How to Fix Blue Screen of Death

Blue screen appears when we least expect it. Most of the times, it occurs when we are happily playing our favorite game or diligently working on the report due tomorrow. All of a sudden, the blue demon appears in front of you and it seems some sort of fatal and non-recoverable error has occur. At such point of time, you cannot do anything. You can cry or curse, but it won’t change the fact that your hard work has got disappeared. All of us dread seeing the blue screen of death. It is generally the result of a critical system error and your computer cannot keep on running when that occurs and instead crashes. Most of the problems occur due to bad drivers. Hardware problems such as corrupt memory modules or broken hard drive can be another reason.

A blue screen occurs when Windows encounters a “STOP Error.” This critical failure causes Windows to crash and stop working. The only thing Windows can do is stop the computer and restart it. This can lead to data loss, as programs don’t have a chance to save their open data — ideally, programs should continuously save their data so a blue screen of death or other type of error won’t result in data loss. A BSOD is the result of low-level software crashing — or faulty hardware.

# Repair Solution To Fix BSOD

When you get blue screen and then your computer immediately reboots without being able to read the text in the blue screen, follow the steps below.

Method 1: Using System Restore

1. Click on the Start button on the Taskbar.

2. Type “System Restore” (without quotes) in the Search box and hit Enter or,

3. Click on System Restore (when you see System Restore pop up in the list of search results).

4. Make sure the “Recommended restore” radio button is checked on the restore utility window.

5. Click on Next and follow the instructions given.

Note: There is the option on the restore utility to select “Choose a different restore point”. Unless you have a specific reason to select a different date and time than what Windows recommends, just select the recommended option stated in the steps above. If you choose to select another one, follow these steps:

1. Click on that desired date and time, and Windows 7 will perform a scan for any affected programs in that restore point.

2. Once completed, click Next and follow the instructions given.

Once you have selected the restore point, your system will start the restoring process, after which you will have to restart the system.

Method 2: Check memory problems

Memory management issues can also cause a BSOD in Windows 7. Thankfully, Windows 7 has a Memory Management Diagnostic tool that detects and solves problems related to system memory.

1. Click on the Start button on the Taskbar.

2. Type “Windows Memory Diagnostic Tool” or “Memory” (without quotes) in the Search box or,

3. Click on Windows Memory Diagnostic Tool (in the search results).

4. Click on “Restart now and check for problems (Recommended)”.

5. The system will restart, and you need to follow the instructions given on the screen.

Method 3: Remove unsupported devices

Unsupported hardware may also result in a BSOD error. The easiest solution to this problem is to uninstall such hardware. You can detect the hardware that’s creating the problem through the Device Manager in Windows.

1. Click on the Start button on the Taskbar.

2. Type “Device Manager” in the Search box.

3. Click on Device Manager (in the list of results).

4. Expand all categories in the hardware tree – (click the little arrow icons).

5. Look for devices that have a red cross (x) against their name. These devices are not supported by Windows 7 and may be one of the reasons for BSOD errors.

6. Right click on these devices, and select Uninstall.

A corrupt registry can also lead to BSOD errors in Windows 7. Suggestion is that you download a good registry cleaner and scan your system for registry errors. There are both free and paid versions available and they both have pros and cons. Most of the registry cleaners available are easy to install and operate.

The cleaning process is automated, and the programs also backup the registry before cleanup, which acts as a safeguard. You can restore the registry to its previous state if you encounter system errors after the cleaning process.

There’s really no need to panic when you see a BSOD error on your screen. Just stay calm and follow the checklist above to fix the error.
