You haven't passed any information about your plight. How then do you want the "gurus" to proffer solutions?

Reasons for the Blue Screen of Death(BSOD)



1. Software Errors

Errors with software running on the computer are common causes of the Blue Screen of Death. When drivers are incorrectly installed (or not installed at all), Windows may encounter a system error and be unable to continue running the software. The solution usually lies in installing the correct drivers for the software or upgrading the computer so that it meets the minimum requirements of the software.

2. Hardware Errors

Hardware errors, such as errors from ancillary products (an external CD drive, a flash drive, or even a printer) can cause the Blue Screen. This can be due to the hardware malfunctioning, or even be correlated to the user unplugging the hardware in the middle of an operation.
Installation Errors

2b. During the installation process of a new piece of software. Indeed, installing Windows itself (such as to a freshly built computer or a re-install) can be a very critical time for errors. This can happen when the computer's hardware is incorrectly configured.

3. Startup

If a computer is infected with a virus or too much spyware, the Blue Screen can appear upon startup. These malicious programs make changes to the registry in order to collect information on the user. Sometimes these changes make it impossible for Windows to boot correctly.

4. Random Errors

Because they don't seem to follow any type of predictable pattern, random appearances of the Blue Screen of Death can be the most frustrating. The causes for these intermittent errors can be anything from low memory to a processor overheating. Unfortunately, these seemingly random errors are usually the surest signs of serious computer trouble.
The best defense is to begin moving important files off the hard drive and consider getting a new computer.

BEST SOLUTION THAT WILL TAKE CARE OF PROBLEM 1-3 WITHOUT STRESS IS TO FORMAT YOUR SYSTEM OR UPGRADE TO WIN7 IF YOU ARE USING WIN VISTA. Just hope its not problem 4, else you'll get a new system.

Re: Pls Help B4 I Smash My Laptop by NnamdiN: 3:33pm On Oct 21, 2011
thanks everyone. I'm currently working on a project, I've really gone far, that's y I'm scared of formatting.
Actually, the problem is from a software my friend installed,he was able to uninstall it via safe mode but now the safe mode doesn't work anymore.I tried installing d OS again from a CD but the option for upgrading is not highlighted, the one highlighted is for me to install a clean copy but I'm gonna loose everything.
Please anyother option?
There's also a new error info now, it says "windows failed to load because the system registry file is missing, or corrupt.  Please I really love this baby, I'll miss her for life if I smash her grin

@femi4 will upgrading to win 7 keep my files and programs(a whole lotta them work with cracks and I can't get most of the cracks)
Re: Pls Help B4 I Smash My Laptop by PCTECH1: 8:54pm On Oct 21, 2011
Hi Nnamdi,

, Smashing your laptop wil not help you outta the issue, instead worsen it.
As pointed out by other engineers in the house, try the following steps accordingly:

1. Put on your system and hold down the F8 key, choose the safe mode and revert to any earlier restored state.

2. If it doesn't work, press F2 on start up and run a diagnostic test on both hard drive and RAM. This will give you a clue if it's hardware related, then change faulty one detected.

3. if you may need to recover some essential files and programs on the system, e-mail me at: ainaoladapo@pc-techworld.us.tc or call 07028624366 for help and the system will thereafter be loaded afresh.

It will keep only your files, you have to do away with the present OS. Back up your files first

To retreive your files, you need to run ubuntu (WARNINGsmiley I do not mean installing ubuntu, installing ubuntu will wipe your system of every files) there is an option for you to run ubuntu on your pc without installing it. Download ubutu for free and burn into a cd or usb flash drive

when you run ubuntu, you can then copy your necessary files to a usb flash drive, then you can format and reinstall windows, that's all.

I see you have what is known as the Blue Screen Of Death. Some ppl have already told you why it happens and proferred solutions. In my own opinion, I think it's best you just reformat the system like they have suggested and you can use Ubuntu cd to retrieve your files before you format. If you are in lagos and need extra help towards that, give me a call anytime. O8Onine86three1nine8six.
