Hello everyone.
I know the Blue Screen of Death is a famous problem in windows XP and windows vista or 7 maybe..
And when I had them a lot in the past I decided to learn something more about it;
how to fix it ofcourse.
And that's what I'm gonna learn you guys.
This tutorial is just the simple way, it doesnt always work. There are also ways where you
have to delete "hard to find" files and edit "hard to find" files, but thats not what I am going to do.
What the most people probably have to do is this:
Start --> Control Panel --> System --> advanced --> Start up and recovery --> settings --> uncheck the box "automaticly restart of system failure/crash".
After you done this you are ready to get the "Blue Screen of Dead!" (it won't disapear right away anymore)
The Blue Screen Shows 2 important things. 1: (name).sys. And 2: STOPx 0xXXXXXXXX. You need to get both names, write thim down or something.
Reset your computer. (Just press the reset button at your pc
)

Now you need to analyze the crash dump file. You can see that it is writing dump files to C:\Windows\Minidump (by default). Browse there and you will get a file for every BSOD you've come upon that was able to be written to a dump log.
To analyze the dump log, you need to download Windbg which is part of the Debugging tools (comes in x86 and x64 http://www.microsoft.com/whdc/Devtoo...g/default.mspx).
1. Open Windbg
2. Go to File > Symbol File Path and enter SRV*c:\symbols*http://msdl.microsoft.com/download/symbols
3. Go to File > Open Crash Dump and browse to the minidump directory
4. It will open, spit out a bunch of text, scroll up to where it says "use !analyze -v", click that and you will get details about which process caused the BSOD, memory references, etc
Then take THAT data to google. That's how we do it in biz
If you still dont succeed in getting it fixed.
Place your problem and codes here, and i'll try to help you.
