Windows 7 is configured by default to restart immediately after a Blue Screen of Death

(BSOD) or other major system problem. This reboot usually happens too fast to see the error

message on screen.

Follow these simple steps to disable the automatic restart feature for system failures in Windows

7.

Important: Unable to boot completely into Windows 7 due to the BSOD? See Tip #2 at the

bottom of this page for help.

Difficulty: Easy

Time Required: Disabling the Automatic Restart option in Windows 7 usually takes less than

10 minutes

Here's How:

1. Click on the Start button and then on Control Panel.

Tip: In a hurry? Type system in the search box after clicking Start. Choose System under

the Control Panel heading in the list of results and then skip to Step 4.

2. Click on the System and Security link.

Note: If you're viewing the Small icons or Large iconsview of Control Panel, you won't see

this link. Simply double-click on the System icon and proceed to Step 4.

3. Click on the System link.

4. In the task pane on the left, click the Advanced system settings link.

5. Locate the Start up and Recovery section near the bottom of the window and click on

the Settings button.

6. In the Startup and Recovery window, locate and unchecked the check box next to Automatically

restart.

7. Click OK in the Startup and Recovery window.

8. Click OK in the System Properties window.

9. You can now close the System window.

10. From now on, when a problem causes a BSOD or another major error that halts the system,

Windows 7 will not force a reboot. You'll have to reboot manually when an error appears.
