How to Fix a Blue Screen of Death on Windows 10 / 11
Ғылым және технология
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.

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!

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.

Excellent video!! Several blue screens appear to me throughout a year, but lately every 15 days; Now it's hotter at home. The event viewer shows one last "atapi" error before the blue screen " \Device\Ide\IdePort3". But the system disk is a Samsung SSD with 20% overprovisioning in good condition, although I have not updated the firmware because in the forums they do not recommend updating it because it can be conflictive in AMD. Same thing with Gigabyte's SATA controllers; They say it's better to leave the Windows ones. The "barracuda" data disk sometimes hangs and after a minute it works again. I am with W7 64, AMD and 32 GB.
When my laptop started getting these annoying Blue Screens of Death, I took it to the computer repair shop to have it checked and diagnosed. Turns out that some antivirus software are outdated. So I was told to never use those again and simply use Emsisoft and Ublocker extensions. That means McAfee, Avast and Ccleaner are now junk software. Since then, my laptop hasn't suffered a single BSoD.

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.

I am 71 yrs old, but a mini tech, i tried all the fixes you mentioned and nothing worked so i went to windows power shell running as admin. I did the sfc /scannow. After apx. 15 minutes windows found many system file errors and fixed them all. Now after leaving my desktop on wallpaper screen for 2 days straight, no more blu screens and re-starts. . But of course, every ones problem can be a different fix.

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
Жыл бұрын
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.

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.

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.

@@ProTechShow Wow...thanks for quick reply. OK, I tried your suggestion and F12 took me to the bios page. Unfortunately I was pretty intimated as to what to do. 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.
THANKS A LOT!!!🎉 I had the critical_process_died error and I eventually ended up downloading the windows creation tool on my USB.....I followed the steps and boom! My PC is back....... Thank you so much

@@ProTechShow yep, it only happens with 1 game and looks like SW bug causes a memory error which trigers an system crash. I solved it by locking FPS and lowering the graphics. IMHO.... bad optimasation of the game in question.
I'm hoping the issue is fixed, but this was a very helpful video regardless of the specific issue I have! Straight to the point, organized, and overall good structure. Love the video. Thank you ❤

Weirdest BSOD I have seen was caused by using old boot drive with a new system. There were so many different components, not to mention CPU architecture, that Windows said, "F it, I'm out!"

Don't think I'd even bother trying to untangle that one. Reinstall time! I take moving systems as a prompt to do a forced cleanout anyway.

I think I've had this issue as well, but I've run multiple clean installs of Windows 10 on the boot drive and the issue persists.
Thanks alot you gained new subscriber ❤️
Thanks Andrew for this very helpful tutorial, I was searching on your other video if you already have posting regarding "Black screen after logging in" I'm hoping if you can also do tutorial/shed some light on how to fix it.

I don't have a video on that. My first guess would be video driver, but it's just a guess. If you can get into safe mode then try removing and reinstalling a fresh download of your video driver to see if it helps. If safe mode has the same problem then it's probably not the driver.

@Pro Tech Show yes I did that but no success, i end up reformatting it :) btw, found this "SYSTEM INTERNALS tool" which you mentioned on your video "Useful Tools for IT Pros", really interested learning it. I heard its very helpful on finding the root cause of system hanging/slow/black screen issue as well. I have to admit that I am one of those who blindingly fixing this kind of issue, but no offence for me, it is actually an eye opener and encouragement. I know this will be a very time consuming topic, but really looking forward if you can share with us exclusive tutorial/real world application of these tools.
Great video , very easy to follow, and , None of it helped, it's weird, everything seems like it should work. I'm considering just gutting out the whole bloody thing, it's only 3.5 years old !

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.
Thanks a lot this was very helpful!

I've been through this issue for so long and finally solved it you have to go to this process stage by stage 1- Scan your computer by 3rd party antivirus 2- CMD as administrator >> command sfc /scannow and chkdsk 3- Use 3rd party software to update all your drivers including GPU and windows 4- Defrag your disks 5- Stress test your GPU using benchmark softwares 6- test ur ram using Memtest 86 7- Go to your Bios and turn off CMS compatibility support module or Legacy mode and keep it UEFI only
Great and very helpful, Thanks a lot for this detailed info, I was able to detect the problem ( using WinDbg ), and now solved,Many thanks😍🙏

Glad it helped. Somone else mentioned Valorant very recently. I wonder if it includes anticheat software - they're notorious for causing bluescreens.
Very nice video. While I still have no clue what exactly I should do to fix the two errors crashing windows, I now know the exact 2 errors I'm getting. It's a start.
Very much appreciated. Keep it up!

Glad it helped! Intel RST was crashing on one of my devices as well - removed it and no more problems. To be fair it wasn't 100% RST's fault in my case as the combination of RST version, motherboard, and OS weren't officially supported together.
The windows app worked, or at least so far. My issue was the product System Mechanic. Got rid of it, crashes have stopped so far. I recommend the windbg app in microsoft store. Made finding issue quick and easy. And this video was a great guidance to make it easier, thank you!

This is very hard to fix this idk why but do you know how to fix a looping 0xc000021a without going to the regular screen where you have the search bar and stuff because it will send me to bsod or a screen where it scans for problems and it constantly shows that theres no problems and sends me a scare when it sends a loud beep. I seriously can't find other videos to help me fix this , i can't use command prompt and i cant get to the screen where you can enable safe mode so do yk how to fix this? Tysm if you do!
Hay a while ago my desk smashed because I put my keys down quite hard after raging on game pc went through the desk had a lil bump ever since my pc just crashes whenever it gets to warm or a lil overwhelmed do you think this could be a ssd problem as my friend came and replaced everything else except the case and ssd I’m useless at pc’s and really don’t want fork out on a ssd if it isn’t the actual problem …. Also when my crashes I don’t have half a second to look at the blue screen error it just goes of the my pc just starts right back up
