If you're a *CrowdStrike* customer watching this on or around 19th July 2024, there is a massive outage affecting customers globally. The following is reported to fix it: 1. Boot Windows into Safe Mode, the Windows Recovery Environment [or from a USB drive e.g. Linux] 2. Navigate to the C:\Windows\System32\drivers\CrowdStrike directory 3. Locate the file matching "C-00000291*.sys", and delete it 4. Boot the host normally If you use BitLocker you will need to have the recovery key handy
If you're a CrowdStrike customer, probably. If you don't use CrowdStrike it won't affect you. CrowdStrike isn't something a regular home user would have installed - it would be installed by a company's IT department.
This is the best video tutorial I ever seen, rather than other people who have long intros, this one is one of the clearist, straight to the point video I ever seen, Thank you so much!
This is an excellent video that every Windows user should watch, whether you’re experiencing blue screens or not. Unfortunately there is no single fix for a blue screen, which is why you have to learn to look deeper. What a great guide, thanks for this video!
@@ProTechShowHello ProTech if you really like challenges I have a doozy for ya. I can give an extremely detailed list of everything that has led to the issue. In brief in this post. 1. Lighting took out the original motherboard. 2. Hard drives, processor, okay, new memory. 3. Replaced it with a completely different motherboard. Old was an ECS or ESC. New old stock is a Gigabyte that supports the old processor it POSTS . 4. Dual boot and Win XP works Win 10 won't boot normally or in to safe mode. 5. It was MBR (Legacy) boot without AHCI setup on the old motherboard the new motherboard has the feature, however it is not set to use it in BIOS. 6. I didn't do the following on purpose. As I mentioned earlier it is dual boot Win XP and Win 10. Here is what I didn't intend Win XP is on one hard drive and Win 10 on the 2nd hard drive. (Two total in the system). Each drive has 2 partitions each drive is a terabyte in size. Four partitions as equal as I could make them. 7. Tried BCDEDIT repairing no avail. Tried my best to inject the drivers that support the new motherboard again to no avail. It is either a bootloader issue or a missing driver that fails to load at boot time. The error I get is "inaccessible boot device". Any suggestions would be highly and hugely appreciated. My apologies for such a long post and Thank You in advance for (possibly 😆) reading it.
Incredibly helpful! So clear and concise to understand. My girlfriend unfortunately did a recent windows update and it went haywire. Next thing you know, it goes into a boot loop and never goes to the advanced recovery options page and was unable to start in safe mode. Just kept getting the blue screen of death screen message. Was able to boot into the advanced recovery options by booting from a USB with the Windows 11 media creation tool from the link you provided and was able to restore it to the period before the problematic update. Worked like a charm! Thanks so much!

This was a great guide on how to delve deeper into BSOD errors and I didn’t have to brush up on my Hindi or constantly replay trying to understand what they said which amps up an already frustrating situation.

Still hot on trail, but this video has provided me with some debug tools to look at it closer…many thanks!
Great video. I believe it's fixed!! Blue screen would crash immediately, but after your advice I was able to update windows and do some work for a couple hours afterwards and no crash; so fingers crossed thanks again!
this was absolutally amazing! most tech videos just tell you to just start replacing parts or some bs like that but this was a HUGE help. Thank you so much!
Glad it helped. I'm not a fan of randomly guessing and replacing parts. My first job was working in a computer shop and that's basically what happened; then I got a job working on servers. You can't just turn servers off to take a guess when the parts are expensive and it affects an entire business every time you try something, so you have to learn to diagnose it properly.
When my laptop started getting these annoying Blue Screens of Death, I took it to the computer repair shop to have it checked and diagnosed. Turns out that some antivirus software are outdated. So I was told to never use those again and simply use Emsisoft and Ublocker extensions. That means McAfee, Avast and Ccleaner are now junk software. Since then, my laptop hasn't suffered a single BSoD.
Guess i’ll be taking it somewhere else.. none of this worked, I appreciate you taking the time to make this video still. Hope it helped plenty of others
I tried reinstalling drivers, nothing, I removed my graphics card, nothing, deleted duplicated files, nothing, deleted my drivers, nothing, removed and cleaned my ram, nothing, I’ve gone to bios and safe mode to reinstall to the previous version of windows, since they absolutely demanded I download it because of the infamous “packet dump” bullshit, and now my pc is frozen at 38% while trying to restart.
@@Bradlalb123 Unfortunately you will have to do a clean install of windows to solve this problem. You will have to re-partition your hard drive to do so, set all bios settings to auto and then reinstall windows. If it doesn't work after that you may have a bad hard drive.
One common pattern was after everyclean installation of Windows the crashes will only start when i installed applications either from the Microsoft store or common applications ive used before with older versions of Windows 10. Most of my applications were 3D CAD and modelling as well as Steam. Finally realized the issue was with incompatible GPU drivers. Whenever i did a clean installation of Windows 10 it would look for display drivers and install the Nvidia app. I assumed the correct drivers were installed. This was the problem. Apps were freezing or crashing to the BSOD and i didnt know what was going on. I tried SFC, DISM, restore points, recovery drives, System Repair Chkdsk. Was going no were. Windows would get so unstable until you cant even boot in and have no option but to do another clean install. So whenever you clean install windows also go to Nvidia and download the appropriate GPU drivers before installing your applications.
Sfc scan now has actually worked for me! My old laptop was a wreck, but that kept it running an extra little while. It still runs, technically, but is just slow from being ancient.
So helpful, for me it was Norton security causing my crashes, currently no further issues after uninstalling it. Thanks for the great advice, very good video.
I've been having this problem for months now! Either my browsers crash, the games I play, or just my whole computer. This has been very annoying for me and I hope that this will help me alot!
This was extremely helpful!!! Thank you 🙏🏾 I downloaded the WinDbg and it gave me the code for my Nvidia driver… So now I know specifically what to change.
My wife was getting a blue screen every ten minutes on Windows 11. I found your video, but before that we disabled part of her Avast which was running simultaneously with another antivirus software. It did not fix it then but the next day, no more blue screens. I think that was causing the problem. But I learned alot from your video for future reference.
The media creation tool worked. I've had problems with this brand new computer to drive to distraction, even considering the bluescreen. I'm wiping the ssd and returning the pc. Thanks for your help.
You fixed me!! My PC autoinstalled windows 11 and wouldn't boot up after, not even to safemode without crashing. Following your advice, I ran chkdsk c:/f and chkdsk c:/r a couple times each before finally resolving my issues. This morning windows loaded perfectly!! Thank you
Excellent! Thank you so much for such good, logically structured content. It is not easy to translate technical knowledge to us, regular users or semi-geeks, so thanks for that! I watched your video only after (hopefully) finding the solution in the randomized alice-in-wonderland style, but it seems to work. In my case Chrome and some of its extensions or its hardware acceleration feature (still monitoring this) caused Windows to crash basically nonstop, it even affected Window's menu like settings which I couldn't open. Thanks a lot again! I will definitely come back if my solution will appear to be only temporary.
This is so thorough and exact. It seems a lot of thought was put into this video, to make it actually useful as possible. Appreciated! I got here due to an unresolved BSOD. Unfortunately, in my case, there is NO 'BugCheck' Error entry in the Event-Logs (as suggested on 03:52), but rather (just) a Critical entry with Source='Kernel-Power', Event-ID=41 and Task-Category=(63). The crash always happens after resuming from Sleep. It started 2 weeks a go, on a Windows 10 Pro PC running successfully (with no BSOD) for about 6 years. Could you advise?
Thanks for these very clear suggestions. I am my own worst enemy here in that I updated Bios after my first blue screen. Lesson Learned. Wish they would hard code a warning not to update Bios after a crash!
Come across this video and had to put thinking cap on for sure. My fix was to many old usb drivers to do with sound recording software from windows8.1. Do have to be confident but this video made the important clues easy to identify the problems with the dreaded BSOD , Thanks for taking the time and hope this video stays up for as long as W10 stays supported.
thanks. You are good but it is rather technical, I got to a certain point I though I was on the verge to fix my blue screen but then I didn't. I will take it to the shop. My thought, this new hardware that was installed on my computer may not be all compatible :D
A bluescreen crash will typically reboot back into Windows automatically once it's saved a memory dump. In the event the bluescreen occurs during the start-up process there's a section in the video with things you can try if Windows wont start. Finally, you can grab the dump file from the faulty device and run the analysis on another computer - it doesn't have to be the same one.
Thank you very much been tryna find out what this blue screen was hasn’t popped up since I tried a few other videos but your video got me to where I needed to be thank you
Ugh it's so annoying I did an update last night before I went to bed, and I check it hours ago to see the BSOD I've tried uninstalling the update and just done everything so annoying!
Ouch. Glad you got it sorted in the end. I like to make regular backups just in case. If something like this happens it means you can restore the backup with all of your apps and data intact. If you're interested in taking a look at some free options there's a video here: th-cam.com/video/mOyQAJqeZ48/w-d-xo.html
after doing all the steps it was surprisingly the razer synapse software which was the culprit in my blue screen of death error. once i deleted it i havent actually gotten any errors and my computer isnt crashing now. Thanks for the help sooo much u saved me so much money !
Helpful so far! Got as far trying to install windbg, but couldn't even install that because 'Something went wrong' - windows can't even check for any updates, giving me the same message.
If you have access to another computer and can grab a copy of the memory dump you can run Windbg on the other computer - might help if it's crashing too quickly to do any troubleshooting.
Excellent video. really informative and well presented. It really helped me with my issues and I now know what to do next time I have an issue . Thank you so much.
Awesome I was having an issue where the bSod program I was using was not giving enough information... Thanks for the Link to WhoCrashed Tool! Worked great!
Once, I encountered a BSOD error quite literally out of the blue. This was when I wasn't as familiar with tech as I am now. I watched and looked up an unhealthy amount of guides on how to fix the issue online and ultimately I found around 5 or so scanning tools which apparently fix the software issues on your computer themselves, plus I found out about sfc scan ad driver re-installation. Now, after running all of those in order my problem did seem to be resolved, however before that, in retrospect, I did something rather stupid in running all of the scans and processes at the same time. I am assuming now that the scans started scanning each other causing problems since I instantly got a BSOD. I don't run 7 important processes at the same time anymore, thankfully and I haven't had the issue since. The worst thing is I think it genuinely was just an old driver error from the start making my little scanning experiment utterly meaningless and god knows sfc didn't fix anything.
It's likely. Most BSODs seem to be driver-related. Possibly the tools worked by prodding various parts of your system to see if an error occurred rather than analysing the memory dump... and found the problem but induced a crash in the process. I have a strong distrust of such automated tools. If they just give you recommendations that's fair enough but when it comes to the ones that carry out "repairs" automatically... They often cause more problems than they fix by deleting things they shouldn't.
I'm hoping the issue is fixed, but this was a very helpful video regardless of the specific issue I have! Straight to the point, organized, and overall good structure. Love the video. Thank you ❤
Great video , very easy to follow, and , None of it helped, it's weird, everything seems like it should work. I'm considering just gutting out the whole bloody thing, it's only 3.5 years old !
Thank you for this video. Very well explained. There have been some weird blue screens over the years yet fortunately not that many. I find it odd when a antivirus program, which is built to protect your computer, goes ahead and crashes your computer. I won't name names as these products have updated their products to work (hopefully) better. Two of the "big" name products from the late nineties and early 2000s, who still exist, both individually rendered my data unusable and I was forced to do a clean install and try to emotionally get over losing my mp3 collection I had. Limewire, Audiogalaxy and Kazaa took like a decade to download aiming mostly for that one single song. I had all the many CDs though. If you even renamed a file back in the days it was potentially looked at as dangerous by the "antivirus" program.
For some really strange reason, when i pulled both my rams and plug them back in, it fixed the issue... the blue screen of death got so bad that even using the usb with windows 11 ISO in it cannot get to the screen where you showed it would go, at that point i was sure it was hardware issue. This is a new pc that i built 2 days ago. I already brought it back to the vendor to check on it as it would crash during windows installation. They already replaced my ram sticks under warranty, and now it crashed again, so i was kind of sure the rams sticks are playing up again.
Weirdest BSOD I have seen was caused by using old boot drive with a new system. There were so many different components, not to mention CPU architecture, that Windows said, "F it, I'm out!"
Thank you so much, I felt like I’d tried everything and your tips really helped me gain a new understanding and find the root of the problem! Now that I know which driver caused the issue, what’s the easiest way to fix that as it’s not coming up with any driver updates? Again thank you!!
Thanks a million, mate your advice saved my laptop and save £ me from paying out for a new one. And I am what you would call computer illiterate all I know is how to turn my laptop on. But following your clear advice and step-by-step instructions got me my laptop back.
THANKS A LOT!!!🎉 I had the critical_process_died error and I eventually ended up downloading the windows creation tool on my USB.....I followed the steps and boom! My PC is back....... Thank you so much
Excellent video!! Several blue screens appear to me throughout a year, but lately every 15 days; Now it's hotter at home. The event viewer shows one last "atapi" error before the blue screen " \Device\Ide\IdePort3". But the system disk is a Samsung SSD with 20% overprovisioning in good condition, although I have not updated the firmware because in the forums they do not recommend updating it because it can be conflictive in AMD. Same thing with Gigabyte's SATA controllers; They say it's better to leave the Windows ones. The "barracuda" data disk sometimes hangs and after a minute it works again. I am with W7 64, AMD and 32 GB.
Thank you a ton for doing this video. I thought I had bad ram and it turned out it was a power performance change that I made! GEEZ! Problem fixed now I can get back to playing and enjoying it rather than wanting to smash in on the ground.
Oh, gosh! Tons of thank you for your video! That WhoCrashed tool is a savior! At least I know what caused the crash - Intel RST! Now we can take it from there. Thanks a lot again!
Glad it helped! Intel RST was crashing on one of my devices as well - removed it and no more problems. To be fair it wasn't 100% RST's fault in my case as the combination of RST version, motherboard, and OS weren't officially supported together.
Thank you so much for your workaround, you indeed saved my life as I was thought that the image will gone until I found your video.. now I relief. Really appreciate…
I've been through this issue for so long and finally solved it you have to go to this process stage by stage 1- Scan your computer by 3rd party antivirus 2- CMD as administrator >> command sfc /scannow and chkdsk 3- Use 3rd party software to update all your drivers including GPU and windows 4- Defrag your disks 5- Stress test your GPU using benchmark softwares 6- test ur ram using Memtest 86 7- Go to your Bios and turn off CMS compatibility support module or Legacy mode and keep it UEFI only

hello to you sir my problem is that when i play games specially nba 2k22 and 2k23 it crashes and turn off the laptop sometimes with blue screen sometimes black screen and after it restarts sometimes it restarts sometimes it stock with keyboard lighting and black screen. i follow the 1st step you showed with the event viewer and it has error and the source is not bug check its service control manager 7000 and the other one is application popup 1060
@@ddelski12aratia61 The service control manager error shouldn't cause the computer to crash. The application popup could be anything - it's not necessarily a problem, but it depends what the popup said. If you don't have a bugcheck event that suggests it isn't a "Blue Screen of Death" fault.
@@ProTechShow thank you for replying sir until now still wont fix. I did not see any bugs in the event viewer bit it is a bsod, anyways yesterday blue screen took too long ghat i managed to take a photo
0. Let's assume you have created restore point 1. Open CMD in the Blue screen 2. Type - Notepad and hit open 3. Go to - Windows/System32/Config 4. rename software to software.001 5. rename system to system.001 (you need to hit F5 to see the change in renaming a file) 6. Close the notepad 7. Write Exit in CMD 8. Try to restore PC with one of your earlier restore points. If doesn't work, try to restart PC
The windows app worked, or at least so far. My issue was the product System Mechanic. Got rid of it, crashes have stopped so far. I recommend the windbg app in microsoft store. Made finding issue quick and easy. And this video was a great guidance to make it easier, thank you!
@@ProTechShow it may have been an issue because the version i had was downloaded when my PC was at windows 7, either way ive been dealing with this intermittent issue for years now.

Hay a while ago my desk smashed because I put my keys down quite hard after raging on game pc went through the desk had a lil bump ever since my pc just crashes whenever it gets to warm or a lil overwhelmed do you think this could be a ssd problem as my friend came and replaced everything else except the case and ssd I’m useless at pc’s and really don’t want fork out on a ssd if it isn’t the actual problem …. Also when my crashes I don’t have half a second to look at the blue screen error it just goes of the my pc just starts right back up
Apparently the cause of mine is registry error. Apparently Windows 11 doesn't have the option to restore your registry. Funny, pc was working fine, stepped out for a quick errand, came back, and it was like this. This is on an IBUYPOWER prebuilt, and it's been nothing but problems. I tried literally every option here, as well as reinstalling Windows from a flash drive, and it won't even let me do that. I don't understand.
I really enjoyed this video. I was wondering if you could do a video on how to figure out what happened when your game freezes. I have to manually power down my computer and there is no blue screen.
Thanks. It's probably not a video I could make concisely enough for a generic video as the troubleshooting process is likely to differ game-to-game, depending on what logging and debugging options they have.

@@wendellpowellii7403 Dang. Thanks for the quick reply. I'm gonna try to fix mine. Will let you know if I have any success.
@@SlingSlangSkrrt. best wishes, I look forward to your success!
dude this is one of the best videos i have ever seen on how to actually figure out wtf is wrong with your pc
Thanks!
this was absolutally amazing! most tech videos just tell you to just start replacing parts or some bs like that but this was a HUGE help. Thank you so much!
Glad it helped. I'm not a fan of randomly guessing and replacing parts. My first job was working in a computer shop and that's basically what happened; then I got a job working on servers. You can't just turn servers off to take a guess when the parts are expensive and it affects an entire business every time you try something, so you have to learn to diagnose it properly.
When my laptop started getting these annoying Blue Screens of Death, I took it to the computer repair shop to have it checked and diagnosed. Turns out that some antivirus software are outdated. So I was told to never use those again and simply use Emsisoft and Ublocker extensions. That means McAfee, Avast and Ccleaner are now junk software. Since then, my laptop hasn't suffered a single BSoD.
How much it cost you to get fixed??
I already knew about a lot of these tips but not to that extent, this was incredibly helpful and well explained. You’ve earned a subscriber.
Thanks!
Guess i’ll be taking it somewhere else.. none of this worked, I appreciate you taking the time to make this video still. Hope it helped plenty of others
Did you find a fix
Great video, I've had blue screen problems for years always after updating my computer. This video helped a ton, keep up the good work!
Thanks!
What was ur issue in this situation
@@hennies i just installed the latest network drivers and i haven’t had a blue screen in months
Reset my pc, I have the most irritable version of this, every 30 seconds it reboots, and reboots and reboots. I’ll keep an update as to what works.
I tried reinstalling drivers, nothing, I removed my graphics card, nothing, deleted duplicated files, nothing, deleted my drivers, nothing, removed and cleaned my ram, nothing, I’ve gone to bios and safe mode to reinstall to the previous version of windows, since they absolutely demanded I download it because of the infamous “packet dump” bullshit, and now my pc is frozen at 38% while trying to restart.
Buy a Mac folks, they’re expensive, but windows is so shitty, so so shitty
@@Bradlalb123 i want to game alos daamn😢 any luck yet?
@@Bradlalb123 Unfortunately you will have to do a clean install of windows to solve this problem. You will have to re-partition your hard drive to do so, set all bios settings to auto and then reinstall windows. If it doesn't work after that you may have a bad hard drive.
@@SUPERBIGMANThe Thanks for that information. My PC just started this problem and I'm looking for a fix. My PC crashes before Windows loads up.
One common pattern was after everyclean installation of Windows the crashes will only start when i installed applications either from the Microsoft store or common applications ive used before with older versions of Windows 10. Most of my applications were 3D CAD and modelling as well as Steam. Finally realized the issue was with incompatible GPU drivers. Whenever i did a clean installation of Windows 10 it would look for display drivers and install the Nvidia app. I assumed the correct drivers were installed. This was the problem. Apps were freezing or crashing to the BSOD and i didnt know what was going on. I tried SFC, DISM, restore points, recovery drives, System Repair Chkdsk. Was going no were. Windows would get so unstable until you cant even boot in and have no option but to do another clean install. So whenever you clean install windows also go to Nvidia and download the appropriate GPU drivers before installing your applications.
Sfc scan now has actually worked for me!
My old laptop was a wreck, but that kept it running an extra little while. It still runs, technically, but is just slow from being ancient.
So helpful, for me it was Norton security causing my crashes, currently no further issues after uninstalling it. Thanks for the great advice, very good video.
Good to hear you got to the bottom of it
Fantastic video, thank you for taking the time to put this information together.
You're welcome 🙂
Brilliant and very user friendly tutorial!! Well done man!!
Thanks!
I've been having this problem for months now! Either my browsers crash, the games I play, or just my whole computer. This has been very annoying for me and I hope that this will help me alot!
Did you find a fix, it's getting very frustrating. I swear I was against Macs but I am starting to believe pcs are all trash.
This was extremely helpful!!! Thank you 🙏🏾 I downloaded the WinDbg and it gave me the code for my Nvidia driver… So now I know specifically what to change.
Glad it helped
My wife was getting a blue screen every ten minutes on Windows 11. I found your video, but before that we disabled part of her Avast which was running simultaneously with another antivirus software. It did not fix it then but the next day, no more blue screens. I think that was causing the problem.
But I learned alot from your video for future reference.
My pc just bluescreened, I waited, then it turned off and put it in bios, I try to exit bios, and it goes to bios again????
Great video, still not fixed. Took it to the professionals...still happening. Happens in the middle while I'm working.
Most likely hardware
@@RainingInRio How do u fix it man. I probably have it aswell
Reset
Where did you take it ?
Best buy
My computer says it will restart after collecting error info, but the percentage stays at 0% and won't restart
exactlyy
Same bro, I’m scared to pull out the plug on my PSU, but that might be my only option.
The media creation tool worked. I've had problems with this brand new computer to drive to distraction, even considering the bluescreen. I'm wiping the ssd and returning the pc. Thanks for your help.
You have a great way for explaining in a simple yet detailed manner. Thank you!
You're very welcome!
You fixed me!! My PC autoinstalled windows 11 and wouldn't boot up after, not even to safemode without crashing. Following your advice, I ran chkdsk c:/f and chkdsk c:/r a couple times each before finally resolving my issues. This morning windows loaded perfectly!! Thank you
Glad it helped!
the thing is my laptop went black and wont turn on after that blue screen crash
Excellent! Thank you so much for such good, logically structured content. It is not easy to translate technical knowledge to us, regular users or semi-geeks, so thanks for that! I watched your video only after (hopefully) finding the solution in the randomized alice-in-wonderland style, but it seems to work. In my case Chrome and some of its extensions or its hardware acceleration feature (still monitoring this) caused Windows to crash basically nonstop, it even affected Window's menu like settings which I couldn't open.
Thanks a lot again! I will definitely come back if my solution will appear to be only temporary.
Thanks!
Thank you, Thank you! Been dealing with this all day and your video gave me the info to fix it. Thank you!
Glad to hear it worked out!
This is so thorough and exact. It seems a lot of thought was put into this video, to make it actually useful as possible. Appreciated!
I got here due to an unresolved BSOD. Unfortunately, in my case, there is NO 'BugCheck' Error entry in the Event-Logs (as suggested on 03:52), but rather (just) a Critical entry with Source='Kernel-Power', Event-ID=41 and Task-Category=(63). The crash always happens after resuming from Sleep. It started 2 weeks a go, on a Windows 10 Pro PC running successfully (with no BSOD) for about 6 years. Could you advise?
Wow! The second to last step fixed my laptop (win 11)💃. Thank You Jesus! Thank you for the video.
Glad it helped!
TH-cam trying to play an ad while trying to fix a pc☠
well there is 20 mins of my life I will never get back
Thanks for these very clear suggestions. I am my own worst enemy here in that I updated Bios after my first blue screen. Lesson Learned. Wish they would hard code a warning not to update Bios after a crash!
I love you man. Even if it goes nowhere these videos are really helpful and makes everything easier to understand.
Thanks. Good luck with fixing it!
Come across this video and had to put thinking cap on for sure. My fix was to many old usb drivers to do with sound recording software from windows8.1. Do have to be confident but this video made the important clues easy to identify the problems with the dreaded BSOD , Thanks for taking the time and hope this video stays up for as long as W10 stays supported.
Glad it was helpful
My laptop switched off from the blue screen and it doesn't want to switch on. Please help.
Same!!! Please tell what to do
thanks. You are good but it is rather technical, I got to a certain point I though I was on the verge to fix my blue screen but then I didn't. I will take it to the shop. My thought, this new hardware that was installed on my computer may not be all compatible :D
Now it works?
What happened at the shop?
3:35 bruh how am I supposed to do that if I’m stuck in blue screen
A bluescreen crash will typically reboot back into Windows automatically once it's saved a memory dump. In the event the bluescreen occurs during the start-up process there's a section in the video with things you can try if Windows wont start. Finally, you can grab the dump file from the faulty device and run the analysis on another computer - it doesn't have to be the same one.
It says 100% complete but can't still go to its home.
Thank you very much been tryna find out what this blue screen was hasn’t popped up since I tried a few other videos but your video got me to where I needed to be thank you
Glad to hear it helped
ive tried everything I've also factory reset my pc 2 times and still does it any help ?
If even windows reset didn't work it is serious hardware issue take it to a professional
Starting to think I just wasted 2 years saving up for a pc just for it to have this problem pls help
Did u fix it
Wat happend
It happens hope you got that fixed in the last 3 years
Ugh it's so annoying I did an update last night before I went to bed, and I check it hours ago to see the BSOD I've tried uninstalling the update and just done everything so annoying!
I managed to fix it but bad to restart the computer, I had to reinstall windows
Ouch. Glad you got it sorted in the end. I like to make regular backups just in case. If something like this happens it means you can restore the backup with all of your apps and data intact. If you're interested in taking a look at some free options there's a video here: th-cam.com/video/mOyQAJqeZ48/w-d-xo.html
@@ProTechShow oh cool! Thanks I'll check it out
after doing all the steps it was surprisingly the razer synapse software which was the culprit in my blue screen of death error. once i deleted it i havent actually gotten any errors and my computer isnt crashing now. Thanks for the help sooo much u saved me so much money !
Glad it helped you 🙂
Helpful so far! Got as far trying to install windbg, but couldn't even install that because 'Something went wrong' - windows can't even check for any updates, giving me the same message.
If you have access to another computer and can grab a copy of the memory dump you can run Windbg on the other computer - might help if it's crashing too quickly to do any troubleshooting.
Awesome help, finally fixed it. Thanks!
Nice! 🙂
Excellent video. really informative and well presented. It really helped me with my issues and I now know what to do next time I have an issue . Thank you so much.
Glad to hear it helped 🙂
Mine says, Stop code: DPC watch_dog violation. 😔
Same bro do you found solution
Awesome I was having an issue where the bSod program I was using was not giving enough information... Thanks for the Link to WhoCrashed Tool! Worked great!
Glad it was useful!
Once, I encountered a BSOD error quite literally out of the blue. This was when I wasn't as familiar with tech as I am now. I watched and looked up an unhealthy amount of guides on how to fix the issue online and ultimately I found around 5 or so scanning tools which apparently fix the software issues on your computer themselves, plus I found out about sfc scan ad driver re-installation. Now, after running all of those in order my problem did seem to be resolved, however before that, in retrospect, I did something rather stupid in running all of the scans and processes at the same time. I am assuming now that the scans started scanning each other causing problems since I instantly got a BSOD. I don't run 7 important processes at the same time anymore, thankfully and I haven't had the issue since. The worst thing is I think it genuinely was just an old driver error from the start making my little scanning experiment utterly meaningless and god knows sfc didn't fix anything.
It's likely. Most BSODs seem to be driver-related. Possibly the tools worked by prodding various parts of your system to see if an error occurred rather than analysing the memory dump... and found the problem but induced a crash in the process. I have a strong distrust of such automated tools. If they just give you recommendations that's fair enough but when it comes to the ones that carry out "repairs" automatically... They often cause more problems than they fix by deleting things they shouldn't.
Happened to me randomly once while using Google docs.
bro you are a pro :) informative thank you
Cheers!
I'm hoping the issue is fixed, but this was a very helpful video regardless of the specific issue I have!
Straight to the point, organized, and overall good structure. Love the video. Thank you ❤
Thanks!
Great video , very easy to follow, and , None of it helped, it's weird, everything seems like it should work. I'm considering just gutting out the whole bloody thing, it's only 3.5 years old !
mine is 3 days old :(
Thank you for this video. Very well explained. There have been some weird blue screens over the years yet fortunately not that many. I find it odd when a antivirus program, which is built to protect your computer, goes ahead and crashes your computer. I won't name names as these products have updated their products to work (hopefully) better. Two of the "big" name products from the late nineties and early 2000s, who still exist, both individually rendered my data unusable and I was forced to do a clean install and try to emotionally get over losing my mp3 collection I had.
Limewire, Audiogalaxy and Kazaa took like a decade to download aiming mostly for that one single song. I had all the many CDs though. If you even renamed a file back in the days it was potentially looked at as dangerous by the "antivirus" program.
For some really strange reason, when i pulled both my rams and plug them back in, it fixed the issue... the blue screen of death got so bad that even using the usb with windows 11 ISO in it cannot get to the screen where you showed it would go, at that point i was sure it was hardware issue. This is a new pc that i built 2 days ago. I already brought it back to the vendor to check on it as it would crash during windows installation. They already replaced my ram sticks under warranty, and now it crashed again, so i was kind of sure the rams sticks are playing up again.
Weirdest BSOD I have seen was caused by using old boot drive with a new system. There were so many different components, not to mention CPU architecture, that Windows said, "F it, I'm out!"
Don't think I'd even bother trying to untangle that one. Reinstall time! I take moving systems as a prompt to do a forced cleanout anyway.
I think I've had this issue as well, but I've run multiple clean installs of Windows 10 on the boot drive and the issue persists.
Finally I fix it .Thank you a lot .✊🏻💙
Glad to hear it helped someone 🙂
Thank you so much, I felt like I’d tried everything and your tips really helped me gain a new understanding and find the root of the problem! Now that I know which driver caused the issue, what’s the easiest way to fix that as it’s not coming up with any driver updates? Again thank you!!
Thanks a million, mate your advice saved my laptop and save £ me from paying out for a new one. And I am what you would call computer illiterate all I know is how to turn my laptop on. But following your clear advice and step-by-step instructions got me my laptop back.
Glad it helped
THANKS A LOT!!!🎉
I had the critical_process_died error and I eventually ended up downloading the windows creation tool on my USB.....I followed the steps and boom! My PC is back....... Thank you so much
Glad it helped!
Excellent video!! Several blue screens appear to me throughout a year, but lately every 15 days; Now it's hotter at home. The event viewer shows one last "atapi" error before the blue screen " \Device\Ide\IdePort3". But the system disk is a Samsung SSD with 20% overprovisioning in good condition, although I have not updated the firmware because in the forums they do not recommend updating it because it can be conflictive in AMD. Same thing with Gigabyte's SATA controllers; They say it's better to leave the Windows ones. The "barracuda" data disk sometimes hangs and after a minute it works again. I am with W7 64, AMD and 32 GB.
Omg thank you for the tipps, because of this i noticed one of my hardware parts had an error that caused it
Glad to hear it helped
Thank you a ton for doing this video. I thought I had bad ram and it turned out it was a power performance change that I made! GEEZ! Problem fixed now I can get back to playing and enjoying it rather than wanting to smash in on the ground.
Glad it helped 🙂
Is it still working?
Excellent presentation. Kudos bro!
Thanks!
Oh, gosh! Tons of thank you for your video! That WhoCrashed tool is a savior! At least I know what caused the crash - Intel RST! Now we can take it from there. Thanks a lot again!
Glad it helped! Intel RST was crashing on one of my devices as well - removed it and no more problems.
To be fair it wasn't 100% RST's fault in my case as the combination of RST version, motherboard, and OS weren't officially supported together.
Thank you so much for your workaround, you indeed saved my life as I was thought that the image will gone until I found your video.. now I relief. Really appreciate…
Glad it helped
@15:15 I cant do anything from the boot menu, even when I select my hard drive to boot from. I am so aggravated.
Thank you. Though didn’t follow all the process but got my laptop working again
Good job! Glad to hear you got it working.
I've been through this issue for so long and finally solved it
you have to go to this process stage by stage
1- Scan your computer by 3rd party antivirus
2- CMD as administrator >> command sfc /scannow and chkdsk
3- Use 3rd party software to update all your drivers including GPU and windows
4- Defrag your disks
5- Stress test your GPU using benchmark softwares
6- test ur ram using Memtest 86
7- Go to your Bios and turn off CMS compatibility support module or Legacy mode and keep it UEFI only
Man, i downloaded file of viruses, when i wanted only try music making software. But thanks for you, i managed recover my files. Thanks alot ❤
Glad it helped

its Thursday , March 21. 2024. My wife's computer just received the Blue Screen tcp.sys driver error 4 times this week. Thank you for your extensive sharing video, We are no teckie computer experts by no means... Will check it out completely and keep you posted on the fix??
Damn that blue screen! lol, what a gigantic pain in the ass. After trouble shooting Everything on my pc, I finally swapped out the power supply and that was the culprit!!

With this mans help you may get there! Good Luck!!!
Im still not yet finished listening and watching this video, and this is the clearest explanation i see.. im gonna ask later on with the channel owner
hello to you sir my problem is that when i play games specially nba 2k22 and 2k23 it crashes and turn off the laptop sometimes with blue screen sometimes black screen and after it restarts sometimes it restarts sometimes it stock with keyboard lighting and black screen.
i follow the 1st step you showed with the event viewer and it has error and the source is not bug check its service control manager 7000 and the other one is application popup 1060
i checked the minidump folder but there is nothing i already checked the advance system settings
@@ddelski12aratia61 The service control manager error shouldn't cause the computer to crash. The application popup could be anything - it's not necessarily a problem, but it depends what the popup said. If you don't have a bugcheck event that suggests it isn't a "Blue Screen of Death" fault.
@@ProTechShow thank you for replying sir until now still wont fix. I did not see any bugs in the event viewer bit it is a bsod, anyways yesterday blue screen took too long ghat i managed to take a photo
@@ProTechShow it says kernel data on page error
I decided to reset my laptop but it wont let me..
In WinDbg, im getting the Module as "Unkown_Module" and Image as "Unkown_Image" , Stop code is 0x0000000a [IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL (a)]
0. Let's assume you have created restore point
1. Open CMD in the Blue screen
2. Type - Notepad and hit open
3. Go to - Windows/System32/Config
4. rename software to software.001
5. rename system to system.001 (you need to hit F5 to see the change in renaming a file)
6. Close the notepad
7. Write Exit in CMD
8. Try to restore PC with one of your earlier restore points. If doesn't work, try to restart PC
my blue screen doesn't look like that when I power it on, it restarts and appears with Esc, f1, f10, f11, and f12 when I turn it back on
The windows app worked, or at least so far. My issue was the product System Mechanic. Got rid of it, crashes have stopped so far. I recommend the windbg app in microsoft store. Made finding issue quick and easy. And this video was a great guidance to make it easier, thank you!
Glad it helped! I don't trust so-called optimisation programs like System Mechanic so I'm not hugely surprised if that was the problem.
@@ProTechShow it may have been an issue because the version i had was downloaded when my PC was at windows 7, either way ive been dealing with this intermittent issue for years now.

Apparently the cause of mine is registry error. Apparently Windows 11 doesn't have the option to restore your registry. Funny, pc was working fine, stepped out for a quick errand, came back, and it was like this. This is on an IBUYPOWER prebuilt, and it's been nothing but problems. I tried literally every option here, as well as reinstalling Windows from a flash drive, and it won't even let me do that. I don't understand.
I really enjoyed this video. I was wondering if you could do a video on how to figure out what happened when your game freezes. I have to manually power down my computer and there is no blue screen.
Thanks. It's probably not a video I could make concisely enough for a generic video as the troubleshooting process is likely to differ game-to-game, depending on what logging and debugging options they have.
