BSOD, Know The Errors On Your Computer

Anyone would be surprised when the computer monitor suddenly turns into blue. This condition is known as BSOD (Blue Screen Of Death). For dummies, it certainly would make them assume that their computer was broken.but do not worry, because technically, BSOD serves as a warning that there is something that causes the PC (operating system) crashes. The problem is that a warning is displayed in the form of text and code numbers which is hard to be understood. In fact, to figure out the code which is displayed on the screen BSOD is quite easy, just type the code via google, the problems and solutions will be displayed. BSOD code is a thing you should know so that you know what you can do next.

The problem is that the BSOD code itself usually only lasts for a few seconds, so we do not have a chance to record it. To cope this problem we need BluScreenView Application that will help us easily to know what actually the error is.

When BSOD happens, Windows will create a file (although often we do not realize) that reported the existence of error and saved in the directory c: \ WINDOWS \ Minidump. In that directory there is a crash dump file with the extension of DMP. The message on the file actually appears at the time when the BSOD occurs. But because there is a countdown timer that run fast, sometimes it is difficult to understand the intent of the message itself. Here, BlueScreenView helps you to capture the message of the BSOD.

The followings are the way to use of BlueScreenView:

To check the BSOD code, just run the application and BlueScreenView window will be displayed. In Dump files column, it displays a list of files DMP. There is also other information such as Crash Time column that displays the time when the BSOD appears.

What is needed is the information in the column of Bug Check String and Bug Check Code for it is displaying the information on the cause of BSOD. Double-click one of the DMP file, the BSOD screen that we usually encounter is displayed in the window below. What we need to pay attention is the Bug Check String and the Bug Check Code on the BSOD screen.

Some BSOD Codes You Should Know The Meaning

IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL (0x0000000A)

This code is due to the possibility that the RAM or RAM slots on the motherboard is damaged

PAGE_FAULT_IN_NONPAGED_AREA

The code appears due to the damage of hardwares, including RAM, video card memory, or memory in the processor (L2 cache)

NECESSIBLE_BOOT_DEVICE

It is caused due to an error in the configuration jumper on the hard drive, boot sector virus, the wrong IDE controller driver, or chipset driver error.

VIDEO_DRIVER_INIT_FAILURE

Error occurs on the incomplete VGA card driver installation, restart during installation or can also occurs because of errors in the installation of the driver.
