Blue Screen Problems—How to Prevent Blue Screen Problems in Advance
Dec 29th
Have you ever encountered that your computer is freezing up even sometimes falls into blue screen? This must be the last thing of computer problems for all the users to see. As a matter of fact, the best methods to fix blue screen problem is to prevent it in advance rather than figure it out when it happens.
This is what I want to share with you in this article—how to prevent blue screen problems in advance. Here are some tips to do that based on my own experience.
1. You should back up importance registry files manually at proper intervals. In this way, computer will not be in a mess if system goes wrong but there are not alternative backup files at hand.
2. For common users, if computer is running normally, it is unnecessary to upgrade graphic card and BIOS and driver programs of main board. You may not know that too much upgrading can harm system performance as well.
3. You should avoid closing down computer abnormally in order to lessen the number of lost files, such as Dynamic Library Links files (DLL) which is quite important for smooth computer running. You should be patient enough to wait for the shutting down of your computer completely.
4. And you had better not install useless software as possible as you can. If you are not skillful enough, you should not uninstall or delete programs manually so as to reduce the number of illegal alternative files.
5. To be honestly, if you do not have large RAM and administrative programs, it is safe for you not to run large programs at the same time. What is more, if you find system is creaking when listening to MP3, the problems are caused likely by low memory.
6. You should check and optimize system files regularly. You can click “
Start”—“All Programs”—“Accessories”—“Command Prompt” and then type “sfc” so as to check lost files and proofread versions. Besides, you can clear up disk and defragment disk regularly as well. It is also a good method to prevent blue screen problems by freeing up more disk space.
Since blue screen is really a disaster for all the users, you should learn to prevent such accident in advance rather than to fix blue screen problem hastily.
Blue Screen Problems—How to Prevent Blue Screen Problems Caused by Low System Resource
Dec 25th
Have you ever encountered blue screen problems? When you are using computer smoothly, blue screen comes up abruptly. It is really bothering and even head ache for many users. Sometimes it is OK to restart computer but it does not work under some circumstances.
Like any other malfunction, blue screen can be divided into aspects: hardware and software. Now, I would like to introduce some methods to fix them in the regard of software and low system resource in particular.
In some cases, blue screen is caused by exhausted system resource. When computer is running a relatively large task or restoring or copying certain files, it is possible to lead to blue screen. Such accident is too abrupt for users to face it. This kind of blue screen is mainly due to insufficient resource of system, users and GDI.
In order to fix this problem, you need to open the “System Information” by clicking “Start” > “All Programs” > “Accessories” > “System Tools” > “System Information” to see how many system resources are left. If the rest resource mentioned above is below fifty percent or less, it is likely to appear the problems such as error operation, blue screen and computer freezing up.
Therefore, you should try every method to reduce the expense of computer resource. You can reduce the number of loading programs and avoid running large programs at the same time. The so-called large programs refer to graphic, vocal and video software. For example, it is unnecessary to load task program, voice indictor, DOS driver program of graphic card and so forth.
You can free up disk space as well as save it.
There are many ways to free up disk space. First of all, free up space by deleting some temporary and swap files and cookies in the hard disk and Internet Explorer. And then, defragment your hard disk. Since too many fragments cram into the hard disk, it can expense much disk space without question.
To be honestly, blue screen is caused by various problems from hardware and software mainly, you should be quite careful to use you computer and do daily maintenance regularly so as to prevent blue screen problems.
Blue Screen—How to Fix Blue Screen Errors Step by Step
Dec 24th
It is really troublesome for every user that computer falls into blue screen. Although various reasons can result in blue screen, it should mainly blame for the errors in driver programs, hardware or system compatibility, even for certain bugs in the applications. Well, you can learn First of all, you should use anti-virus software to check system and then you can fix the problem as follows:
First is to restart system.
When the system appears blue alert windows, you need to start up system. Under most circumstance, computer can go back to normal track by restarting computer. Normally, you can not start it by press “Ctrl + Alt + Del” but just press reposition button or turn off electric power to start up computer again.
After entering into system, you can check the error as follows:
1. Click “Start” > “Administrative Tools” and double-click “Event Viewer”,
2. In the “Event Viewer”, you can check the “Error Records” in the “Application” and “System” respectively.
3. Click the item and then you can check the detail of the failed startup service.
Or, you can type “eventvwr.msc” in the dialog box by clicking “Start” > “Run” and then you can enter into “Event Viewer” as well.
Second is to restore the “Last Known Good Configuration (your most recent settings that worked)”.
In fact, the blue alter can not bother you without specific reasons. Normally, it is caused by updating driver programs or installing certain software. Sometimes users delete some very important system files that can lead to blue screen probably. At this moment, you can restart the system and press “F8” quickly to choose “Last Known Good Configuration”.
By doing this, system can restore efficient information in the registry in the item of “HKEY/LOCAL/MACHINE/System/Current Control Set”. However, it is unable to fix errors caused by broken files or driver program problems.
Or you can choose to press “F8” and choose “Safe Mode” to see whether system can enter into it normally. If so, you have to be aware that problems are likely caused by driver programs or system service errors.
Third step is to see about the wrong code.
If you want to know the specific information of wrong code, you can look them up in the Microsoft official website. Do remember the code, especially the one of “0×0000001E”. In the website, you can find the details of problems.
In conclusion, if you have encountered blue screen problem, you should fix them step by step by using the methods mentioned above. But if they can not work well, it is a must to check your hardware.
Protect Your Computer—Facts about Hard Disk Problems
Dec 3rd
Although low hard disk quality can lead to bad tracks, you should be aware that the most problems are produced by being used improperly. So in order to protect your hard disk as well as computer, I would like to tell you the facts about hard disk problems and bad tracks in particular.
It can categorize into two kinds: logical and physical bad tracks. Put in simple way, logical one is produced by using certain software or disk improperly while physical bad track is due to problem of magnetic media of hard disk itself. As a matter of fact, to fix the former is much easier to fix than the latter one.
If you find your hard disk is troubled with following problems, it is necessity for you to check whether there is bad track in the disks.
As a matter of fact, your system is not affected by any virus but cannot startup normally and come up with some prompts like “Sector not found” or “General error in reading drive C”. Every time you start up system, it will run Scan disk program to scan disk errors. The normal running sound has changed into weird creaking. Or when formatting hard disk, it stops at certain schedule and then report errors that it cannot finish the whole task. If you perform “FDISK” to hard disk, it repeats at certain schedule. What is worse, the computer might fall into blue screen without any wrong operation.
How to fix bad tracks?
As it is extremely rigorous requirement for interior working environment in the hard disk, any tiny dust can result in irreversible damages. Therefore, if there is any bad track in the disk, you cannot fix the problems by taking apart the disks but can turn to other specific tools to help you so as to minimize the loss. After confirming the bad tracks in the disks, you are not still sure whether they belong to logical or physical. So, you have to fix disk errors from simple to complex means. The common logical problems can be solved by using Windows program or others. But as for physical ones, you need further repair to guarantee the safety of hard disk data and normal usage.
Shield physical bad tracks
If bad track still exits after low-level formatting, it is no doubt that there are physical bad tracks on it. Such problem is produced usually by furious impinge or abrupt power-off during using hard disk and disk head may likely collide with disk when it is tail-wagging. Even though you use disk checking program to mark those bad tracks so as to forbid operating system visiting this sector, the physical ones can extend after a period of time. That is to say, although you have marked bad ones, hard disk is likely to visit the sectors closed to bad tracks which can deteriorate the situation. In order to avoid such problem, you had better shield bad tracks into an unused partition.
By doing the above steps, you can fix logical bad tracks or shield bad tracks into hidden partition so as to ensure the stability of system running and safety of data files. In this way, you can refresh hard disks.
Protect Your Computer—the Main Causes of Blue Screen and How to Solve Them Correctly
Nov 27th
During using computer, if such accident happens, it is really a disaster for those beginners. But, do not worry. If you have learned the radical causes of blue screen, it may not be a problem for you any more. This is what I want to introduce to you in this article.
In fact, blue screen problem is mainly connected with memory capability, CPU frequency, CD-ROM, hard disk fragments and so forth. Since many reasons account for computer blue screen, I would like to explain some of them from the aspect of hardware. That is how to solve blue screen caused by hardware problems.
The low virtual memory leads to algorithm errors of system multitask.
Virtual memory is a special method that is designed for solving insufficient system resource in the Windows systems. Normally, it requires remain space in the hard disk is two to three times than that of physical memory. However, some computer fans would like to cram excessive stuff into their hard disks in order to make full use of them and turn a blind eye to the rigorous requirement of Windows that there should be enough disk space to support virtual memory. Therefore, due to low hard disk space, virtual memory can not run correctly and is troubled with algorithm errors which result in blue screen probably.
Well, it is rather easy to deal with such problem. You are supposed to delete the temporary and swap files produced by system and not to put too many files into hard disk so as to free up disk space. Or you can configure virtual memory manually. You can change the default address of virtual memory to other logical disks. In this way, computer can shun blue screen caused by insufficient virtual memory.
There is too small available disk space or too many fragments.
Generally speaking, the available space in the hard disk should be above of certain value, since different systems require values differently. Otherwise, the blue screen problem is likely linked to the size of available space. In addition, if there are too many fragments in the disk, it can lead to blue screen easily. Therefore, it is necessary to defragment disk at proper intervals.
You can turn to Windows defragmenting program, of course. But, if you want to speed up defragmentation and protect hard disk as well, I recommend you to use special defragmenting software called “Advanced Defrag”. You will satisfy with this program for sure.
CD-ROM is opened abnormally when reading disk.
Blue screen happens when the CD-ROM is reading the disk and is being operated mistakenly. But, such problem has little influence on system running. What you need to do is to use CD or press ESC. And everything is OK.
All in all, since blue screen can resulted from many reasons, you should protect your computer in all-round way and improve computer knowledge as much as you can.
