Windows NT Error Logs

The Display Error Frames selection of the AlphaBIOS Utilities menu
allows you to view hardware error reports for systems running
Windows NT. A report is generated if a fatal error or double error halt
occurs. If the System Error Logging Software for Alpha kit is installed,
you will be able to see the report in the system event log after the
system has booted.
