2nd Build Question

I successfully completed my second build for a family member and everything is a-ok except for one little problem. It seems when I log-off or shutdown Im getting an error message, however it does not stop windows from shutting down or logging off so I never get to see this message. The system is performing well, I don't see any issue ... but I'd like to get this little thing sorta out if possible. Is there anyway that I can see what error box is popping up, it just goes by so fast you don't have time to see it.

If it goes by too fast how do you know it's an error message?

Whenever you're asking for help you should always include the system specs for the computer in question. List the parts by brand and model including the exact version of the OS and the power supply.

Also you'll want to list all the background programs running on the computer...the message may be related to one of these.

You could try going to Run, the type "eventvwr" (without quotes) and look in application and system, see if theres any errors showing up in there you think are related.. then Google the error code or post it back here.
