Is there any way to make Windows 8 and newer show more info (address, file) when it has blue screen like it was before?

Googling "how to make windows 8 show info in blue screen" or sorts only shows typical questions on how to fix blue screen.

  • It's showing the same information it always has, in fact what is display now, actually is more verbose. In any event there isn't a away to go to the old style of BSOD – Ramhound Aug 10 '16 at 11:08
  • @Ramhound A frowney face with exception name doesn't look like before, when it shown filename and address too. – Protheus Aug 10 '16 at 11:14
  • The BSOD never showed the file responsible. In any event it doesn't matter, it can't be changed, and BlueScreenViewer while a great program is natorious for blaming the wrong file for the crash – Ramhound Aug 10 '16 at 11:17
  • @Ramhound This screenshot seems to think otherwise: http://www.howtogeek.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/11/x5bsod.png.pagespeed.gp+jp+jw+pj+js+rj+rp+rw+ri+cp+md.ic.vYS2_0xBFt.png My colleague had often used it to figure out that nvidia driver was the reason and reboot in safe mode afterwards to fix it. – Protheus Aug 10 '16 at 12:14
  • That is my point the "problem file" isn't identified correctly and that's all BlueScreenViewer detects. – Ramhound Aug 10 '16 at 12:40

There is free software which allows you to diagnose the problem by viewing the most recent BSOD dump files and telling you what each error code means.

See here and download it.
