subject: How To Stop Windows Errors [print this page] Sick and tired of the Windows Stop Errors that keep showing up on your computer? While these errors leave you little opportunity to actually track down what the root cause is due to the lack of useful information provided, there is a way you can quickly and easily fix those pesky Windows Stop Errors, and it can be done in a matter of minutes.
What is a Windows Stop Error?
In easy to understand terms, this occurs when your computer ceases to function properly in order to avoid further damage to your computer.
99.999% of the time you will see the error messages popup as a result of some sort of hardware failure which could be your video card, motherboard, sound card, etc. and most of the time these messages show up due to driver compatibility or corrupt drivers.
How to Easily Fix Windows Stop Errors
In order to find out which hardware device and driver are causing the issue, you need to look through your event viewer to try and determine the specific device that needs to be fixed and then your first course of action would be to download and reinstall the device driver associated with the failed hardware.
The problem with this however, is again the lack of information provided as you'll likely need to be a computer expert to make sense out of those event viewer messages.
Another issue is that if you end up installing the wrong device driver, you could end up in worse shape than you started.
Instead, the easier way to update your failed device drivers is to use automatic driver update software.
This powerful software can scan your computer and then download and install updated drivers for not only the corrupt or incompatible driver that is likely causing your error messages, but can update the drivers for all of your hardware devices.
And having up to date drivers installed for your hardware will not only be the cure for your Windows Stop Errors, but it will also ensure all of your hardware is performing at optimum levels and can have a profound effect on the overall performance of your computer.
