The Infamous Blue Screen of Death - Diagnose and Repair It

The dreaded Blue Screen of Death has probably happened to everyone who owns a computer, at least once. If it happens more than once then you have a problem and you will need to know how to diagnose and repair the infamous Blue Screen of Death error screen.

There are only a few causes of the infamous Blue Screen of Death:

- Bad Memory
- Wrong Power Supply
- Over Heating - CPU Fan
- Incompatible Hardware or Software
- Windows Registry

The first thing you are normally instructed to do is to reboot your system. If you are able to get back in to Windows and continue working, the problem is not necessarily over. Bad memory, incompatible hardware or faulty fans are most likely not the problem, the main cause of the Blue Screen of Death is the Windows registry.

Your Windows registry stores all your user profiles, systems hardware and software settings and configurations, and stores all this information as a single entry for each setting in the registry. Over time your registry can become bloated, filled with unneeded entries, or be infected with corrupt or malicious entries from adware, spyware, viruses, or other malicious software.

Manually working in your Windows registry is not recommended unless you know exactly what you are doing. You can download and install a registry cleaner from the internet that is compatible with your version of Windows. You should create a back up of the registry before you attempt to repair the Blue Screen of Death.
