Windows, like macOS and Linux, and OpenVMS bug checks, throws a stop error known as the "blue screen of death." Most of the time, this stop error prevents you from progressing past the error screen, interfering with your regular work activities.   All critical processes, including networks, platforms, and applications, are also halted by the error. Any unsaved data is lost at this point, and troubleshooting is unavoidable. Continue reading to learn how to quickly and efficiently navigate a blue screen of death.

What is the blue screen of death?[ps2id id='What is the blue screen of death?' target=''/]

A blue screen of death (BSoD) indicates that Windows 10 has detected a fatal system error and must be shut down immediately to prevent the operating system from being damaged. This procedure results in a blue screen with a sad emoji and a cryptic message that reads, "Your computer encountered a problem and must be restarted. We're just gathering error information before restarting for you."       Windows 10 also displays a generic error code in addition to this message. Although the code does not provide information about the cause or a potential solution, it does provide a high-level understanding of the problem.

To date, Microsoft has acknowledged and listed hundreds of stop error codes, ranging from the benign VIDEO_TDR_TIMEOUT_DETECTED to the dire CRITICAL_PROCESS_DIED.

Common blue screen error messages[ps2id id='Common blue screen error messages' target=''/]

Here are some frequently occurring stop error codes:

• SYSTEM_THREAD_EXCEPTION_NOT_HANDLED
• IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUALv
• PAGE_FAULT_IN_NONPAGED_AREA
• SYSTEM_SERVICE_EXCEPTION
• BAD_SYSTEM_CONFIG_INFO

In addition to the generic code, users may also encounter a hexadecimal format of the stop error. For a trained eye, the code parameters can reveal extra details about the problem, which they can use to research a fix. To non-IT professionals and basic users, though, the hexadecimal code can be hard to understand and of little use.

What causes the blue screen of death?[ps2id id='What causes the blue screen of death?' target=''/]

A host of software and hardware related issues can trigger a blue screen error, including:

• Insufficient space in system disk
• Faulty device drivers
