Stop error screen on laptop?

Question

My laptop showed a screen that said "A problem has been detected and Windows has been shut down to prevent damage to you computer" ....How do I get rid of that screen??

Answer 1

BSOD (blue screen of death)

the stop error something like 0x0000007c etc is very important in prognosis of what the problem is. Every stop error signifies a specific problem related to hard disk, drivers, software etc.

Google for that specific Stop error and you would get results as what to do.

check for the text that is in Capital letters for eg

KMODE_EXCEP etc

you can search for that too.

Most of the times you need a Format and Reinstall.

Answer 2

Does this happen all the time? If so then there isnt much you can do....if it was just once, dont worry about it.

If this happens everytime you turn on computer, you need to reinstall Windows.

Step 1: Get Ubuntu

Step 2: Use the "Live CD" to get access to your hard drive and back up all our vital files onto a usb drive (pics, docs, music)

Step 3: Either Re-install Windows, or install ubuntu.
