How to Fix a Blue Screen of Death on Windows 10 / 11

[@ProTechShow]

If you're a *CrowdStrike* customer watching this on or around 19th July 2024, there is a massive outage affecting customers globally. The following is reported to fix it: 1. Boot Windows into Safe Mode, the Windows Recovery Environment [or from a USB drive e.g. Linux] 2. Navigate to the C:\Windows\System32\drivers\CrowdStrike directory 3. Locate the file matching "C-00000291*.sys", and delete it 4. Boot the host normally If you use BitLocker you will need to have the recovery key handy

[@PointFear]

woah, amazing 👍👍👍

[@Vision_HaZe]

So this outage could be the reason that my computer has the BSOD?

[@ProTechShow]

If you're a CrowdStrike customer, probably. If you don't use CrowdStrike it won't affect you. CrowdStrike isn't something a regular home user would have installed - it would be installed by a company's IT department.

Incredibly helpful! So clear and concise to understand. My girlfriend unfortunately did a recent windows update and it went haywire. Next thing you know, it goes into a boot loop and never goes to the advanced recovery options page and was unable to start in safe mode. Just kept getting the blue screen of death screen message. Was able to boot into the advanced recovery options by booting from a USB with the Windows 11 media creation tool from the link you provided and was able to restore it to the period before the problematic update. Worked like a charm! Thanks so much!

[@darinb.3273]

​@@ProTechShowHello ProTech if you really like challenges I have a doozy for ya. I can give an extremely detailed list of everything that has led to the issue. In brief in this post. 1. Lighting took out the original motherboard. 2. Hard drives, processor, okay, new memory. 3. Replaced it with a completely different motherboard. Old was an ECS or ESC. New old stock is a Gigabyte that supports the old processor it POSTS . 4. Dual boot and Win XP works Win 10 won't boot normally or in to safe mode. 5. It was MBR (Legacy) boot without AHCI setup on the old motherboard the new motherboard has the feature, however it is not set to use it in BIOS. 6. I didn't do the following on purpose. As I mentioned earlier it is dual boot Win XP and Win 10. Here is what I didn't intend Win XP is on one hard drive and Win 10 on the 2nd hard drive. (Two total in the system). Each drive has 2 partitions each drive is a terabyte in size. Four partitions as equal as I could make them. 7. Tried BCDEDIT repairing no avail. Tried my best to inject the drivers that support the new motherboard again to no avail. It is either a bootloader issue or a missing driver that fails to load at boot time. The error I get is "inaccessible boot device". Any suggestions would be highly and hugely appreciated. My apologies for such a long post and Thank You in advance for (possibly 😆) reading it.

One common pattern was after everyclean installation of Windows the crashes will only start when i installed applications either from the Microsoft store or common applications ive used before with older versions of Windows 10. Most of my applications were 3D CAD and modelling as well as Steam. Finally realized the issue was with incompatible GPU drivers. Whenever i did a clean installation of Windows 10 it would look for display drivers and install the Nvidia app. I assumed the correct drivers were installed. This was the problem. Apps were freezing or crashing to the BSOD and i didnt know what was going on. I tried SFC, DISM, restore points, recovery drives, System Repair Chkdsk. Was going no were. Windows would get so unstable until you cant even boot in and have no option but to do another clean install. So whenever you clean install windows also go to Nvidia and download the appropriate GPU drivers before installing your applications.

[@hobsonbeeman7529]

This was a great guide on how to delve deeper into BSOD errors and I didn’t have to brush up on my Hindi or constantly replay trying to understand what they said which amps up an already frustrating situation. I’m working on a BSOD issue related to an event called Bugcheck, which could possibly be related to a physical memory issue or Win trying to write to freed memory. Still hot on trail, but this video has provided me with some debug tools to look at it closer…many thanks!

A bluescreen crash will typically reboot back into Windows automatically once it's saved a memory dump. In the event the bluescreen occurs during the start-up process there's a section in the video with things you can try if Windows wont start. Finally, you can grab the dump file from the faulty device and run the analysis on another computer - it doesn't have to be the same one.

[@Lith955]

How do you return it to stock settings because I think I did over clock mine which is why

[@ProTechShow]

There should be an option somewhere in your BIOS to restore default settings. If you're unsure what has been changed I'd recommend making a manual note of current settings just in case you need to change something back later (resetting might disable secure boot, change your drive settings, etc. and prevent the computer booting). It's also worth checking if BitLocker is enabled and ensure you have a backup of the recovery key if it is, first. Resetting the BIOS will send you to the recovery screen if BitLocker is enabled. You can see more about it at this video: kzbin.info/www/bejne/aJ6plqKfet2YjpI

[@ProTechShow]

If it's a BSoD there should be a bugcheck event. Check your disk isn't full, as that could prevent it writing to the log. Also make sure you're checking the right time range in the log and it hasn't cycled through and overwritten the logs from when it crashed - that can happen if you leave it too long. It will only create the log entry if it's a Blue Screen of Death error. Other errors may create different log entries.

[@ProTechShow]

Volmgr is related to your storage. It could indicate a failing hard drive, or if you have a non-standard storage setup (RAID, or an SSD cache paired with a mechanical drive e.g. Intel RST) it could be a bug in that driver. Make sure you have a backup of anything important. If it's a failing drive you could lose any data on it.

[@Kryptixonyoutube]

@@ProTechShow thanks for responding. I have an m.2 ssd what should I check for that??

[@ProTechShow]

Most SSD manufacturers will have diagnostic tools you can download to check the health of your drive. Check their website. You should also check if there's a firmware update available while you're there, but get a backup before installing it - if they go wrong you can lose data. Check for any storage-related drivers on your computer and update them to the latest version. Usually, your motherboard manufacturer will have them; although sometimes you can get newer versions direct from the source (e.g. Intel, AMD).

Im not computer savvy but I do have some questions if they make sense. My Dell XPS 8910 cant boot into safe mode. Constant blue screen no matter what I press. I have not tried to factory reset my HDD as I have too stuff I can't risk losing. I am just curious if I buy a new HDD and install windows on there, could that be a good turnaround from resetting the HDD?

[@ProTechShow]

You could do that and copy files from the old drive, but if you haven't determined the root cause there's no guarantee it will fix anything.

[@EXCELXAARUNZ]

@@ProTechShow Just installed a new HDD and downloaded a new windows update via USB and seems to be working fine now! Thanks for your help!

[@AtomicBomb1011]

So I did the windows media usb trick, typed in /f didn’t work, typed /r didn’t crash but didn’t work. Does that mean it is my hard drive and how do try that USB live trick. Pls help me. Thank you.

[@Nakia11798]

This is 2 years later, but pretty sure you just didn't do it right at the time. I've made that mistake myself.

[@sieconnor677]

Tried the crash thing 3 then 4 times - still won`t boot. Just goes back to BSOD and says it will restart for me but switches the computer off instead. 2 days now - no joy. Dell computer £1400 and only 2 months old.

All great up until WinDbg reported both the module and image names as Unknown. It also said, "Memory manager detected 1 instance(s) of corrupted pagefile page(s) while performing in-page operations." So maybe a memory problem. Then again, Event Viewer reported "Qualcomm QCA61x4A 802.11ac Wireless Adapter : The version number is incorrect for this driver." But the driver is up to date. I still have no idea why my system crashes at least once or twice every week. I've had the same problem before & after my power supply failed and was replaced by the Geek Squad at Best Buy. Could the failing power supply have damaged another component like the wi-fi card or a memory module?

My wife was getting a blue screen every ten minutes on Windows 11. I found your video, but before that we disabled part of her Avast which was running simultaneously with another antivirus software. It did not fix it then but the next day, no more blue screens. I think that was causing the problem. But I learned alot from your video for future reference.

[@mehaleye2772]

My pc turns on and off repeatedly...please what should I do

[@vStradas]

I am having that same problem, and I don't know what to do either, other than it being a possible hardware problem..

[@TheAbyssalEnderling]

Got a bluescreen earlier. I was rendering an animation in Blender and after rendering for a bit and it suddenly showed up. After restarting, I noticed an NVIDIA graphics driver update was available. I updated it. Are they correlated? Rendered a different animation with no issues afterwards.

[@Integraudio]

0. Let's assume you have created restore point 1. Open CMD in the Blue screen 2. Type - Notepad and hit open 3. Go to - Windows/System32/Config 4. rename software to software.001 5. rename system to system.001 (you need to hit F5 to see the change in renaming a file) 6. Close the notepad 7. Write Exit in CMD 8. Try to restore PC with one of your earlier restore points. If doesn't work, try to restart PC

[@ZaheerAbbas-zp2hi]

@Pro Tech Show, PLease help, I tries all of this, I've a blue screen error " your PC ran into the problem" 1- My registry files are not available for rename. 2- I tried Scan now but it says "Windows Resource Protection could not perform the requested operations" 3- I tried to reset the PC too, but it says " There was a problem resetting your PC, No changes were made" while local reinstall windows from Flash drive. I've gone through from various articles and videos but couldn't found the solution, Please help if you can.

[@agaXM]

Does blue screen destroy your laptop? Because I'm scared of it i keeps getting it everyday now

[@ProTechShow]

The blue screen doesn't do anything to your laptop - it's just a message, to tell you there's a problem. It's most commonly caused by a software bug, but it can also be cause by failing hardware. The blue screen won't cause that failure, though. If it's failing, it was failing anyway.

[@Nakia11798]

Sfc scan now has actually worked for me! My old laptop was a wreck, but that kept it running an extra little while. It still runs, technically, but is just slow from being ancient.

[@Tizonwar8]

For some really strange reason, when i pulled both my rams and plug them back in, it fixed the issue... the blue screen of death got so bad that even using the usb with windows 11 ISO in it cannot get to the screen where you showed it would go, at that point i was sure it was hardware issue. This is a new pc that i built 2 days ago. I already brought it back to the vendor to check on it as it would crash during windows installation. They already replaced my ram sticks under warranty, and now it crashed again, so i was kind of sure the rams sticks are playing up again.

[@Unibot47]

Apparently the cause of mine is registry error. Apparently Windows 11 doesn't have the option to restore your registry. Funny, pc was working fine, stepped out for a quick errand, came back, and it was like this. This is on an IBUYPOWER prebuilt, and it's been nothing but problems. I tried literally every option here, as well as reinstalling Windows from a flash drive, and it won't even let me do that. I don't understand.

[@dr.danielhrubinsky7753]

Sir, where can I find information to repair a Huawei 2017 laptop with the blue screen but not reading the c:/ drive but only an X:/ drive? I know there are precise steps to follow with CMD but I need help to find this steps. Thank you for your help. BTW it all begin with a Windows 11pro update. Since I can’t access drive C:/ in any way I’m asking for your help.

[@kashaftahir9503]

All is good but how do I do all of this when I can't bypass this blue screen? 2:36

[@ProTechShow]

There's a section in the video with things you can try if Windows won't start - 13:31 onwards. You can also grab the dump file and run the analysis on a different computer. If you're familiar with the command line you can use the Windows boot media to do this. If not, you can use a Linux live USB (you may need to Google it, but it's pretty straightforward - just don't actually install to your hard drive).

[@CriticoGS-xi9py]

I discovered something watching your tutorial and it's how to find where windows is, which you said to type in Command Prompt "bcdedit" to find out where it is, I checked and it's on D: so, I followed what you said and to check the disk "chkdsk D: /f" I also tried /r and both say something like "batch no found" ..... what should I do.... I'm on the repair loop, can't log on, have tried pretty much everything, I even inserted a recovery disk (cd) I have with Windows 7 since it's the original of the laptop, but, I upgraded to 10 and not even a month later, this happens..... anyway to help?

[@helmutnestler2850]

Thank you very much Andrew for your prompt reply but I'm sad to say, nothing worked. As a last resort l attempted to perhaps SAVE MODE but even that failed with a message telling me " the pc encountered a problem and needs to restart ". Is there a way to forcefully get into Save mode ?

[@arifkoparan]

have you fixed it yet? bcause I am having the same problems

[@helmutnestler2850]

@@arifkoparan Yes but after spending so much time on that problem and getting nowhere, l bit the bullet and simply reinstalled Windows 10. I lost everything everything stored on that Laptop but at least l got my Laptop back and besides l found l had a lot backed up on Dad's. I hope going that way will help you .

[@arifkoparan]

@@helmutnestler2850 I also want to reset everything but I keep getting stuck on de blue screen. there is like no way to reset my laptop because it keeps saying " there was a problem" for literaly everything.

[@petewhite511]

Hi, last night I cleaned out the prefect, %temp%, temp folders. Turned off superfetch / sysmain. And windows update in services on a windows 8.1 laptop. In startup, disabled a couple of startup programmers. And done the WSreset. I restarted the laptop, and now have the bsod. It won't boot into safe mode, startup repair didn't help. With the laptop owners say so I could try restoring to a different point. What are your thoughts? Cheers Pete What do you recommend?
