Blue Screen Error Tutorial

A Blue Screen of Death (also known as a stop error, BSoD, bluescreen, or Blue Screen of Doom) is an error screen frequently displayed by certain operating systems, most notably Microsoft Windows Xp, after encountering a critical system error which can cause the system to shut down to prevent damage.

Bluescreens on NT-based Windows systems can be caused by poorly written device drivers or malfunctioning hardware. In the Win9x era, incompatible DLLs or bugs in the kernel of the operating system could also cause bluescreens. Sometimes, when the CPU is hit in any way, the computer may restart and show the BSoD.

Bluescreens can also be caused by physical faults such as faulty memory, mains power supply voltage variance or spikes in conjunction with or magnified by power supply unit voltage rating not matching the mains supply (such as a 220V PSU attached to a 240V mains outlet), the power requirements of the computer exceeding the capacity of the PSU, overheating of components, intermittent power to HDDs or other parts, faulty hardware, or hardware running beyond its specification limits. Bluescreens have been present in all Windows-based operating systems since Windows 3.1; earlier, OS/2 and MS-DOS suffered the Black Screen of Death, and early builds of Windows Vista the Red Screen of Death after a boot loader error.

The term "Blue Screen of Death" originated during OS/2 pre-release development activities at Lattice Inc, the makers of an early Windows and OS/2 C compiler. During porting of Lattice's other tools, developers encountered the stop screen when NULL pointers were dereferenced either in application code or when unexpectedly passed into system API calls. During reviews of progress and feedback to IBM Austin, the developers described the stop screen as the Blue Screen of Death to denote the screen and the finality of the experience.

delete C:\windows\system32\config\software
copy C:\windows\repair\software C:\windows\system32\config\software

Try to boot the system.
1.1 Zip the corrupted registry file .bak
2. If you don't have an XP/2000 CD with the Recovery Console on it, you can try removing your hard drive and connecting it your friend's system or installing another Windows system in a different directory. Then you can access the \Windows\System32\Config folder. Copy the files System, Security, Sam, Software and Default to a safe location. Then go to the \Windows\Repair folder.

Upgrading to Windows XP

I am going to discuss about Upgrading to XP is probably the simplest OS upgrade of all.
1. Insert the CD and Choose Install windows XP from the menu that appears.
2. The setup program detects that you already have an OS installed and presents you with a menu that says Upgrade Click Next to begin the upgrade.
3. Setup asks you to agree to the EULA, enter the product key, and download an updated version of the setup program (if necessary)
4. Setup copies several files over, reboots a couple of times, and continue like a standard Windows XP installation.
Once you have finished the installation, you must active it and also you must look at the error which occurs after Windows XP is already installed (like a standard Windows XP installation), but that’s about it. Windows XP setup makes most of the decisions about the upgrade for you so only a minimal amount of interaction is necessary. If you still face any problems in following the above mention step then go for remote microsoft help and support services.

Desktop Computing System

The first, and still the largest market in dollar terms, is desktop computing. Desktop computing spans from low-end systems that sell for under $1,000 to highend, heavily-configured workstations that may sell for over $10,000. Throughout this range in price and capability, the desktop market tends to be driven to optimize price-performance.

This combination of performance (measured primarily in terms of computer performance and graphics performance) and price of a system is what matters most to customers in this market and hence to computer designers.

As a result desktop systems often are where the newest, highest performance microprocessors appear, as well as where recently cost-reduced microprocessors.

and systems appear first (see section 1.4 on page 14 for a discussion of the issues affecting cost of computers).

Desktop computing also tends to be reasonably well characterized in terms of

applications and benchmarking, though the increasing use of web-centric, interactive

applications poses new challenges in performance evaluation. As we discuss

in Section 1.9 (Fallacies, Pitfalls), the PC portion of the desktop space seems

recently to have become focused on clock rate as the direct measure of performance,

and this focus can lead to poor decisions by consumers as well as by designers

who respond to this predilection that is why it is better to find out the solution to optimum computer performance.

I want to share my experience with computer help and providing solution for computer troubleshooting tips
