[MissNikkiandSarah]

I have Windows 7 on my laptop, and I haven't gotten the BSOD and I don't intend to--Is there any advice to keep up not getting a BSOD? I had my laptop since August 2010 with no problems but I wanna keep it clean and safe :3

[themine1122]

I've had this Vista forever and nothing has happened on the other hand my Windows 7 laptop I've had for 6 months and BAM I got the blue screen of death and I can't fix it. If anyone has this same problem or knows how to fix it feel free to message me. Guess I'm down 900 bucks. Next time, I'm getting a Mac Blue Screen Sucks

[Computist40]

Vista isn't just unstable, it's just needs sooooo much power to run!

[ArolWright]

BSoD have 5 explanations:

Blue Screen of Death

Blue Screen of Doom

Blue Shit of Death

Blue Shit of Doom

Blue Screensaver of Death (<<< your case video-nerd with a Mac)

[MATTBMW123]

i had 9 blue screens since 2008

[Monkey7339]

Windows 7 - BSOD = Windows 7 is a safe OS! Use it!

[kostas8221]

Blue shit of doom

[oscherry509]

i only had 1 so far and that was on xp skipd vista and went on to windows 7 so far so good

[Funkis1991]

For seven years I did not have the blue screen of death, this year it jumped five times.

I have windows 7 eternity (ultimate)

[0oDarkLordRevano0]

I've never had one BSoD... but again, I've only used like computers.

1) XP Desktop 1GB of RAM and Pentium 4

2) Vista Laptop 3GB of RAM and Sempron 3200

3) Windows 7 4GB of RAM on Phenom II 955 >:D

[NoahRobinson07]

LOL. I changed to a MacBook Pro. Because my VAIO on XP. Had a constant blue screen of death even if you tried to turn it off ha lol FAIL

[LiezAllLiez]

Ever since all my hardware is udated at all times i dont remember the last time i had a BSOD... oh wait i do remember - a year + ago when my gfx card got burnt. It was BSODing me to hell until i replaced it. Nothing since then and i am using the crappy vista...

[RJdarkness94]

yeah i have a windows 7 and it keeps on having a blue sreen and it keeps crashing

[RJdarkness94]

yeah i have a windows 7 and it keeps on having a blue sreen and it keeps crashing help!!!!!!!!!

[drnapster]

i have only had bsod in windows 98 never with anything newer

[theif519]

I use Linux, so the only problem I have to worry about is a Kernel Panic and a Kernel Oops, and those are very rare and normally only happen when you're configuring something important... or something ELSE does. Either way, GNU/Linux Distros are ideal for me, I love customizing, configuring, optimizing, and learning (About) computers.

[Spazzy4Twenty]

i have that problem now but safe mode doest work same screen pop up iam doomed

[gelutze]

I hate the bluescreen: I open sony vegas or another program and than out of nowhere there's suddenly a bluescreen and my pc is very new and cost me 920€!!!

[phisitproduction]

Ooops !! :( :O ! I just sneezed and I think my laptop is infected with viruses, how I'm going to diagnose it? haha :)

[TheDuke1724]

I sneezed on my laptop and it blue screened... didn't know viruses were that contagious :)

[TheTrillz]

I turned on my laptop and then "BAM!" I got one, well whenever I did continue it allowed me to restore to a previous state now I'm kinda scared but whatever.

[ladygagagerbilDBZfan]

you cant avoid because...well...

ITS A WINDOWS

[Javier23gol]

It happens to me when I open the AOL 9.6 software

[ez0469]

BSOD says Hi Epic Chat message !!

[Manutd2456]

I always get blue screen .....its always alright after .......anyone know ????

[Gamer1990100]

@Manutd2456 Happens to me to, but my PC has this feature it dumps memory into a backup storage space so when it restarts everything is fine until it happens again, no memory loss though, also I heard if you do factory restore it'll put everything back to default settings, but anything you installed you'll have to do it again since it wipes the hard drive.

[alwaysyanwar]

i've got bsod on my laptop and my computer!!!!

[JoshHartNow]

Here is how to avoid it: don't bang on the keyboard when something is not loading fast enough.

[pontena]

I've got BSOD on my moms computer

[Jredgrave128]

@HatersGonnaHate1000 warm

[johnnycz4]

i han the BSOD every thirty min. so i changed the date to 2008 and it stopped.

[bazzvy]

I've had a new PC for over an year and I only got BSoD ONCE! Can you believe it ?!

[thomasgangsta]

Yea I downloaded AVG and Skype the day I got mine, And that's probably what caused it.

[hanna456]

@thomasgangsta I don't think so.. do u know what the file that is causing your comp/laptop to have the BSOD? It's usually under the stop error code. If not use the Stop Error code

[mariofreak91]

I used my first computer running Windows XP and never had a blue screen of death in 7yrs. I bought a hp laptop running Vista 64bit and I received the blue screen of death in the first week...thank you hp for not having the proper sound drivers installed.

[cyberzone10]

Solution:Place a big magnet or multiple BIG MAGNET (Bigger magnet helps alot) at your Hard Disk.This will abolish Blue Screen of death,sure bsod will strike you twice of time but that indicates a good thing because usually bsod happen multiple of times.Since a magnet is at your hard disk,blue screen of death will rarely seen at your computer :P

Good luck :D

[jman454100]

I got a BSOD on windows ME Millenium Edition. Geez, it was last night. That was not the only BSOD. I also got 15 BSODs on Windows XP on a dell by a new hard drive that was broken. I tried all your tips but the only thing that dit was bring a new BSOD. I even tried to boot the CD to install the STABLE Vista. Linux is crap. Jesus god, why does the BLUE SCREEN EXIST????

[B34stTheD34d]

@jman454100 the blue screen exists to point out an issue with your computer if it werent for the bsod there would have neverd been a fix for it which means, if your computer dies it dies

[jman454100]

[chronofusion]

NOPE..keep it FREAKIN SIMPLE. dont buy Registry adjusters or protectors. and STOP PUTTING MORE THAN ONE ANTIVIRUS on your compute and all these stupid TOOLBARS which are notorious for letting malware and viruses get passed your antivurs, stop overclocking any of your hardware, make sure you have the correct STABLE drivers ( sometimes this takes trial and error to discover faulty drivers), USE COMMON SENSE dont click something that doesn't make sense!

[19jOytOthewOrld25]

PC maintenance / TuneUp Utilities, Advanced System Care.

BSoD - file system error / run chkdsk / F8 then select "last known good configuration"

[19jOytOthewOrld25]

Windows 7 Ultimate Edition x64 3GB of RAM... \m/

[tweetyaja]

My solution is simple, Get throw your computer out and buy a mac! it easy!

[terrelldaniel]

my computer was was sitting itle when my pc just went blue screen just popped up for no reson st the bottom it said dumping memory and sumthing about computer error crash

[r4microds]

i love windows 7

[tibondimek]

@r4microds doest it says anything about it?? or , why you love windows 7 , i have it 2 but why?

[r4microds]

@tibondimek : idk, i guess most bugs are fixed. Now the database for drivers is much larger and chances are - if u plug in a new divice, it'll auto install the drivers from the net (if the divice is common). They have more stable features and i guess your chances of getting BSoD are like wayy less. Then again, I have gotten it once after a fulty ATi Catlyst driver update, but it rolled' it back after the issue without me having to do anything. :D

[tibondimek]

@r4microds i love windows 7 :D!

[kingary]

@r4microds And I love Linux...

[r4microds]

@kingary : linux is totally awesome. most drivers are generic anyways, so you can run linux on almost anything! :D

[kookieless]

@kingary and i love solaris BSD linux and moldy cheese

[ziurakitski10]

@kookieless dude your pretty corni.. :P

[kookieless]

@ziurakitski10 bleu cheese is good cheese

[EvanProductions2]

@kingary and i hate everyone.

[xXLloyd22Xx]

@kingary And i don´t like Linux :)

[lk0056]

@r4microds fuck you

How to avoid the BSOD : Install Linux

[LJANM1]

/watch?v=rc5KlaxB9b8 anyone know how to fix this

[maryann2573]

I just encountered one while replaying a video way too much, it restarted my computer again..

[StudioSHAD]

I got the BSOD once when trying to load The Sims (the original, not 2 or 3). It won't run on Vista properly without clicking "run as administrator" on the icon each time you play. I forgot to do that once and when the game's loading screen came up, I kept pressing ALT+F4 to shut it off, to no avail, then the BSOD came up.

I've also gotten it due to viruses, which REALLY sucked.

[killemonkey]

i got BSOD when i plugged my ipod in. dosnt happen now tho :)

[rushawnjones]

i deleted a vid of my computer and got the the blue screen 2 seconds later

[cpkphil]

I only get mine when watching clips on Youtube. I don't watch on other sites so am not sure if it will happen with other videos as well. What happens is, I get a blue screen, and it is not always the same cause. But I reboot and it's ok until the next one. I tried some fixes I've seen but it still happens. Any suggestions.

[theagemon5]

hey i just installed a new graphic card on my pc and i played crysis on it everything went fine then suddenly bam!!! i had blue screen and i thaught it was something with my pc and the game that didnt work yogheter or something like that so i uninstalled it and now when i was watching a movie on my pc bam!!! again blue screen culd this be that my graphic card is to good for my proccesor or something shuld i buy a new proccesor or a new graphic card or is there something i shuld install pls help)

[Kyleidge]

@theagemon5 Power supply.

[theagemon5]

@Kyleidge power supply ? whats that ?

[Kyleidge]

@theagemon5 It's a component in your PC. Seems as if yours is not powerful enough, If I were you I'd look into getting a new one.

[theagemon5]

@Kyleidge ok but i just installed a new graphic card in my computer dont you think it might be the graphic card maybe ? i dont know i havent had any problems before i installed a new graphic card becuse my old one is broken : (

[Kyleidge]

@theagemon5 After installing your new graphics card, your PC will need more power, and your power supply doesn't seem to be up to it :) This is what's causing the BSoD's (I think!)

[theagemon5]

@Kyleidge ok i get it now i think the video card needs more power than my old one and my power supply isnt strong enough

i have

windows 7

2 gb ram

procesor intel core(r) core(TM) 2 cpu 6600 @ 2,40 GHZ  2,40GHZ

32 bit

my graphic card is

ATI RADEON HD 5770 1GB GDDR5 PCI EXPRESS 1080P FULL HD

HIGH DEFINITION MULTIMEDIA INTERFACE

i dont know if you understand all this but i just wrote down all the information i could find about my pc :P

[Kyleidge]

@theagemon5 Yep, looking at your graphics card, I'm sure you need a new power supply :)

[theagemon5]

@Kyleidge ok thanks for helping me realy thanks : )

[papermario555]

[xdreamagainx]

Guys don't go onto the chris.pirillo chat room.

[gelutze]

@VistaFreddii I too but this is the only thing you can do in this case^^ :)

[alipouya]

@VistaFreddii me to lol 

[SilentNinja254]

@VistaFreddii does it work ?

[leeham991]

I've never had a blue screen of death and my PC is a Compaq that's been running Windows since 2003.

[dimbulb23]

Ask yourself this: "How many BSODs have I had that I fixed by installing an update from Microsoft?" I've been a heavy Windows user since Window 3.0 and I can't remember any. Bad memory, bad hardware, bad drivers Yes. Fixed by update...NO.

BSODs only come from Microsoft because that's the way they inform the customer of situations the OS can't handle. Have the same hardware issue in Linux and it will fail too, Linux just doesn't choose to show you a BS but the fix is still fix the hardware!

[SuddenMovieImpact]

Hopefully A Solution Will Come In Time.

[dimbulb23]

@SuddenMovieImpact The solutions for BSODs come all the time. But for reasons I've never understood, no one appears to notice.

[rastoper]

All I can add to what all ready said in the video is do not to install lots of toolbars and program you will get slow pc and unstable program that in some cases can bring on a bsod

don’t use the tool that you don’t understand how to use right lost count of the and system restore always there if you pc stop working right oh and please do not use poontag4me comment that just give you one broken hard drive lol

[pjob797]

me and my fanily have been using windows for 11 years and have never once have gotten a bsod

[mario9dragon]

I use Win7 and I can't even get the BSOD screen saver (from systinternals) to work. I feel stupid...

[EdwardWilliamsTV]

you can turn windows into linux free?

[AdamhaiderTV]

I'm on Win7 and have never had a BSOD, however while using my 2 yr old netbook I am now experiencing reoccurring BSOD (Hardware malfunction: parity memory failure error) No memory errors were found during memory check and I bought new RAM and still does it. Any idea how to fix it?

[mat88998]

I have had BSOD with vista but mine just restarted and worked like normal

[SuperKiraGamer2]

my win 7 bsod me now every time i start it mostly when its says welcome when i log in (auto log on) but right now it didnt bsod me yet

[MetalGear2k]

the only os i had bluescreens on is windows xp.

after i switched to vista and now windows 7 i never had a bluescreen in almost 3 years. and vista isnt that bad.... anyone who argues about the best and most stable os is just an idiot with no clue about pc's as long as it works fine for you it doesn't matter which os you have and with vista and windows 7 the bluescreen times are almost over

mfg

metalgear2k

[thengclan]
