Software Causes of Windows Blue screen Error<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
    \n
  1. New drivers:<\/strong> Recently installed programs or drivers precede a BSOD and they directly or indirectly caused the STOP code. If you have updated the drivers, you can roll back the driver to an earlier version that worked well.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  2. Old Drivers or Programs:<\/strong> Reinstalling device drivers or program files can troubleshoot this BSOD issue. Many at times,  the old or incompatible program files or device drivers might be the reason behind BSOD STOP errors.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  3. Corrupt system files: <\/strong>Sometimes, even Microsoft gets it wrong and pushes updates which inadvertently causes the system to crash. And hence results in the blue screen of death in Windows.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  4. Viruses and Malware:<\/strong> Just scan the system thoroughly to get rid of viruses or malware. They can corrupt the system files or the drivers thereby causing a BSOD. <\/li>\n\n\n\n

    2. Small storage space:<\/strong> During installation or upgrading to a new operating system, a lack of enough storage space can lead to BSOD. Make sure that you have enough space to accommodate an operating system.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    3. Unnecessary hardware peripherals:<\/strong> Hardware peripherals like flash drives, SD cards, hard drives, secondary monitors, printers, HDMI cables, smartphones, e.t.c can interfere with the installation of an OS.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    4. Loose hardware or cables: <\/strong>Dismounted hard drives, RAM chips, and loose cables can result in a STOP code. It will be a safe bet to unplug and then reseat all components to avoid Blue screens.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    5. Hardware Failure<\/a>: <\/strong>The hardware might be reaching the end of life and sending the Blue Screen of Death hints. At first, you need to backup all your files. Just replace this hardware, it\u2019s firmware or the entire computer if possible.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n
