unpleasant surprises you can encounter while computing few are more jarring
and the sudden blue screen of death and
let's not kid ourselves that cute little
frowny face they added in Windows 8 really doesn't help what's almost as
frustrating is losing your work though is the fact that you get hardly any
information about why your computer suddenly decided to stop working like
Dennis on a Friday afternoon all you get is some mysterious error code thankfully
Techquickie is here to save the day with a list of some of the most common
blue screen error codes along with their meanings and some possible fixes
starting with irq not less or equal as
it turns out I RQ l stands for interrupt
request level which usually means that a program tried to access a piece of
memory that was being protected by the operating system for some sort of
important task and since device drivers
usually have to access these parts of
memory since they interface with your operating system and the actual hardware
this error typically indicates a driver issue so try updating or reinstalling
any drivers that might be problematic of course this could also indicate a
problem with the hardware itself perhaps a graphics card that's aggressively
overclocked and by the way the related
page Fault in non paged area can indicate a similar problem but those
aren't the only messages that indicate a hardware error if you see data bus error
it doesn't mean you have a broken Volkswagen parked in your driveway
instead this probably means you have an issue with your memory so run a memory
check utility like mem test 86 plus or try simply pulling out one of your RAM
sticks and then swapping for the other one to see if one of them has died I
mean or you can swap out both if you have extras on hand it's entirely
possible that we are single-handedly causing the continuation of the global
DRAM shortage so sorry about that this
may well solve the problem and if it doesn't well it's likely that you have a
driver or Hardware issue elsewhere in your system another memory be saw memory
management can often be resolved by going into your BIOS and making sure
that your RAM settings are correct this particular error can pop up if you've
overclocked your RAM or if it's not getting the right amount of voltage on
the subject of overclocking machine check exception is often caused by a CPU
that is overclocked to the point of instability so try bumping it back to
stock speed to see if the error goes away and then if you do choose to
overclock again be a little bit more conservative please but then suppose
your memory and your processor are fine and you get an error that says fat file
system don't get out the exercise bike just yet any file system error whether
it's fat or NTFS simply means that
you've got some kind of a problem with your hard drive or SSD
now this could simply be caused by a
driver issue but there also might be a
more serious physical issue with your disk so if you see this error backup
anything important and run a disk check utility followed by a diagnostic utility
like CTools from the manufacturer of your drive to ensure that it is safe to
continue to use other kinds of discs
problems can produce the inaccessible boot device blue screen that could be
caused by a corrupt sector which can sometimes be fixed by running Windows
startup repair or simply by choosing the
wrong disc mode in your BIOS if it's set
to IDE try changing it to AHCI and vice
versa of course there are other errors that don't have super obvious causes
such as system thread exception not handled if you see this common message
or another error code that you don't recognize see if your blue screen of
death gives you a file name that you can jot down before the PC reboots this can
give you a clue as to what driver or program is misbehaving so that you can
update reinstall or remove it completely
so we're out of time for now but let us know in the comments if there's another
b-side you'd like us to cover that keeps coming back for you like a bad case of
the shingles my roof has shingles
you know what isn't like a rash that goes away though private Internet access
not only does P IA v pn work on up to five devices at once --is by hiding your
true IP address and allowing you to bypass geo restrictions and censorship
by making it appear as though you are connecting from somewhere else it also
blocks unwanted connections to help prevent attacks it Otto blocks all
traffic if the VPN disconnects and it keeps your data out of the hands of
snoops and advertisers P ia supports
multiple VPN protocols and encryption levels allowing you to dial in the exact
level of protection you need and they've got apps for Windows Mac Android iOS
Linux and a Chrome extension with support for more platforms coming soon
