Blue Screen of Death (BSoD)

In order to resolve a Blue Screen of Death (BSoD), it is generally recommended that you can resolve a BSoD. BSoDs can be caused by faulty or poorly written device drivers or malfunctioning hardware, such as faulty memory, power supply issues, overheating of components, or hardware running beyond its specification limits. In the era, incompatible DLLs or bugs in the operating system kernel could also cause BSoDs. 

In addition, each BSoD (Blue Screen of Death) with a error name and error code includes information or recommend user action to resolve the problem. For example, a STOP 0x0000008E KERNEL_MODE_EXEPTION_NOT_HANDLED can occur if you try to insert a DVD that is incompatible with Windows Vista. 

Eventually, a STOP message may also occur in Windows 7 or Windows XP. Therefore, Windows 8 uses the new BSoD. If a STOP message occurs, the computer will automatically restart. A dump file is also created after the STOP message is displayed.  Here are some things to resolve the problem:

• If you are using Windows XP, Windows Vista, or Windows 7, on the Windows Error Recovery screen, use the arrow keys to highlight the Safe Mode option, and then press Enter. (If you are using Windows 8, after the computer is restarted, use the number keys to select a Safe Mode option.)

• Disable BIOS memory options such as caching or shadowing.

Or other things. 

A BSoD may have white text saying that "Windows has been shut down to prevent damage to your computer." Using System Restore may resolve the issue. If not, there might be a startup problem. 

• On the Windows Error Recovery screen, select Launch Startup Repair. If it doesn't resolve the problem, select Start Windows normally. 

If the computer still crashes with a STOP message after the problem is resolved, it could be a corrupted file or an incompatible program. You will need to uninstall the incompatible program or delete the corrupted file. If not, use Safe Mode.
