Blue error screen

Hi all , my girlfriend her laptop won’t start up, i get the window logo loading bar thing and next after that a blue error screen, but it snaps so fast away that i cant even see which error it is.
is there any way to freeze that moment te see which error it is ?

Answer #1
not to my knowledge but sounds like it could be a corrupt HDD…
Answer #2
But if the HD would be corrupt i wouldn’t get the loading bar thing, or am I wrong?
Then I should get the error in the begin, I still can choose the startup options etc

Answer #3
I think you must set up new OS
Answer #4
Take a video and just pause it at the blue screen.
Answer #5
THe problem is, it is a compaq mini 700 which hasnt got a cd/dvd reader…
Other option is USB stick, but I got some important documents on it, so I want to solve the problem without reinstalling the OS..

Answer #6
You can hook the HDD up to another computer to back up your documents.
Answer #7
well i had a Eee mini and this happened…would start up xp loading screen then blue screen…i hooked it up to a external dvd/cd drive and tried to reinstall and it says it couldnt access the HDD
Answer #8
Hmmm, then i guess i need to try to install os from a usb drive, and if that not helps send it back to compaq, i still have waranty i guess.
