The blue screen of death or BSOD generally appears for a fraction of a second, creates some logs or dump files as many people call it, and then suddenly restarts the computer. This procedure is so fast that the user often does not have the possibility to read the error code correctly and probably does not have the possibility to verify what went wrong. Users will receive error messages like “Dump file creation failed due to an error during dump creation.” These crash dump files are stored internally on the computer and only an administrator can access them.
