Blue Screen of Death Survival Guide: BSoD 101- A Crash Course
Imagine this: It is late at night, you are sitting at your PC enjoying a game or doing work on a project and all of a sudden Windows freezes completely. All the work is lost, and you are seeing a blue screen which is full of gibberish gazing back at your face. Windows is no longer there; it is dead, until you reboot it. You have no option left except to sigh loudly, shake your fist at Bill Gates (wishing he would be there) and exasperatedly press the reset button. You have just been seen the ghost of windows crashed known as the Blue Screen of Death.
Many know it as the “BSoD”. BSoD appears if the Windows crashes or locks up. In fact, it is a Windows “stop” screen, and is created to perform two things: tell you the cause behind the crash, and to calm down your reaction and nerves by using the blue color (research tells it has a relaxing impact on folks). Though Blue Screens are hard to decrypt, all the information you require to work out what made it is shown you in blue and white—and that’s where we will go into. We are going to tell you how to analyze the blue screen error info, so you can restore the problem that is making them.
