  • The blue screen of death (BSoD) or Windows stop error can be incredibly frustrating, but it can be fixed. The trick is knowing what went wrong in the first place. There can be a lot of different causes, so in this video I will show you how to troubleshoot it using event logs, the error code, and a memory dump. I will also show you how to use safe mode, msconfig, chkdsk, system restore, and sfc to fix a computer where Windows 10 or Windows 11 won't start.

      Glad it helped. I'm not a fan of randomly guessing and replacing parts. My first job was working in a computer shop and that's basically what happened; then I got a job working on servers. You can't just turn servers off to take a guess when the parts are expensive and it affects an entire business every time you try something, so you have to learn to diagnose it properly.

    Incredibly helpful! So clear and concise to understand. My girlfriend unfortunately did a recent windows update and it went haywire. Next thing you know, it goes into a boot loop and never goes to the advanced recovery options page and was unable to start in safe mode. Just kept getting the blue screen of death screen message. Was able to boot into the advanced recovery options by booting from a USB with the Windows 11 media creation tool from the link you provided and was able to restore it to the period before the problematic update. Worked like a charm! Thanks so much!

    Once, I encountered a BSOD error quite literally out of the blue. This was when I wasn't as familiar with tech as I am now. I watched and looked up an unhealthy amount of guides on how to fix the issue online and ultimately I found around 5 or so scanning tools which apparently fix the software issues on your computer themselves, plus I found out about sfc scan ad driver re-installation. Now, after running all of those in order my problem did seem to be resolved, however before that, in retrospect, I did something rather stupid in running all of the scans and processes at the same time. I am assuming now that the scans started scanning each other causing problems since I instantly got a BSOD. I don't run 7 important processes at the same time anymore, thankfully and I haven't had the issue since. The worst thing is I think it genuinely was just an old driver error from the start making my little scanning experiment utterly meaningless and god knows sfc didn't fix anything.

    • @ProTechShow
      @ProTechShow  Před rokem +2

      It's likely. Most BSODs seem to be driver-related. Possibly the tools worked by prodding various parts of your system to see if an error occurred rather than analysing the memory dump... and found the problem but induced a crash in the process. I have a strong distrust of such automated tools. If they just give you recommendations that's fair enough but when it comes to the ones that carry out "repairs" automatically... They often cause more problems than they fix by deleting things they shouldn't.

    One common pattern was after everyclean installation of Windows the crashes will only start when i installed applications either from the Microsoft store or common applications ive used before with older versions of Windows 10. Most of my applications were 3D CAD and modelling as well as Steam. Finally realized the issue was with incompatible GPU drivers. Whenever i did a clean installation of Windows 10 it would look for display drivers and install the Nvidia app. I assumed the correct drivers were installed. This was the problem. Apps were freezing or crashing to the BSOD and i didnt know what was going on. I tried SFC, DISM, restore points, recovery drives, System Repair Chkdsk. Was going no were. Windows would get so unstable until you cant even boot in and have no option but to do another clean install. So whenever you clean install windows also go to Nvidia and download the appropriate GPU drivers before installing your applications.

I watched your video only after (hopefully) finding the solution in the randomized alice-in-wonderland style, but it seems to work. In my case Chrome and some of its extensions or its hardware acceleration feature (still monitoring this) caused Windows to crash basically nonstop, it even affected Window's menu like settings which I couldn't open.
    Thanks a lot again! I will definitely come back if my solution will appear to be only temporary.

    Thanks for your great video. I Have a 1 year old Dell laptop with Windows 10. I was trying to install an external ASUS USB AC68 WiFi booster. It works perfectly on my older Windows 7 laptop. I couldn't get it to work so read lots of computer threads. Unfortunately I fell for a fix that turned out to only give me the blue screen of death. The thread had me go into msconfig, go to boot tab, then advanced options and then check PCI lock and then restart. At first I was suspicious but there were several responses that said thanks for the help because it fixed the same issue I was having with my WiFi booster. Now no matter what I have tried, I cannot get to a place where I can uncheck the PCI lock box. Toward the end of your video (starting at about 15 minutes I think maybe there is information there for me but unfortunately, some of it was a bit over my head. I downloaded the Microsoft file you suggested onto a memory stick but not sure how to make my computer boot to the memory stick at 'power up'. I'm thinking that when I power my laptop up, it will just go to the blue screen of death. How do I get it to boot up to the memory stick? If I can just get back to msconfig somehow, I can uncheck the PCI Lock box. I'd sure appreciate any suggestion you have.

    • @ProTechShow
      @ProTechShow  Před 2 lety

      You usually need to press a button when the computer is starting up. When the initial logo shows that's usually the right time to start mashing the button. Which button you need varies between devices but is often F12, F10, Esc, or Del. It should either say on the screen itself or in your manual. If you hit the right key you will get a menu that lets you choose which device to boot from - pick your USB drive.

I am just not a computer tech person. I was able to load the Windows repair tool onto a USB memory stick I have a Dell Inspiron 3793 Windows 10 model. I was hoping to see something asking me what drive to open at startup but just way too much stuff for someone who is not a techie. I don't want to do the wrong thing and screw my computer up even more. I need someone to walk me through step by step. I don't expect you to take the time to do that. I just want to get back to config so I can uncheck the PCI Lock button. Right now I am feeling pretty stupid. Thanks so much for trying to help me.

But...if I restart, it gives me the option to hit F2 to go into boot mode. the thing is, is that if I don't change anything and just cycle through the windows, it starts windows again. On the last time I did this, it completely changed my windows appearance and put it back to factory but left the files I was using before. I can still access them and use the internet and the like.
    As for the error, it changes each time it does the BCD. Go figure.
