Disable Auto Restart on System Failure

Sometimes during a serious system failure, the computer will automatically reboot itself. When it does this, it does not give any opportunity to read the error message for trouble shooting purposes. This is how to disable auto restart step-by-step:

1. Click 'Start'
2. Click 'View System Information' under 'System Tasks' (If you can not see this option then click 'System Tasks' to collapse the menu). This will open the System Properies window.
3. Click the 'Advanced' tab
4. Under 'Startup and Recovery' click the 'Settings' button.
5. Under 'System Failure' uncheck the box next to 'Automatically Restart'
6. Click 'OK'
7. Click 'OK' on the previous window.
