System Blue Screen Error Codes

If you use a computer on a regular basis, then you’re probably not all that surprised when error messages occasionally pop up now and then. Usually it’s just an application that freezes up and we get the ‘Not Responding’ message, where we simply choose to either wait it out, until it resolves itself, or choose to stop the application from running. Now Blue screen error codes however, elicit a rather different response from users compared to other errors, namely panic and dread.

It’s a terrible feeling when the display turns blue all of a sudden. If it’s the first time to see one, you may not realize how significant the problem is and go with the usual response. That is following an IT pro’s usual solution of turning the computer off and then back on.

Nowadays, I seldom call IT if I have a computer crash at the office. I simply cut out the middle man and hit the power button. Blue screen problems however are different to the usual program freeze, since you can’t shut down a non-responding program in ‘task manager.’ Unfortunately, the only way to escape from the error code is a full restart.

As do many people, a random blue screen occurrence may just be seen as a one time only problem, never to happen again. The problem is, for most users, Stop Error Codes are not just one time occurrences. Usually the cause of the blue screen crash is a software or hardware fault or incompatibility. Blue screens have a habit of coming up again until the cause of the problem is fixed.

Getting the stop error code can be infuriating when you haven’t saved what you’ve been working on for the past hour. Yes, it’s a total bummer to have to restart and say goodbye to your hard work. And unless you know a lot about PCs and you know how to access the dump file, don’t even bother risking messing up your computer even more by trying to access it.

So what now? Do you take it to a PC repair store? If the lost data is that valuable to you, this is not a bad idea. As for the Unmountable boot volume blue screen error message, you might be comforted in knowing that it is actually a fairly common problem. Most veterans of the blue screen experience may know it as the Blue Screen of Death. Being a relatively common problem, you’d think it would be easy to fix. Wrong! You’d be surprised how many different stop error codes there actually are.

Often the problem lies in with a faulty or incompatible registry key or device driver. Conflicts can be caused from incorrect installation or update of programs, hardware devices and printers etc. The solution may be simple such as rolling back a newly updated driver. You might think it strange that updating applications or hardware would cause problems, but PCs can be temperamental beasts.

Next time you see the stop error message, take note of what it says. The solution to the problem lies in the message. Sadly, the message will probably read like gibberish and be as easy to decipher as Morse code in a foreign language. Once you have your message, either show it to someone who knows about computers or plug it into the search engine see if you can find the solution.

In a majority of cases, registry and driver issues are the root of the problem and can be fixed without the need of an expert. A wide range of errors and problems can be fixed automatically using software.
