I was going for a variation on PEBKAC. As described, the picture would include the source of the problem.

Guilty as charged, but I think it was legit in my case; just as everyone else does.

My situation:
1. Stupid hybrid hard-drive on laptop did not get along with Win 10 PreFetch, causing machine to overheat and shutdown.
2. Event log only had generic unexpected shutdown messages.
3. BIOS event log actually was logging all the shutdowns.

Been having the problem for about 6 months intermittently with no actions taken because they could not see evidence of what actual error was. Pulled up the BIOS event log and snapped a pic. Next day new laptop with an SSD the same size as what i had

Those I can understand. The controller app, which is a normal Windows app, not so much. [PrtScn] and Alt-[PrtScn] are your friends.

Does it still annoy if they have an optical zoom? Smile | :)

Oh you just had to go there, didn't you?

Optical zoom is ok. Digital zoom causes immediate fecal loss.

A very long time ago a customer of mine had a printer that printed the error reports...

No, she would decimate your thoughts. Squids have ten arms, or eight arms and two tentacles. Whatever.
