What is Blue Screen or Blue Screen of Death or BSOD and why does this error occur? Causes
One of the most frequent failures in Windows 10 is the blue screenor also known as “Blue Screen of Death” which when we get this warning, it means that something really serious has happened to our computer.
This message that appears to us with a blue background is not clear at all, however it appears with its proper encoding. We cannot define more, since this is random, and that is why it is totally different in each case.
The message always tells us that it exists a problem in windowswhich has been turned off in order to avoid major equipment damageand also indicates that the problem may be caused by a file, indicating in turn the name of that file.
This error is characterized by giving a blue background on the screen and the system seems to be unable to recover (many times, it really can’t recover). Showing a text in white letters, and a code indicating the possible cause of failurewhich is mostly not the cause.
Causes
Mostly this type of error that we can find is caused by software failuresbut are also caused by fatal errors in the part pc physicsbeing mainly the focus of the problem the RAM or the HDDwhich makes it impossible for windows to generate some kind of report.
One of the qualities of the death screen is that it completely blocks the system, which only allows you to exit it by manually restarting it, with the help of the shutdown button, or just disconnecting it from the power source.
Dust can be another cause of the problem, although it is not very frequent, in the same way it must be taken into account that it exists. It can also be some things that we will call garbage, or some strands of hair, or that some copper wires are in contact with the motherboard, all of which can be solved with simple maintenance.
Although the solution of install windows againthis will not always solve the problem of blue screen. So it is better to know its causes, before looking for a possible solution.

Well, when we are presented with this type of error, we can really think that our pc is dead and that there is no fix. Although in many cases it may be so, it is better to try to repair it, so you we leave some repair methods which will surely serve you.
From the registry editor
The registry editor It’s one of the methods What can we try first? This method is used if the computer allows us in a short period use it before the blue screen. Well registry repair can be a real solutionso this option should not be underestimated.
For repair registry will need the help of some specialized applications in this homework. One of the most used by professionals and experts in the area is the CCleaneralthough there is also Wise Registry Cleaner which is an excellent alternative.
if we make a misuse of records maybe let’s damage our system operational as this is a very important part of windowswhich if handled carefully can remove the errorsand otherwise cause more errors and some even irreversible.
Updating drivers
Another good alternative to solve the blue screen is to update all the hardware drivers, since the system probably tried to do a update and due to different problems, it was not possible to complete it, rather creating failures, which the only way to solve them is.
For be able to update all drivers or some of them you need to follow the steps below:
- First we must go to “Control Panel”, then we will see different options and we will only select the one that says “Device administrator”
- Then a window will appear whose name is “Device administrator” and shows a device list that are active in the system.
- There we select that device or hardware that we suppose is causing us problems (or the one that we have recently installed) we right click and select “Properties”.
We will see another box, which shows us the specifications of the device and we select the tab “Controller”, we click on “Update Driver” and follow the steps:
We wait for the selected driver to be updated and that’s it. We can do these same steps for each of the drivers that we consider need to be updated, since it will not only remove the famous blue screen of death it also improves the performance of it.
This is mostly the solution of almost all Windows problems. a restorationtake the computer to a previous state where it worked correctly, removing those applications that probably caused the failure in the system.
This method will take you to a point in time where the PC it worked correctlywhich we will select. all those apps software or updates that we have made after that point that the system shows us will be eliminated, since they are possible culprits of the error that the system presents. That it removes the software does not mean that it also removed our files, it saves them and keeps them intact.
Updating the whole system
Many times an update can cause us errors or system failuresbut this is because they are done incorrectly, although a correct update can eliminate any errors that it has.
In this case we are going to install all those updates that the OS has pending to install.
It should be noted that for this we must have a good Internet connection and follow the steps below:
- To start we must press the keys windows plus the letter Q (Win+Q) and then we write “Configure updates”, and we enter the option.
- We continue clicking on the option that says “Search for updates” and wait for the process to finish. This can take time since many times you have to wait for windows download the updates and then install them.
- When the process is complete, windows It will ask us to restart the system, if it does not we will have to do it in the same way, since it is for it to assume that there are new functions and features.
Following some of these methods that we left behind, we can eliminate once and for all the blue screen.
How do I optimize my computer to prevent the dreaded blue screen from appearing in Windows 10, 7 or 8?
Windows may present different glitches and errorswhich demonstrates in many ways but as we have already mentioned the blue screen is the most alarming. But do you know that this mistake can be avoided? To avoid it, you just have to Follow these tips that we leave below:
Keep your PC always updated
Although it sounds a bit contradictory to say that updating can cause errors, it also prevents or eliminates them. In fact, It’s not contradictory at all, since as we explained before, a correct update prevents failures, unlike an incorrect one. When we update our PCwe tell our windows what is new that exists and at what pace should it go.
Do not download dubious programs
Many of the dubious programs, Windows does not recognize them when we force to recognize them, and when executing them in the system causes the blue screen. So it is necessary to verify that the program can recognize our operating system or the version of Windows, and then check that it is not infectious or comes with defects that can infect our PC.
virus cleaning
A virus-free PC is a healthy machine, so you will always see that in order to avoid errors we must have a completely virus-free computer. So we must install a strong and reliable antivirus. In the case of Windows 10, it has an excellent antivirus called Windows Defenderwhich is increasingly improving the safety of its users, turning it into an impenetrable wall.
