Computer Blue Screen Repair

If you have owned a computer with Microsoft Windows then you are certainly aware of the term blue screen. Also sometimes referred to as blue screen of death - although noone ever died from a blue screen it does sound serious.

BSoDs have been around since Windows 1.0. In Windows 1.x-2.x, if Windows found a newer DOS version than it expected it would give a blue screen with white text saying "Incorrect DOS version" followed by a list of loaded kernel modules and their respective memory addresses, before starting normally. This BSoD, however, was triggered by a bug in the logo code, and was not an actual crash screen; when the system did crash, it would either lock up or exit to DOS. Windows 3.0 had a modal dialog for displaying important system messages, usually from digital device drivers in 386 enhanced mode, or other situations where a program could not run unless an issue was resolved.[3][4]

In Windows 3.1, this modal dialog was changed from black to blue, and it would be displayed when pressing Ctrl+Alt+Del (which opens Task Manager) while no programs were unresponsive. Windows 3.x continued to exit to DOS if an error was severe enough. From wikipedia.

Understandign why you get a blue screen could me summarised as either a hardware related issue or software. Lets look at hardware first.

Depending on the error number and its nature, all, some, or even none of the parameters contain data pertaining to what went wrong, and/or where it happened. In addition, the error screens showed four paragraphs of general explanation and advice and may have included other technical data such the file name of the culprit and memory addresses.

Software related blue screen errors are becuase an instruction was made that referenced an inccorect memory space causing an error.
