BSOD (blue screen of death)

I use vista now, and I sometime got this blue screen things everytime I use vista. And god knows why did it happen. I haven’t found any single clue why BSOD always happen and what preventive measure that can be done to address it.

The “Blue Screen of Death” is an ominously nondescript blue screen alerting the user that, for any number of reasons, the computer must shut down to prevent further damage. This screen is accompanied by text, of which much is unintelligible to all but the most tech savvy.

this is an example of blue screen.

to know what happen with your computer and the reason why is has a blue screen then you can try this small utility called BlueScreenView

BlueScreenView is an informative utility that operates as a interpreter of sorts, taking what many find to be incomprehensible and processing  that information in a manner that makes it a bit easier to digest. The necessity of a utility like BlueScreenView becomes obvious when observing how little time you have before the “Blue Screen of Death” proceeds with a system reboot.

With BlueScreenView, the user can access BSOD dump file, filtering that information through a report that’s just a bit easier to understand. When launching the application, it will scan for the minidump files generated by the system crash, which are usually located in C:\windows\minidump. Taking that data, it displays it in a window, with the dump file listed above and those drivers associated with the crash sorted below.

so you need to use bluescreen if you use windows and trust me you gonna need it. to download bluescreenview you can try it here
