Why Blue Screen Problems Occur and What to do About Them?
Why blue screen problems occur is a question that still stumps most
of the connected computer population. Still, it happens and you
should be able to deal with it.
The Blue Screen of Death (BSOD) is a signal given to you by your computer that it has detected an error that is fatal to its ability to continue functioning, and that Windows is consequently shutting down to prevent further damage to your operating system and applications. When you encounter a blue screen problem it is very clear because there is a sharp interruption and your screen goes blue with white text on it explaining what has happened and giving some more information. Needless to say...This is not a good thing.

Registry Problems and Error Messages
More often than not, blue screen problems are caused by registry errors. The simplest solution to this problem is to set your system right by using a registry cleaner. There are a number of registry cleaners available on the market such as Registry Fix, Fix Registry, Registry Clean, Registry Easy and RegTool, that will do the job efficiently and effectively. These registry cleaning tools remove all the redundant and unwanted entries from the registry and restore it to the best condition possible.
So when you first encounter a blue screen, you should your error repair efforts with a registry cleaner. If it does not get sorted out after you have run a registry cleaner, you should try looking for the following errors by reading the text that appears on your blue screen
When you get a blue screen you will notice that it has four parts. Section one contains the error message. Section two lists the Microsoft Windows or NT modules that have been loaded into memory. The third section details the module that was about to be loaded when the error occurred and the fourth section details the current status of the debugger. What will be of prime importance to you is the first and third section.
The error message section contains an error code number, the addresses where the error occurred and a text code that indicates the type of error.

2. A buggy device driver or a hardware conflict.
a. Uninstall the hardware or device driver.
3. A registry error.
a. Use a registry cleaner to sort out the problem.
4. INACCESSIBLE_BOOT_TRAP is an indication that the system is not able
to read from the hard disk.
a. Check for faulty device driver or a bad small computer systems interface (SCSI) terminator.
b. Check for a virus in the boot sector.
5. UNEXPECTED_KERNEL_MODE_TRAP is an error that is often caused by
computer memory.
a. Check whether single inline memory modules
(SIMMs) are the same type and speed.
b. Check to make sure that your computer's Complementary Metal Oxide Semiconductor (CMOS) is
set for the correct amount of RAM.
c. If both of the above check out, try replacing the memory in the computer.
6. BAD_POOL_HEADER this error comes up when recent changes made to the computer are not
compatible.
a. Undo the changes.
7. NTFS_FILE_SYSTEM this error is an indication of disk corruption.

start the operating system normally with the original copy.
8. KERNEL_DATA_INPAGE_ERROR indicates that your operating system was
not able to read a page from the Kernel data of the page file. Bad
memory, bad processor or incorrectly terminated SCSI devices can
cause this error.
a. Replace the PAGEFILE.SYS file.
9. NMI_HARDWARE_FAILURE is an error that occurs when the hardware
abstraction layer cannot report on the true cause of the error.
a. Call the hardware vendor.
If error number nine above is being displayed, you may be able to get more information from the Kernel debugger section. The module that caused the blue screen problem while loading will be indicated there. You can uninstall that application (if you know how) and then run a registry cleaner to remove residual entries in the registry left by the faulty application. If you do not want to clean up your system yourself, this article will help you talk intelligently to your technician about the probable causes of that terror inducing blue screen!
