3
00:00:07,799 --> 00:00:16,570
unpleasant surprises you can encounter while computing few are more jarring

4
00:00:13,550 --> 00:00:19,570
and the sudden blue screen of death and

5
00:00:16,570 --> 00:00:21,980
let's not kid ourselves that cute little

6
00:00:19,570 --> 00:00:26,390
frowny face they added in Windows 8 really doesn't help what's almost as

7
00:00:24,830 --> 00:00:31,640
frustrating is losing your work though is the fact that you get hardly any

8
00:00:28,670 --> 00:00:36,800
information about why your computer suddenly decided to stop working like

9
00:00:34,489 --> 00:00:41,540
Dennis on a Friday afternoon all you get is some mysterious error code thankfully

10
00:00:39,470 --> 00:00:46,039
Techquickie is here to save the day with a list of some of the most common

11
00:00:43,880 --> 00:00:52,910
blue screen error codes along with their meanings and some possible fixes

12
00:00:48,519 --> 00:00:56,210
starting with irq not less or equal as

13
00:00:52,910 --> 00:00:59,120
it turns out I RQ l stands for interrupt

14
00:00:56,210 --> 00:01:03,649
request level which usually means that a program tried to access a piece of

15
00:01:01,550 --> 00:01:09,050
memory that was being protected by the operating system for some sort of

16
00:01:05,630 --> 00:01:12,170
important task and since device drivers

17
00:01:09,050 --> 00:01:14,060
usually have to access these parts of

18
00:01:12,170 --> 00:01:19,640
memory since they interface with your operating system and the actual hardware

19
00:01:16,670 --> 00:01:25,880
this error typically indicates a driver issue so try updating or reinstalling

20
00:01:23,330 --> 00:01:31,670
any drivers that might be problematic of course this could also indicate a

21
00:01:28,760 --> 00:01:37,220
problem with the hardware itself perhaps a graphics card that's aggressively

22
00:01:33,800 --> 00:01:40,160
overclocked and by the way the related

23
00:01:37,220 --> 00:01:44,420
page Fault in non paged area can indicate a similar problem but those

24
00:01:42,590 --> 00:01:49,640
aren't the only messages that indicate a hardware error if you see data bus error

25
00:01:47,420 --> 00:01:53,750
it doesn't mean you have a broken Volkswagen parked in your driveway

26
00:01:50,990 --> 00:01:59,180
instead this probably means you have an issue with your memory so run a memory

27
00:01:56,240 --> 00:02:03,980
check utility like mem test 86 plus or try simply pulling out one of your RAM

28
00:02:01,850 --> 00:02:08,300
sticks and then swapping for the other one to see if one of them has died I

29
00:02:06,560 --> 00:02:12,410
mean or you can swap out both if you have extras on hand it's entirely

30
00:02:10,340 --> 00:02:17,840
possible that we are single-handedly causing the continuation of the global

31
00:02:14,720 --> 00:02:20,000
DRAM shortage so sorry about that this

32
00:02:17,840 --> 00:02:24,470
may well solve the problem and if it doesn't well it's likely that you have a

33
00:02:21,980 --> 00:02:30,500
driver or Hardware issue elsewhere in your system another memory be saw memory

34
00:02:28,040 --> 00:02:35,270
management can often be resolved by going into your BIOS and making sure

35
00:02:32,690 --> 00:02:39,800
that your RAM settings are correct this particular error can pop up if you've

36
00:02:37,220 --> 00:02:44,300
overclocked your RAM or if it's not getting the right amount of voltage on

37
00:02:41,840 --> 00:02:49,400
the subject of overclocking machine check exception is often caused by a CPU

38
00:02:47,420 --> 00:02:54,380
that is overclocked to the point of instability so try bumping it back to

39
00:02:52,340 --> 00:02:58,610
stock speed to see if the error goes away and then if you do choose to

40
00:02:56,450 --> 00:03:03,050
overclock again be a little bit more conservative please but then suppose

41
00:03:00,920 --> 00:03:08,330
your memory and your processor are fine and you get an error that says fat file

42
00:03:05,720 --> 00:03:14,570
system don't get out the exercise bike just yet any file system error whether

43
00:03:11,150 --> 00:03:16,790
it's fat or NTFS simply means that

44
00:03:14,570 --> 00:03:22,070
you've got some kind of a problem with your hard drive or SSD

45
00:03:18,430 --> 00:03:25,460
now this could simply be caused by a

46
00:03:22,070 --> 00:03:28,100
driver issue but there also might be a

47
00:03:25,460 --> 00:03:33,890
more serious physical issue with your disk so if you see this error backup

48
00:03:31,000 --> 00:03:39,440
anything important and run a disk check utility followed by a diagnostic utility

49
00:03:36,650 --> 00:03:44,990
like CTools from the manufacturer of your drive to ensure that it is safe to

50
00:03:41,930 --> 00:03:47,270
continue to use other kinds of discs

51
00:03:44,990 --> 00:03:52,280
problems can produce the inaccessible boot device blue screen that could be

52
00:03:50,090 --> 00:03:57,380
caused by a corrupt sector which can sometimes be fixed by running Windows

53
00:03:54,110 --> 00:04:00,590
startup repair or simply by choosing the

54
00:03:57,380 --> 00:04:04,160
wrong disc mode in your BIOS if it's set

55
00:04:00,590 --> 00:04:06,410
to IDE try changing it to AHCI and vice

56
00:04:04,160 --> 00:04:11,600
versa of course there are other errors that don't have super obvious causes

57
00:04:08,780 --> 00:04:15,709
such as system thread exception not handled if you see this common message

58
00:04:13,970 --> 00:04:20,450
or another error code that you don't recognize see if your blue screen of

59
00:04:18,320 --> 00:04:25,910
death gives you a file name that you can jot down before the PC reboots this can

60
00:04:23,600 --> 00:04:32,650
give you a clue as to what driver or program is misbehaving so that you can

61
00:04:28,430 --> 00:04:35,600
update reinstall or remove it completely

62
00:04:32,650 --> 00:04:39,710
so we're out of time for now but let us know in the comments if there's another

63
00:04:37,160 --> 00:04:45,569
b-side you'd like us to cover that keeps coming back for you like a bad case of

64
00:04:41,800 --> 00:04:47,919
the shingles my roof has shingles

65
00:04:45,569 --> 00:04:53,169
you know what isn't like a rash that goes away though private Internet access

66
00:04:50,259 --> 00:04:57,970
not only does P IA v pn work on up to five devices at once --is by hiding your

67
00:04:56,110 --> 00:05:01,630
true IP address and allowing you to bypass geo restrictions and censorship

68
00:04:59,919 --> 00:05:05,889
by making it appear as though you are connecting from somewhere else it also

69
00:05:03,310 --> 00:05:10,270
blocks unwanted connections to help prevent attacks it Otto blocks all

70
00:05:07,990 --> 00:05:15,639
traffic if the VPN disconnects and it keeps your data out of the hands of

71
00:05:11,889 --> 00:05:17,349
snoops and advertisers P ia supports

72
00:05:15,639 --> 00:05:21,099
multiple VPN protocols and encryption levels allowing you to dial in the exact

73
00:05:19,360 --> 00:05:24,970
level of protection you need and they've got apps for Windows Mac Android iOS

74
00:05:22,690 --> 00:05:30,789
Linux and a Chrome extension with support for more platforms coming soon

75
00:05:26,889 --> 00:05:32,770
so check out bia they've got over 3,000

76
00:05:30,789 --> 00:05:37,150
servers in 28 countries and they don't log your activity we're gonna have them

77
00:05:34,509 --> 00:05:39,310
linked in the video description so thanks for watching guys like dislike
