Blue Screen of Death (Answers please)?
This happens to me sometimes. I’ll be playing a game and have a few programs running in the background. If I open up 1 more program too many the whole thing crashes down and I get this message: http://anticrashassistantreview.com/wp-content/uploads/bsod.gif
Of course I didn’t know how to take a screen shot while it was like this so… I took that link off the web. But what is this? I believe it’s the BlueScreen of death. How do I fix this?
Here’s the error message I got: http://i1040.photobucket.com/albums/b405/Corey_Millsom/Help-1.jpg
Here is my Computer info: http://i1040.photobucket.com/albums/b405/Corey_Millsom/Help.jpg
If that helps… How do I fix this?
Best reply by VistaHacker:
Well, you have a nice computer. I would have said not enough RAM, but you have as much RAM as your system will recognize. Try this.
Click START.
type “memory” without the quotes.
Click Windows Memory diagnostic.
Run this. You may need to restart to do this.
If it comes up saying that you have failed or faulty memory or something similar, then you may need to take it back for a replacement. (If it’s still under warranty.)
Otherwise I can’t help you much.
Hope this helped!
original question and answer on Yahoo! site
that is not a true blue screen of death, its just a client request overload on your computer. you either need to upgrade your computer itself or run a few different bug checks on your OS. or you could stop having so many programs open at the same time. here’s my advice in a few steps.
1: go to your windows/start button and click on run (if you don’t see “run” go to the search bar)
2: in either the run command bar or the search bar type in “msconfig”
3: open it up and click on the start up tab
4: once you’re there Uncheck the boxes of any programs you don’t regularly use or no longer need at start up
5: go to the services tab and do the same as before
6: restart your computer and see how the Processors are doing with the new client requests.
i hope this helped and if it didn’t im sorry. it may be time for a new computer though. anyways good luck!
One good thing is that this BSOD almost always points to a faulty or incompatible driver as opposed to faulty hardware. This means that you can possibly fix it just by updating the drivers for your devices.
I would start with your graphics drivers first. Use device manager to search Windows update first to see if it will automatically update your video drivers. If not, go to the manufacturers site to download updated drivers. If you have an Nvidia GPU go to http://www.nvidia.com/Download/index.aspx?lang=en-us to download their latest drivers.
If you have an ATI GPU go to http://support.amd.com/us/gpudownload/Pages/index.aspx to download their latest drivers.
The issue might be due to the corrupted system files.
