A blue screen of death (BSoD) displays a Windows STOP error
STOP error is one that causes Windows to halt
STOP errors can occur when Windows loads or while it is running
Most BSoDsare caused by faulty hardware or hardware drivers
Troubleshooting Steps
Use System Restore or (if you can boot to Safe Mode) driver rollback, or update rollback to restore the system to a working state
Remove a recently added hardware device, or uninstall a recently installed program
Check seating of hardware components and cables
Run hardware diagnostics, chkdsk, and scan for malware
Check fans and chassis vents for dust and clean if necessary
Make a note of the stop error code (Stop: 0x0…), and search the Microsoft Knowledge Base (support.microsoft.com/search) for known fixes and troubleshooting tips
if auto-restarts during BSoD, disable auto-restart by
Advanced Options menu > Disable automatic restarts
or Advanced System Properties > Startup and Recovery Settings
