Vista Blue Screen of Death & How To Fix It by
Sherman C.
The blue screen of death is a Microsoft windows error that affects Vista,
Windows XP and other versions of Windows. Often, this is due to software
conflicts within the windows registry. Software conflicts can be due to
video drivers not updated, or a software that we downloaded from the
internet which we installed.
1. Video driver not updated
Some people get the BSOD when trying to use Windows Media Player. This can
be fixed after updating their video card driver.
2. Faulty hardware
Other reason the blue screen of death can arise is because of faulty
hardware more specifically the RAM or Random Access Memory. These are
rectangular components that are plugged into your mother board. Your
computer may function well for a day or 2, but then when all of a sudden.
the BSOD pops up. The way to solve this is to change the RAM.
3. Faulty registry
The registry contains all the data and components found in your computer,
from printer drivers, to sound card drivers, to scanner driver. When
something goes wrong within this component of your Windows Operating
system, the blue screen error can pop up as well. Reinstalling your OS is
not the recommend way to fix the Blue screen of death. You may experience
your computer crashing while in the midst of the installing process and
you will be left with a half installed OS.
In most cases, changing your RAM and scanning your registry for errors
should fix your blue screen of death.
