The workarounds for this BSOD include checking your hard drive for bad sectors, checking drivers for corrupt/outdated files, and checking your hardware physically. We will go through the solutions one by one starting with the easiest ones first. Take a look. Note: If you are unable to access your computer because of the error condition coming again and again, try launching it in safe mode and follow the solutions from there.
Solution 1: Checking for Driver issues
According to extensive user surveys and responses, we came to the conclusion that most of the time, this BSOD occurs when you have incorrect drivers installed against your hardware in your computer. These drivers include graphic, hard drive, and display drivers. Now there are two options. Either you can update the driver automatically (windows update) or you can update them manually by first navigating to the manufacturer’s website and downloading the latest driver to an accessible location according to your operating system type.
Restart your computer and check if this solves the problem. Here it is advised that you update all the drivers and if the latest ones don’t work for you, you can always try installing an older driver and see if they do the trick. If you still get an error, you can try using the driver verifier to check for any discrepancies in the driver which you are not noticing yourself.
Note: There was particular emphasis on bad drivers of the hard drives. Make sure that the drivers are updated to the latest build and also make sure that your Windows has the latest updates installed.
Solution 2: Clean-booting your computer
Another workaround to solve the error code is to try Clean Booting. This boot allows your PC to turn on with a minimal set of drivers and programs. Only the essential ones are enabled while all the other services are disabled. If the error doesn’t occur in this mode, you should enable the processes back on only with small chunks and check if the error returns. If it doesn’t, you can turn on another chunk and check. This way you will be able to diagnose which process is causing the problem.
Note: Don’t forget to disable your antivirus software as well. They are known to cause problems.
Solution 3: Checking hardware physically
If both the above methods don’t work, you should check your hardware components physically. This solution might be vague but we cannot point to one specific hardware as all computer’s configuration is different. What you are looking for are cables connecting the hard drive or the hard drive itself. Make sure all the components are installed correctly with the ‘click’ sound whenever you insert the RAM. Check for the power supply of all modules and also make sure that your hard drive is in a working state. Overall, make sure that all your hardware components are working and are not improperly connected. In addition to the above solutions, you can also try:
Running a System File Checker (SFC) to check for any bad files present.Make sure that you are running the latest version of Windows on your computer.Also, perform a memory check on your RAM and check for bad sectors on your hard drive.If all the above methods fail, feel free to install a clean version of Windows after backing up your data.
