Hello. Ive got a fairly new PC (few ,onths since bought) - but occasionally I get a dump / blue screen.

it creates a report & sends it somewhere. but it also has an error code7 the programe/file that is causing the problem.

1) Is there a way to save / record the error message & file that is causing the problem ?

i do know the error windows.com/stopcode but the Pc reboots quicker than i can record/remember the file causing the error.

2) is there a way to copy-paste the errors to here, to get guidance on how to fix it..

First thing to do is to stop windows automatically rebooting on blue screen so you have time to read the stop code:

https://www.tomshardware.com/how-to/windows-disable-restart-after-bsod

Then you would probably want to use windbg to analyse the memory.dmp file, but this is likely quite daunting if you are a novice. You may get all the information you need from the blue screen if you have time to read it though.

If you take a picture of the blue screen and post it here, I'm sure people would be happy to speculate as to the cause.

You dont happen to be using any USB plug in hubs or similar?

Windows 10 is .. pretty stable.. in my experience.. BSOD's are almost always faulty drivers or faulty hardware these days.

You can disable the reboot on BSOD easily enough

Just a big +1 for this. Crappy old drivers for USB devices can be really problematic.
I had a USB-RS232 adapter that would make the PC blue screen when trying to make a serial connection. And then later on a "port replicator" that just hated change.
