14.3 Bug Check / Blue Screen Event Records
When the system experiences a bug check (blue screen), there will be multiple records written to the event log. The first is a Bug Check / Blue
Screen OS Stop/Shutdown Event Record; this can be followed by multiple Bug Check / Blue Screen code OEM records that will contain the
Bug Check / Blue Screen codes. This information can be used to determine what caused the failure.
