What is a blue screen of death?
The Blue Screen of Death (also called BSoD, Blue Screen, or bluescreen), known officially as a Stop Error or a bug check, is the error screen displayed by the Microsoft Windows family of operating systems upon encountering a critical error, of a non-recoverable nature, that causes the system to "crash." The term is named after the color of the screen generated by the error. In UNIX-based operating systems, a similar term is kernel panic.
Stop errors are usually hardware or driver related, causing the computer to stop responding in order to prevent damage to the hardware, whereupon, in the latest versions of Windows, the screen presents information for diagnostic purposes that was collected as the operating system performed a bug check.

What is important to write down when seeing a blue screen
The BSOD displays error codes that explain what just happened inside the kernel. The STOP error displays four integer numbers in the form 0x00 (0x00,0x00,0x00,0x00) Where the first is 32-bits and the rest are the bit size of the machine (32-bit or 64-bit). The first integer is an enum that represents an error messages. Below are some of the possible messages
DIVIDE_BY_ZERO_ERROR
(DRIVER_)IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL
KMODE_EXCEPTION_NOT_HANDLED
REGISTRY_ERROR
INACCESSIBLE_BOOT_DEVICE
UNEXPECTED_KERNEL_MODE_TRAP
BAD_POOL_HEADER (0x00000019)
NTFS_FILE_SYSTEM
KERNEL_DATA_INPAGE_ERROR
NMI_HARDWARE_FAILURE
MANUALLY_INITIATED_CRASH1 (0xDEADDEAD)
PAGE_FAULT_IN_NONPAGED_AREA (0x00000050)
DATA_BUS_ERROR (0x0000002E)
MEMORY_MANAGEMENT
KMODE_EXCEPTION_NOT_HANDLED (0x00000001e)

What to do when facing blue screen of death?
Seeing a blue screen on a windows is never a good thing, However in most cases you can re-start your computer and everything should go back to normal. However if this continues to persist then you have a problem on your hands. Some systems will flash the blue screen soon as your windows O/S (operating system) boots. Normally this is a sign of hardware failure opposed to software, However don't rule out the software issues to early.

You have very few options here, one is to call technical support that is offered by the computer brand name. However in most cases the Technical support will fall short here; mainly because major companies like Dell, or HP for example exported the Technical Support lines overseas, and all they are doing is reading off of the computers in front of them, very few know what they are doing. So what's next?

your second option is to write down the codes that the blue screen gives you, it's safe to write down all of them incase you need them later. You can go on to the Microsoft website enter in the code that is causing the problem and it should bring up what the error message is caused by. Doing this will help you better understand what exactly is going on, and in some cases how to fix the problem.

Third option is taking it to the computer repair store, and have them resolve the issue. MPR Technical Solutions LLC is here to offer you the best support we can, with our very low rates free diagnostics, and certified IT Techs.
