1. Note the Error Code
The BSOD usually shows a stop code (like MEMORY_MANAGEMENT, IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL, etc.).
Write it down—it points to the possible cause.
2. Boot into Safe Mode
Restart your PC and press F8 or Shift + F8 before Windows loads.
Choose Safe Mode to boot with minimal drivers.
3. Update Drivers
Outdated or faulty drivers are a common cause.
Go to Device Manager, right-click your devices, and update drivers (especially for graphics, chipset, and network).
4. Run Windows Update
Make sure your system is fully updated.
Go to Settings > Update & Security > Windows Update.
5. Scan for Malware
Use Windows Defender or a trusted antivirus to check for viruses.
6. Check for Hardware Issues
Run Memory Diagnostic Tool: Search for "Windows Memory Diagnostic" and run it.
Check Hard Drive Health: Open Command Prompt and run:
chkdsk /f /r
7. Uninstall Recent Software/Drivers
If the BSOD started after a new program or driver install, uninstall it.
8. System Restore
Use System Restore to roll back to a point when your PC was working fine.
9. Reset or Reinstall Windows
If all else fails, you can reset or do a clean Windows install.
