 How to Fix Windows Blue Screen

Fixing a Windows Blue Screen (often called the Blue Screen of Death or BSOD) can involve several troubleshooting steps. Here’s a guide to help you resolve the issue:

1. Note the Error Code

• When the BSOD appears, take note of the error code or message. This can help identify the specific problem.

2. Restart Your Computer

• Sometimes, a simple restart can resolve temporary issues.

3. Boot in Safe Mode

• Restart your computer and press F8 (or Shift + F8) during startup to access the Advanced Boot Options.
• Select Safe Mode. This starts Windows with minimal drivers and can help you troubleshoot.

4. Uninstall Recent Software or Updates

• If the BSOD started after installing new software or updates, try uninstalling them:
  • Go to Control Panel > Programs and Features and remove any recently installed programs.

5. Check for Driver Issues

• Update your device drivers:
  • Right-click on the Start button, select Device Manager, and check for any devices with a yellow exclamation mark.
  • Right-click the device and choose Update Driver.
• Roll back drivers if the BSOD started after a driver update (right-click the device, select Properties, then go to the Driver tab).

6. Run Windows Memory Diagnostic

• Search for Windows Memory Diagnostic in the Start menu, then follow the prompts to check for memory issues.

7. Check Disk for Errors

• Open Command Prompt as an administrator and type chkdsk /f /r, then press Enter. You may need to restart your computer.

8. System Restore

• If the BSOD continues, consider restoring your system to a previous point:
  • Go to Control Panel > System and Security > System > System Protection and click on System Restore.

9. Update Windows

• Ensure your Windows is up to date by going to Settings > Update & Security > Windows Update and checking for updates.

10. Reset or Reinstall Windows

• If all else fails, you might need to reset or reinstall Windows:
  • Go to Settings > Update & Security > Recovery and choose to reset your PC or reinstall Windows.
