How To Fix BSOD

Blue Screen is a condition when a Windows-based computer screen displays a blue background.
Another term is Blue Screen of Death (BSOD), sounds cooler and more sinister. BSOD occurs when the operating system experiences an error and is forced to stopped by the system itself.

BSOD is a little different from computer freeze or hang, because the condition is worse, fatal system error or hardware damage. But it could be a computer that often freezes to a BSOD, because it doesn't fix it. BSOD is the way the Windows operating system handles errors and keeps the damage to the system more software or hardware.
The cause of BSOD can be seen from the message displayed on the screen when the Blue Screen occurs. The message is usually in the form of certain codes. So in order to easily read the message, we can use the BlueScreenView software that helps diagnose it.

Install BlueScreen View.

IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL

In general, if the message appears IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL with code 0X0000000A
means that the system cannot detect one (or more) new devices installed on the motherboard, and installed drivers crash / corrupt.

Computer drivers are software that are tasked with introducing certain devices to the operating system, so that any hardware installed on a computer can interact with other devices and can be controlled by the operating system.

This condition can occur if you add a new device to the computer but do not install it correctly or do not install drivers that are compatible with the device (clash / crash). For VGA only, the VIDEO_DRIVER_INIT_FAILURE message will likely appear if you install a new VGA but the driver installed on the system is incompatible or incompatible. If like this, the system will recognize the device as an error.

HOW to fix it by making sure the hardware is installed perfectly on the mother board, reinstalling the driver (and updates if available), and make sure the driver is compatible. However, if you experience BSOD and get this message during a Windows upgrade, this might be caused by a driver or anti-virus incompatible with the new version that was just installed.

NTFS_FILE_SYSTEM AND FAT_FILE_SYSTEM

If this message appears during BSOD, there is a high chance that there will be an error in the system file on your computer's storage device (hard disk). NTFS and FAT are file systems on one (or more) hard disks.

NTFS (New Technology File System), is a file system used by Microsoft for the family of Windows NT operating systems (NT 3.1, NT 3.50, NT 3.51, NT 4.0) and NT 5.0 (Windows 2000, Windows XP, etc.).

The FAT (File Allocation Table), is a file system that uses the allocation table structure in its operation. Many old computer hard drives use FAT or FAT32, before moving on to NTFS. But now the FAT file system is widely used for digital camera memory cards, portable gaming devices, portable media devices, and smart phones.

BSOD because the error in the system file is shown in the message:

- NTFS_FILE_SYSTEM with code 0X00000024 or

- FAT_FILE_SYSTEM with code 0X00000023.

HOW to overcome it is to start by checking the cable that is connected to the hard drive, make sure the power cable and data cable are perfectly connected. Then check the hard disk partition using the "check disk" feature in Windows, select automatic repair if an error is found in the system file. If it is severe enough, format it on the hard disk, but first move the data to another storage device so that it does not disappear. If you find too many bad sectors, you should replace the new hard disk.

UNEXPECTED_KERNEL_MODE_TRAP

If the message UNEXPECTED_KERNEL_MODE_TRAP appears with the code 0X0000007F,
it is likely that your computer is overheated. Sometimes the MACHINE_CHECK_EXCEPTION message appears for the same reason that the computer component is too hot.

The increase in temperature on a computer device is actually only natural, because it uses electrical energy, and electronic components are usually conductors. But an increase in temperature is not reasonable, it might happen, maybe because the fan is damaged, airflow in the computer is very bad, overclocked computer components, or other causes.

The solution is to fix the airflow (air flow) in the computer so that the temperature of the component remains stable. Make sure the air can enter and hot air can come out. If necessary, add a fan, or upgrade the cooling system to a more qualified one.

If you experience this because of very long computer usage, it means you have to rest your computer, shut down the computer maybe at lunch or when you leave the house.


If you experience this because you try to overclock certain components, the solution is to stop trying or use a good cooling system. Overclock forces the component to work beyond the ability standard, therefore components need more energy. Increasing the use of this energy will cause the component to heat up faster.

PEN_LIST_CORRUPT or DATA_BUS_ERROR

This message appears most likely due to damage to RAM memory or damage to the memory slot on the mother board. RAM functions as an operating table, so if RAM is damaged, the operating system cannot continue any of the processes.

The solution is to make sure which parts are damaged. Try RAM on another motherboard that is not damaged, if it runs perfectly it is possible the RAM slot on the motherboard is damaged. Vice versa, if the other motherboard does not run perfectly then the RAM is damaged. The choice is to replace the motherboard or replace RAM.

Memory errors are also indicated by the message PAGE_FAULT_IN_NONPAGED_AREA with code 0X00000050. This is due to incorrect installation of hardware, RAM is indeed damaged, or the VGA Card memory is damaged, driver error.

Try checking the system log in the event viewer if there are errors in what drivers and drivers. Look for Critical Error at the time when the BSOD occurs. Then do Windows Memory Diagnostics, open the control panel, type "memory" in the search column. "Diagnose your computer's memory problems."
There are many causes of BSOD on computers, especially if there is damage to the hardware. If it's really hard to find the cause, too many BSOD messages like in the picture above, or lazy to check the code one by one, try doing this:

(1) Update anti-virus, then do a full scan of the system, to find out if the cause is a virus.

(2) System Restore, if BSOD occurs after you install certain programs / drivers.

(3) Restore BIOS settings to "Last Known Good Configuration, if BSOD occurs because of an error messing with the BIOS.

(4) Reset Windows or reinstall the Windows operating system, if the BSOD is because certain software crashes with the system and cannot restore the system.

(5) Change / service certain components / hardware, if all the steps above are still done but are still BSOD, then there is a high probability of damage to the hardware.
