Check Memory
The primary memory of a computer is the Random Access Memory (RAM). Its importance in the working of your computer is huge. Unforeseen situations like the problems with your memory result in computer BSOD.
1. Click Start button on the Taskbar.
2. Type Windows Memory Diagnostic and press ENTER.
3. Click the option Restart now and check for problems (recommended) to immediately start the memory diagnostics test.
If any irreversible problem was found with your memory, replace that defective with a newly purchased memory.
Check the Data Cables of your Hard Disk
The hard disk has two cables connected, viz. the Power Cord and the Data Cable. A malfunctioning or loose data cable may result in BSOD problem.
1. Turn off your computer.
2. Open the CPU Cabinet.
3. Remove the Data Cable and the Power Cord of your Hard Disk.
4. Properly connect both the cables again.
Scan and Fix the Registry Problems
The information filled in the registry is frequently accessed by your operating system and the installed programs. Any outdated, incorrect or misleading information may result in the runtime errors with respective procedures. The computer blue screen of death problem may occur if the major or sensitive portion of your registry is improperly modified.
You need to fix hidden problems in your registry. Doing so is possible manually and using a registry fixing software. The former is a more complex and time consuming way whereas the latter is a safer, quicker and recommended way to fix the registry.
Check and Fix the Bad Sectors on your Hard Disk
The hard disk is a medium of storing all your information, including the system files. Frequent power cuts, improper ways of shutting down your computer corrupt the hard disk. The bad sectors on your hard disk make it difficult to retrieve and modify the files. In the same sense, when a system file is unable to access the computer blue screen of death may appear. So, fix the problems with your hard disk.
1. Open My Computer.
2. Right click a drive. For example, the drive C.
3. Select Properties.
4. Click Tools | Check Now.
5. Follow the instructions on your screen.
