What is a Blue Screen Of Death
The now infamous Blue Screen of Death (BSoD) or more properly the 'Windows stop message' has been around since early Windows 3.1.
There are many causes for this error: Bad DLL's, incorrect device drivers, bad memory, damaged registrys etc. It usually occurs when Windows detects a problem or error from which it cannot recover.
The operating system halts and diagnostic information is displayed on a blue screen and detailed information is collected and stored in a file called a minidump. This error has become less predominant with modern computers. Receiving such an error these days, is much more serious than it used to be.
At DTec Computers we have a vast experience dealing with BSoD errors and can quickly pin point the cause, and come up with a solution to rectify the problem.
