Windows XP Blue Screen Of Death

Symptoms of the Blue Screen of Death are when your screen turns completely blue, and a white error message asks if you have installed any new hardware or software over the last few days. Sometimes, we can just turn off the computer, restart, then the error will go away. This happened to my Laptop. I had bumped it against the table and the blue screen appeared. Restarting the laptop in this case solved the problem.
If the blue screen persists then, its necessary to fix it. The blue screen of death does not go away on its own. It appears randomly based on the CPU calling functions from the RAM or registry. When the CPU calls certain functions from the RAM, or Random Access Memory, and the data rests in a faulty section of the RAM, this will cause the blue screen to appear. Another common incident is when we have Anti virus installed. I remember having Norton Anti virus on my computer and whenever the computer booted up and started to load the Norton Anti Virus program, the blue screen would appear. This is not because of the software but because the CPU is accessing data from the faulty locations within the RAM when loading the software.
Correcting Registry errors may help solve the Blue screen problem. This can be done by using registry cleaners. Registry cleaners will scan your computer for errors then if there are, you'll need to purchase the registry to fix them. Cleaning your registry is a good thing because it will allow you to boot your computer faster. Old software in the background will greatly eat into your computing power and slow the speed of your PC down.
If this does not solve the blue screen of death issue, then test your RAM. You'll need 2 sticks of ram for this. Remove 1 stick of ram and wait to see if the blue screen surfaces, do the same for the other.
Through process of elimination, you'll find the cause of the blue screen of death problem. That's how I solved my BSOD problem.
