How To Fix Blue Screen of Death in Windows 7 ?

Computer errors have become an irritation for so many people now. One of the most common asked questions is how to fix windows 7 blue screen of death (BSOD).

The problem happens when the computer screen becomes blue. All the working computer programs are stopped in between. This error is such a huge problem for people because all the programs stop working. On top of it, any unsaved work is lost forever. Therefore, the users have to do their best to get rid of such blue screen errors.

Compared to Windows XP & Vista, BSOD aka blue screen of death annoyance is very less with Windows 7 but that does not mean Windows 7 is full proof to BSOD error. Recently Microsoft has noted Windows 7 may crash with blue screen of death error for no apparent reason followed by error message “STOP: 0×0000000A.”

Computer running Windows 7 occasionally crashes after it runs for some time. You receive a Stop error message with blue screen. The Stop error message resembles the following: STOP: 0×0000000A (parameter1, parameter2, parameter3, parameter4) IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUA

The biggest flaw in Windows 7 in my opinion was the frequency of Blue Screen Of Death when a USB device was unplugged without ejecting it from Windows. It was like if someone using Windows XP would come to the person using Windows 7 and plugged in his USB drive and then he would hurriedly unplug his USB drive without knowing that it would crash the Windows 7.

The error codes on Blue Screen of Death are usually 0x0000007E and 0×00000050. Fortunately the hotfix for fixing this issue is available with Microsoft now. To see the details about this error message go to this Microsoft article KB979538.
