Hello to all my readers and sorry for not updating TechReloaded frequently. Well its my 5th post on TechReloaded and in this post I am going to show you all some methods to fix BSOD. First of all you need to know what actually blue screen of death is.
What Is Blue Screen Of Death (BSOD)?
According to Wikipedia The Blue Screen of Death (also known as a stop error, blue screen, Blue Screen of Doom, BSOD, bug check screen or Stop screen) is an error screen displayed after a fatal system error. A blue screen of death will appear only when your windows runs into a serious problem that the windows couldn’t handle itself. So,it displays us the error message and restarts the PC so that we can do something to fix it. BSOD is a common problem of Windows PC, even I also faced this issue several times. But I managed to fix it completely. Actually blue screen errors are caused by faulty hardware’s. When a BSOD occurrs , it creates a ‘minidump’ file that contains information about the crash and saves it to your disk. You can view information about these minidumps to help identify the cause of the blue screen.How To Fix Blue Screen Of Death (BSOD?
Now, we all know what BSOD is,but don’t know how to fix it. So, I am going to show some ways to fix BSOD.Method 1:
Use the System Restore. Its the most easy and safe method to fix BSOD. I recommend you all to try this method first then to try others. By using system restore you can roll back your PC to a previous state. If it works you will know it was a software problem.Method 2:
Scan your Computer for Malware. BSOD can occurred because of a virus in your PC,especially the one that infects the MBR(Master Boot Record) or boot sector. Make sure your virus scanning software is completely up to date and that it’s configured to scan the MBR and boot sector.Method 3:
Check your Hardware’s. As I mentioned before,generally BSOD occurs due to faulty hardware’s. Check if your all hardware’s are working properly or not and if any of your hardware’s having an outdated driver. To check hardware’s.- Click Start
- Right Click Computer
- Select Manage
- Navigate to Device Manager tab To update the drivers ,use driver genius software.
Method 4:
Method 5:
Boot your PC into Safe Mode. If your computer turns into blue screen each and every time you turn it on,try booting into safe mode. In safe mode, Windows loads only the essential drivers. If a driver you’ve installed is causing Windows to blue screen, it shouldn’t do so in safe mode. You can work on fixing the problem from safe mode.Method 6:
Update your Windows. Outdated features or drivers can cause a lots of problem is Windows. Try updating your Windows and use only genuine Microsoft Windows. Don’t use any cracked version of Windows. Updating may solve BSOD.Method 7:
Test your RAM. RAM is the common culprit of almost every problem in Windows. When RAM fails,it cause the system to become unstable and that leads to BSOD or some other fatal errors. You can test your RAM by using a program called “memtest86”. This program is available for free online, and is run by burning it to a bootable CD.Method 8:
Check Hard Disk for errors. Run the “chkdsk” function on your hard drive to scan for errors and fix potential problems. A failing hard drive can cause Blue Screens due to corrupted files. To run chkdsk, open Computer/My Computer and right-click the disk that you want to scan. Select Properties.- From the Properties screen, select the Tools tab.
- Click Check Now in the Error Checking section. Your computer will prompt you to restart in order to scan the disk.
Method 9:
Use BlueScreenView. Its a small utility developed by NirSoft. It scans all your minidump files created during BSOD and displays the information about all crashes in one table. For each crash, BlueScreenView displays the minidump filename, the date/time of the crash, the basic crash information displayed in the blue screen (Bug Check Code and 4 parameters), and the details of the driver or module that possibly caused the crash (filename, product name, file description, and file version).You can download the software from here.
Method 10:
Re-install Windows. Its the last and final option ,if all the above methods didn’t worked for you then you can try by Re-installing Windows on your PC. Make sure you have a backup of your all important files before re-installing Windows as it can wipe all your hard disk. If computer is still having BSOD after performing all the above steps ,you likely have a hardware problem.That’s all about solving BSOD. If you think I missed any point or method or if you have any other working methods do share it with us by comments.
