Hello, Guys Welcome again to EPCS (Every PC Solution). In Today's topic, we will discuss some causes of blue screen errors in your computer. Here you will know what causes your computer to give a blue screen of death so let's get started.
What Cause Your Computer(PC) To Give BSOD?
Upgrading hardware
You might have upgraded your hardware recently like you might have installed a new ram or processor it might even include your motherboard which is causing your PC to crash or giving a blue screen of death.
Solution
- if you installed a new ram then place it properly in the port loose connection most likely cause the issue
- If you have installed a new graphics card or replaced it with a new one then boot windows into safe mode and uninstall the old graphics driver which is Intel or AMD most probably using a device manager or control panel or using a third party software like DDU(display driver uninstaller)
- if you installed a new processor then uninstall the old Chipset driver and installed the driver of the newly installed processor but mostly chipset drivers cause windows to cause blue screen in windows 10 so I would recommend not install any chipset driver if that was the case
Faulty RAM
The common issue of getting a blue screen error includes faulty RAM. If your PC getting a blue screen frequently while using your computer then most likely your RAM is faulty.
Solution
Try to clean your ram most likely your ram has dust which causes you to crash your PC. If that was the problem then I recommend you replace your ram with a new stick.
Issue With Hard Disk
If your hard drive is not working properly or dying it gives the error of blue screen of death so check if your hard drive health is going down using software called hard disk sentinel if it decreases to even at 99% out of 100 then that's the problem because I personally faced this
Solution
what I recommend you is to backup all your data in sphere hard drive and do a clean format it and your problem is resolved
Graphics Card
If you have an external graphics card installed on your computer then most of the time it causes a problem in your PC
Solution
- First of all, go to device manager and click on display adapters and disable your graphics driver and then restart your computer and see if it give the blue screen again
- If your PC starts working normally then install the latest driver and check again if it doing again then clean up your graphics card and PCI express slot
- If disabling your graphics card driver does not help then uninstall the driver and then remove your GPU and then check if it starts working normally if yes then clean and see if it work.still no luck? might be your GPU is faulty.
