Blue Scree of Death - No Error Information

I just installed Windows Vista Home Premium on my machine that we previously
running Windows Media Center 2005. Everything installed just fine. However,
I am now getting multiple BSOD everyday. The odd thing is that when it
crashes, I only get a blank blue screen. There absolutely no error
information. Has anyone else experienced this and how can I diagnose what is
wrong? I don't know where to even look for the solution, because there is no
information as to what is causing the error. My first thought is that it is
a memory problem, but the memory check comes back fine. Help...

Re: Blue Scree of Death - No Error Information

I've not had a BSOD on my Vista machine. I have no idea what they normall
look like, however, I know with Windows XP there is a way to view the log as
when the system crashes it makes a log. I know I ran accross it with Vista
when I was changing some settings I just don't remember where! I'll look
some more and if I can find it I'll post back, but I just wanted to let you
know that I have found a way that you can do it so if you want to search you
may find it. It is similar to XP where it is located though I do remember
that
