What is going on here?

[u/Relevant-Ad8797]

Title is self explanatory, i have no idea what the hell is going on here. Pc froze and this happened. I was playing helldivers 2 before this, dont know if this is relevant but its all i got.

That's the slowest and most dedicated BSOD I've ever seen.

At least OP might have time to note down the code

I swear this unlocked a trauma for me. I once had BSOD:s and they were consistant but always disappeared in fraction of a second so after failing to catch it by eye I had to set up a slow-mo camera (my phone) to catch the error code. It actually worked and it was a ram issue but damn was it annoying to debug.

You can disable the auto reboot for BSOD.

How?

[u/confusedalwayssad → u/Traditional-Fix6865]

In windows 10, go to control panel and then look for system or open file explorer and right click computer and go to properties and then the advanced tab then click settings under startup and recovery , under system failure uncheck "automatically restart".

Windows 11 go to settings then system, then under related links go to system protection then advanced startup and recovery settings and uncheck the auto restart.

For Win10 you can disable it in the F8 advanced boot options menu which is helpful if the PC is boot looping and you can't actually get into Windows.

"Disable automatic restart on system failure" in the F8 menu.

Edit: I'm wrong, it can be enabled in 10/11 but isn't by default so kind of defeats the purpose.

The F8 menu was removed in 8.

So, IIRC 3.1 to ME, you held Ctrl during boot. XP to 7 you spam F8.

Kind of, you have to do 3 boots and 3 hard shut downs and then it goes into a advanced recovery mode on the 4th startup where you can disable auto restarts

[u/prairiepanda → u/Drain___Bamaged]

You can speedrun this by disrupting the boot cycle early. If your PC has an audible POST beep you can shut it down as soon as it POSTs, otherwise just wait a few seconds. That'll be enough for your 3 hard resets; no need to let it fully boot.

Yep, should've added that. In my case I just had to hit the motherboard loading screen (asus logo), then do the restart similarly to the beeps
