The Basics in Desktop Computer Troubleshooting Part 5
  1. BLUE SCREEN OF DEATH

a.       Reinsert the Memory (DIMM), Video Card, PCI Modem, Network adapter and Sound Card.

b.      In most cases, hardware is the problem such as defective memory (Note: Do not ever combine different memory modules such as combining DDR 300 with DDR 400. As much as possible use the same brand and same memory type).

c.       Motherboard is defective - then change your motherboard (Note: for compatibility of your existing hardware use same motherboard specifications.)

d.      In least cases, the Video Card is defective.

e.      Operating System is corrupted (common in windows). This maybe caused by improper shutdown, virus, bad installation. Reinstalling your OS  is the best solution. (OS should be clean or original copy, not repacked, ripped or cracked)

f.        Drivers are not compatible (Video and Audio driver incompatibility). To solve this in windows, start computer in SAFE MODE then remove them from the Device Manager and uninstall the drivers in Add Remove Programs.

g.     Appears after overclocking any component. Better configure within rated limits. (Warning: Overclocking which can result to excess heat can damage the motherboard.)
