- 0:25From there, click troubleshoot.
- 0:28Then advanced option.
- 0:31Click startup repair and see if that can

- 0:41First of all, type sfc space right slash
- 0:46scan now and press enter key.

- 1:40nt60
- 1:42space sys then enter.
- 1:47After that, close the window and click
- 1:50continue and check if the problem has
- 1:52been resolved or not.
- 1:54If not, there are two things I'll
- 1:56suggest you do.
- 1:57One, come back here again to the command
- 1:59prompt
- 2:01and type mdsched
- 2:05and press enter.
- 2:07After that, this window will pop up and
- 2:09we can check RAM problems with this
- 2:11command.
- 2:12So here we will check for RAM problems.
- 2:14So let's click on restart now.
- 2:17After that, this screen will appear
- 2:19which says Windows Memory Diagnostic
- 2:21Tool and you should wait for it to check
- 2:24if your RAM have issues.
- 2:27This will take some time, so you need to
- 2:29be very patient.
- 2:35After the RAM test, if there are no
- 2:37issues, then come back again to this
- 2:39advanced option that says choose an
- 2:41option and click on troubleshoot.
- 2:44Then advanced options.
- 2:46Then startup settings
- 2:49and click restart.
- 2:52So from there, this startup settings
- 2:54screen will show up and you will need to
- 2:56press a number from your keyboard to
- 2:58choose an option. I want to enter into
- 3:00safe mode, so I'll press four from my
- 3:02keyboard.
- 3:05And wait patiently until you come to
- 3:07this black screen that says safe mode.
- 3:11So first of all, come to search and type
- 3:14disk cleanup.
- 3:19And click on it.
- 3:21Then click okay.
- 3:24After that, this window will show up and
- 3:27what this will do is to remove all junks
- 3:29and unnecessary files that may affect
- 3:31the stability of your Windows operating
- 3:33system.
- 3:34So here you will need to select all the
- 3:36temporary files like these ones.
- 3:43And in case you do not need your deleted
- 3:46files in the recycle bin, then check
- 3:48that, too.
- 4:01>> After I click okay,
- 4:03and click delete files.
- 4:05This will delete all the junk files and
- 4:07catchy files that can affect your
- 4:09Windows operating system.
- 4:17From there, again right-click on start.
- 4:21And click run.
- 4:24Now type msdt.exe
- 4:28space
- 4:30-id space device diagnostics
- 4:36and click okay.
- 4:38After that, this will open up hardware
- 4:40and devices.
- 4:42And click advanced.
- 4:44And ensure there's a tick on apply
- 4:46repair automatically.
- 4:48Then click next.
- 4:51From there, you select the problem you
- 4:53wish to fix and click next.
- 5:00Again, depending on the problem, you
- 5:02either get fix now or enable an option.
- 5:05In my case, it is enabled because it
- 5:08seems Windows is not currently
- 5:09configured to be able to check for
- 5:11updated drivers.
- 5:13So, I will click on enable.
- 5:20And you can see the problem is fixed.
- 5:23From there, if your problem was fixed,
- 5:25you can click yes.
- 5:27And after close the window.
- 5:30Again, come to your search and type
- 5:32control panel.
- 5:34And click on it.
- 5:36From there, click on programs and
- 5:38features. And you will see all the
- 5:40programs installed on your computer.
- 5:43In case you installed any programs
- 5:45before you started experiencing the blue
- 5:46screen error. Then you can only install
- 5:49the programs from here.
- 5:52But in case it's an update you
- 5:53downloaded and installed for your
- 5:55Windows operating system, then you click
- 5:57view installed updates.
- 6:01In here, all update files will show. So
- 6:04you will just have to uninstall that
- 6:06update you think you installed before
- 6:07you had a problem.
- 6:12After I close the window and restart
- 6:14your PC and see if that resolves your
- 6:16problem.
- 6:19If not, then come back to this advanced
- 6:21options again and click on troubleshoot.
- 6:25Then advanced options.
- 6:27Then system restore.
- 6:30Here, if your Windows have a system
- 6:32restore point created, then I can assure
- 6:34you that this method will definitely fix
- 6:36the problem.
- 6:37What this option will do is to restore
- 6:39your computer to an earlier date when it
- 6:41was working fine. And don't worry, this
- 6:43process will not cause you to lose any
- 6:45of your files or data.
- 6:48Simply click next, then choose your most
- 6:50recent restore point.
- 6:55And click next again.
- 6:58Then select yes and wait for the process
- 7:01to complete.
- 7:02This may take some time, so please be
- 7:04patient.
- 7:09But if not, then come back again to this
- 7:11advanced option and click on
- 7:13troubleshoot.
- 7:14Then from there, you can try to reset
- 7:16your PC.
- 7:18So here, click on reset the PC
- 7:21and you can choose either to keep my
- 7:22files or remove everything.
- 7:25If you choose to keep my files, there
- 7:26are two options. Option one is to
- 7:29reinstall your Windows using the cloud
- 7:30download and the other option is to use
- 7:33the local reinstall.
- 7:35With the cloud download, you might need
- 7:36an internet connection, which will
- 7:38download files and reinstall your
- 7:39operating system automatically.
- 7:42But with the local reinstall, you might
- 7:44need to reinstall your Windows using a
- 7:45device like bootable USB flash drive or
- 7:48any compatible device. But, I will
- 7:51suggest you use the cloud download
- 7:52because this will give you an updated
- 7:54Windows reinstallation for optimal
- 7:56system performance.
- 8:00Finally, one last thing I will suggest
- 8:02you do is the power drain.
- 8:04What this will do is to reset your
- 8:06computer's motherboard, and this can
- 8:08solve many compatibility problems.
- 8:11Sometimes, this process can even solve
- 8:13the problem of a dead computer if the
- 8:15motherboard capacitor are overcharged.
- 8:17So, what you have to do is to remove
- 8:19your laptop CMOS battery
- 8:26as well as the main battery.
- 8:34After that, press and hold the power
- 8:35button for about 30 seconds to 1 minute.
- 8:39From there, wait for an extra 3 to 5
- 8:42minutes and put everything back together
- 8:44and try again.
- 8:49So, that's all for this tutorial. I'm
- 8:51very sure one of these tips will fix
- 8:52your problem. If not, please kindly
- 8:55contact me through the comment section
- 8:56below and I'll get back to you as soon
- 8:58as I can. But, before that, please watch
- 9:00this video on your screen that shows you
- 9:02how to create a system restore point on
- 9:04your Windows computer. Creating a system
- 9:07restore point can help you to easily
- 9:09prevent most blue screen problems that
- 9:11may occur in the future. So, if you
