Windows Vista is no stranger to the Blue Screen of Death. The BSOD error screen has been a common problem seen in Windows based operating systems since the Windows 95.
The BSOD is shown as a warning to alert you to a problem. You may be able to reboot the system after the crash and continue working for months before seeing the error again, but you will see it again and one of those times you will not be able to recover from it.
The best solution is to act quickly to the Blue Screen of Death error. Find out what the problem is and resolve it quickly. You can find the problem in one of three different places, the configuration, the memory, or the registry.
The configuration is normally a simple fix; you can update your drivers or uninstall any newly installed hardware or software.
The memory is simple to diagnose, you can remove one stick at a time and reboot, if you have a bad piece of memory, your system will not boot up to it.
The registry is more complex, and if you are doing it manually you can be in for some tedious work. You can quickly resolve the Blue Screen of Death error that is caused by a corrupt or cluttered Windows registry by downloading and installing a registry cleaner from the internet. Make sure that you create a backed up copy of the registry before you attempt any repairs or make any changes to the registry in Windows Vista.
