A blue screen of death

If you get a blue screen of death, what would you do?

Blue screen of death happens once in the blue moon, however, it's been years since I last had a real deal But I had them and each error is always different. Most people just restart and think nothing of it, I mean those that do not understand it.

1. If it happens then I read what the error is or try and find out why it crashed and whatnot.
2. Once I have more of an idea as to why I had the blue screen of death with the evil laugh then I try to troubleshoot and fix it

Reinstalling the OS is not always the case here, since it can be Hardware also. RAther fix blue screen rather than leaving it to do it over and over.

I got those in the past on my first laptop nearly 16 years ago. It was a from a bad local computer business in town that went out of business years ago. The reason why it was crap was because the laptop was a factory recall. It might have been a new computer but it was a piece of crap from day one.

It had Windows XP. It was getting the screen because the hard drive was bad. Then 2 years later the mother board went bad. I was taking it in and out of computer repair stores every few weeks because it'd crash. One of the guys I took it too said it'd be cheaper for my to just buy a whole new computer at Wal-Mart or from him. He claimed I wouldn't have near the issues that mine was having. I ended up smashing the laptop and throwing it out.

None of the laptops I've bought from Wal-Mart have had issues. I've had 2 from there and they work great.

Look up the error code on my phone and fix the error problem.

See if its fixable and if a total waste make plans to get a new one.

I say there is no need to get a new system from having a blue screen LOL

Glad i won't be getting blue screen anymore but Black more. If i mess up the settings in Linux i end up in OS not booting.

I still have no idea how I caused the issues but we've had the blue screen of death twice with our first ever laptop. Back then, I was young and none of my other family members were great with computers so we always had to get a family friend to sort it out for us.

Honestly? I'd probably feel nostalgic for a few seconds .

But then, I'd just feel irritated if I couldn't solve it within a matter of minutes. But at least I'd have my phone, so I wouldn't be completely disconnected.

Since replacing a faulty motherboard a couple years ago, my PC has been very stable. Yay!

Did you replace it on your own? Nice!

I'm not very good and taking apart a desktop out of fear that I might mess it up and I've never ordered parts and built my own desktop. I've known a few guys that built gaming computers years ago.

Yup, I've been building/upgrading PCs since mid 2005. The last upgrade I did was a new motherboard. Then 2 SSDs, and finally 32GB ram!
