Godwin (a
friend of mine) called this morning compelling about his laptop giving him Blue
Screen constantly, so I have decide to write about Resolving Blue Screen Errors
in Windows 7.
He is not
the only person to experience it, we all sometimes do and when it does happen
we do get worry.
Now, what is
Blue Screen or Stop Errors?
Stop errors
(also sometimes called blue screen or black screen errors) can occur if a
serious problem causes Windows 7 to shut down or restart unexpectedly. You
might see a message that says, "Windows has been shut down to prevent
damage to your computer."
These errors
can be caused by both hardware and software issues, and it can be difficult to
troubleshoot the problem.
Before
fixing a Microsoft Windows blue screen or blue screen of death error (BSoD) you
must first identify what error it is. Since there are different blue screen
errors.
The
following tools and methods can often help get Windows up and running again.
IF YOU CAN'T START WINDOWS AT ALL
The
following tools can help you uninstall or roll back software changes, repair
Windows startup files, and restore your system from an earlier backup. If none
of those suggestions fix the problem, you can reinstall Windows 7.
When
attempting to recover Windows:
If you use a
Tablet PC or other computer with a touchscreen, you might need to connect a
keyboard and mouse in order to use Startup Repair and the other tools in the
System Recovery Options menu.
If Windows 7
came preinstalled on your computer, your computer manufacturer might have
included other recovery options. For more information, refer to the
documentation that came with your computer, or go to the manufacturer's
website.

option.
