Yes, it does create a report. You should be able to the boxes on your screen where it is recording the test.
I will get help from someone who is more proficient than I with Prime to give you advice.
Need Help to figure out my BSOD problem.

It will generate a report at the end. If it has crashed three times already chances are good that there is a memory problem.
We here recommend memtestx86 over prime for several reasons. I suggest you try downloading memtest, burn it to a cd< and run it for at least 5 passes with only one memory stick in. If it passes (no errors) then run each other stick by it self. After that you still need to check the mobo slots one at a time.
It is a long involved process, but the only was to know for sure what the exact problem is.
Try this free stress test: Free Software - GIMPS
If that doesnt help let us knowPrime95 Setup:
- extract the contents of the zip file to a location of your choice
- double click on the executable file
- select "Just stress testing"
- select the "Blend" test. If you've already run MemTest overnight you may want to run the "Small FFTs" test instead.
- "Number of torture test threads to run" should equal the number of CPU's times 2 (if you're using hyperthreading).
The easiest way to figure this out is to go to Task Manager...Performance tab - and see the number of boxes under CPU Usage History
Then run the test for 6 to 24 hours - or until you get errors (whichever comes first).
The Test selection box and the stress.txt file describes what components that the program stresses.

Just a thought, but could this be what caused me the BSOD's?
I wanted to make my Acer Aspire One, as fast as possible.

So i followed some guides, to speed it up. Now I have restored default settings, and haven't had a crash yet.

I am not really involved in this thread, but I do know a large number of computer problems are caused by tweaking and BSOD is no exception. Since you came here for help, I will give you the best that I know how. Windows 7 is a great OS, Microsoft has trained experienced people for years to write the program. Leave it alone, for years of happy surfing. That was my help you are free to use it or leave it. Just wanted to present the best help that I know how.

Rich and Tews are spot on.
There is little you can do to Windows to speed it up. Windows 7 is a brand new operating system that is completely different than XP or even Vista. The old tricks we learned about XP do not apply to Windows 7. Forget everything you learned about XP.
Third party enhancing programs are pure snake oil. At best they will do nothing; at worst they will mess up your system. Windows is a closed source system. Developers of these programs do not have the core code of Win 7 and are not working on definitive information, but rather they are going on past knowledge and experience. It is guess work - and so far, no one has developed an enhancing or speed up program that will actually work with Win 7.
