he had turned off Auto Restart. So it will be displayed long enough for any and all information to be taken.
