In my first post, a little share experiences on how to overcome the Blue Screen on Windows Vista, In Windows Vista, blue screen error or, blue screen of death (commonly known as BSOD), is indeed the scariest error you can ever encounter. The computer will restart in a few seconds after the blue screen of death shows up.
eg in the example image below:
Many possibilities for things like this happen because of some errors due to software or hardware on your computer. Including the following:
- Corrupt Registry - vista blue screen of death error The registry is the lifeblood of your system. It is a single place to store information such as what hardware is attached, what system options have been selected, how computer memory is set up, and what application programs are present when the operating system starts. So obviously when something goes wrong with the registry, it can cause major problems including the blue screen of death. Unfortunately, Windows Vista does not have a built-in mechanism to fix the corrupted registry errors. You should clean your registry problems with software to clean or repair the registry, for example: CCleaner you can download here.
- Error when installing new hardware on your computer, for example such as the installation of VGA, RAM, Soundcard, etc..

(if exist) the filename of the driver or module that causes the
