- Are you getting BSOD (blue screen of death) errors when using (or just starting) Windows? This is quite a common occurrence, but not something you necessarily need to be scared of. In today's video, I show you how to first of all figure out what that blue screen error means, and then how to troubleshoot and possibly fix the problem on your own!
Let me know in the comments if you have any questions. I will help in any way I can :)

Thanks!
One of my favorite videos was one of Gates being interviewed as he was introducing a new product and the computer blue-screened. The first time I saw that video I spit out my coffee.
I want to say thank you I was having problem with my computer I had the blue screen and I saw your video and I did what you suggested now my computer is working like brand new and the thing is I'm a disabled veteran vision impaired and I did it thank you again
Hey Scott,
Thanks for the video. As said before always enjoy your explanations of how you do it with ease.
Just a thought on two USB flash drives (2:02) why not use one 128 GB+ and add Ventoy on the USB flash drive.
One USB drive where you can add multiple ISO's that are bootable.
You even made a video on it and had that bonus feature at the end. I know I did it that way with Ventoy and it works like a charm.
Anyway as always! Thanks for your awesome content!
Till next time.
Just took the laptop to IT it’s now been fixed they told me that my hard drive was corrupted probably because of my storage being nearly full but I did bring in my USB adapter just in case which he didn’t use all he did was did a factory reset on my laptop glad I find this video useful in some way thank you!
Good deal! Glad you're back up and running 👍
Oof. One of the biggest and most intimidating subjects in the IT industry. And as usual, you made broke it down into manageable and digestible pieces non-techies can understand. Excellent as always always, my friend.

I need your help! My lenovo ideapad3 did a update and cant get past the Hello sign? i've followed you for a while, Ive restarted it over and over! Help
Hi bro, I've been having a blue screen for months now. It happens often but mostly when I shut down. It flags the vga driver as the error. A kernel mode trap error. I then reinstalled the system and updated everything in the drivers. Microsoft advised me to get a new hdmi cable for my TV which I use as a monitor. The new cable a good quality one didn't work. But the old one does. Weird. Can you advise me
*IMPORTANT TIP:* Just a quick tip for Windows 11 users. Be cautious at best when trying to make your OS look and/or feel like another OS (Windows 7 for example). Those OS-altering apps screw up the Windows registry and in my case, rendered Windows 11 to a useless, blue-screen state. The error code was "CRITICAL PROCESS DIED". I was trying to make my Father's new laptop that runs Windows 11 look and feel like Windows 7 using those OS altering apps like open-shell and a couple of others -- they rendered Windows 11 completely useless after a restart. I know why. It's from messing with the registry too much and it rendered the OS useless with no fix -- other than re-installing the OS. I ended up using Windows 10 instead, as Windows 10 doesn't really need any of those questionable apps to make it look sort of like Windows 7. My Father hates every other OS except Windows 7. He can't let it go, but I can't blame him.
Hey this happened to me do you know how I can fix it? Or is it impossible to fix?
@mamiehugo3052 you'll need to see the stop code first. BSOD can have literally hundreds of causes
@@mamiehugo3052 The only option I had available to me was to re-install Windows 10 Home from a bootable USB drive. But if you have the Windows installation disk that came with your PC/laptop, then you can try and repair the OS using the necessary Windows recovery options. Good-luck. If you have any questions, but please, not too technical though, I'll try my best to answer them.
NOTE: I'm NOT a PC/laptop expert.

I'm trying to factory restore my HP but i don't know the bitlocker code or how to get past that blue screen error in order to factory restore my computer can you help with that and it keep saying no boot device found please
That is 3 different issues (BitLocker, BSOD and no boot device). Sounds like they are tied to a failing or failed hard drive. I would have the drive pulled and scanned for damage
2:56 I fully endorse keeping old computers regardless of the state they are in because chances are now that time has passed and tech got cheaper you can fully upgrade that old brick for pennies and have it working better than it was new.
HP DV5? You think?
@@sl4983 Never heard of it. Not a fan of pre built.
Old...but if it works, it's a spare. End of story 👍
👍
The problem I'm having is computer freezes 2 or 3 times then after that when restarted it works fine I did the scannow and I still have this issue help thank you Ron
I’m currently in a position when I get a different stop code every time bsod happens and i can’t stop any of them in any way. I’ve tried couple of youtube tutorials but it still happens and I’m starting to get sick of it. Anyone going through the same thing?
Is there any pattern to the BSOD? Like they always happen within a minute after boot up? You could try recording the screen with your phone. There's also an option in Windows to not automatically restart after error
I have a question for u regarding utilities. I heard about Glary Utilities 6 and I'm curious of your opinion of the suite.
I don't use it. But I see it often when removing "crap" off a lot of machines. So, I dunno TBH
@@AskYourComputerGuy I use it often, almost daily actually. Malwarebytes doesn't seem to mind it being on the machine so I think I'm safe. It has brought my SSD back to where it should be in regards to free space.
The computer has an all black screen that says, preparing automatic repair. But, it stays that way now for over 1/2 hour.
Eventually you will get advanced options, in which you can try the steps I outline in the video 👍
Do you have any suggestions on a good company for ups backups? I know apc was great back in the day are they still reliable?

Thanks so much@@AskYourComputerGuy
I have a stop code: unmountable boot volume.what should i do in this case my laptop is restarting again and again it is stuck in a loop plz help me .
That code usually means hard drive failure
@@AskYourComputerGuy then what should I do then to solve this issue.will installing a new window will do the work.
Possibly, if it's just a boot record issue. If that fails, then your hard drive probably needs to be replaced

Hey Scott,
I really appreciate you take the time to explain all that. That video itself is a bargain man. But I need your help. In my case, I have the blue screen saying: "Automatic repair couldn't repair you PC" I followed your steps but it prompt me to administrator screen asks me to put in the Admin PW and I don't have the PW. Do you have any idea how to proceed please?
Brian,
Is it a Microsoft account or a local account?
@@AskYourComputerGuy At that point I really don't know how to identify them because any time I'm trying to preform a recovery task from that blue screen it asks me to do it as the admin (PW)
@BrianJDearing then I would focus on creating a local admin account that you could then use for the advanced troubleshooting. Here's how:

You know what? I believe it even before performing the task. Your videos are courses IT for me Scott. You don't even Imagine man!!!
I appreciate that! That video I sent you will let you create a local admin account. Unless you can remember your Microsoft password, you don't have many options left to get back into your PC
Hi IT master, maybe u are able to help me with my problem as I think I've tried everything possible. My laptop went slower and slower and after I've tried reset the pc but getting an bsod with fault TbtBusDrv.sys. can't even get to advanced option while boot.
Should I use my warranty or is there any solution? Laptop is 2023, bought 7 months ago. Issue is probably with thunderbolt. Can u help me please?
Warranty won't be of use until you at least reinstall Windows. If hardware still doesn't work after that, then you have a valid warranty claim 👍
@@AskYourComputerGuy I appreciate your quick respond and will do as u says. Thank you! 👍
I get most BSOD resolved, but now I have 'inaccessible boot device' on windows 11 and just can't find what is causing it there. It is on a new Samsung EVO 980 Pro, 2TB and also have this for on my other EVO 980 ssd. But if I clone that to a sata ssd, the computer does boot. I have tried this on 2 different motherboards Asus and MSI, and that BSOD is on both. I can't get it fixed with any tool. The ssd's are good, because with Windows 10 I don't have this problem.
Little confused here...did you install Windows on the EVO and are still getting the IBD error?
@@AskYourComputerGuy It's an odd problem. Windows 11 initially installs fine, but on reboot I get the BSOD and this on with 2 new SSDs and tried on 2 different motherboards. As an experiment I had cloned an NVMe ssd to a sata ssd and there I was able to continue the install. I then downloaded a new Windows 11 from Microsoft, thinking the iso was corrupted, but the problem remains the same. Then installed a Windows 10 and it works perfectly. I then upgraded to WIndows 11 and then the system works without BSOD. I was told that it could be because of my Intel I7-9700K processor, that there could be a bug there. I'm already used to severe problems with PCs, but never had this error before. Soon I will buy myself a new motherboard with a heavier processor and hope it will work.
What about simply running safe mode and accessing a recent restore point when the computer was running okay? I am not very computer savvy, but using restore point in safe mode has solved many of my problems. Enjoy watching your videos and have subscribed Thank you and best wishes.
That's worth a shot for sure
@@AskYourComputerGuy thank you. Just to let you know I have an old Windows 7 laptop. I ran several saved restore points in the regular Windows 7 application. Nothing worked. I then went into the standard safe mode (without networking) and used system restore from there and it worked. It ran for several hours, but it worked!.... That process restored everything in my desktop. I then had to update my Norton Antivirus Etc. (Just to let you know, my computer got messed up, because I downloaded an update from Apache OpenOffice . That caused the catastrophe.,,, ) Thank you for your contributions and best wishes.
@jayc3110 awesome, glad it finally worked out!
I have Asus vivobook 14 leptop and only included 1TB harddisk, not included ssd , ram 8gb, windows 10 , but when i am using this leptop and continue my working like firebox app and ms office etc etc,, suddenly i see Blue screen issue , after Blue screen i press power button and switch off/on leptop and fixed the problem but next somedays same problem was come .. what to do sir .how i permanently repair the blue screen problem
Impossible to answer without knowing what the BSOD is. It could literally be a hundred different things. Try to get the stop code if you can. If the machine reboots before you can grab it, follow these steps to force the BSOD to stay on screen:
Go to Control Panel
Select System and Security
Select System
Select Advanced system settings
In the Startup and Recovery section, click Settings
Uncheck the Automatically restart box
Click OK
Wanted to tell y'all if the stop code is something like- Drive failure.... it most probably means that your device needs a new motherboard.
Disagree. If the error message says "drive failure, your focus should be on the drive.
Mine are generally from a failed hardware OC, and anything else I'll run a System Restore.
In the last 8 months win 11 has crashed after up dates 4 times. After essential up date. I have stopped general updates for 5 weeks at a time. And after blue screen i have gone back to previous set up. To keep me going. Is there really any point usingwin 11? My wife's win 10 has never seized up once in 3 years. To make matters worse. Thiis time i had to reinstall win 11 and it swallowed my d and e partitions presently attempting to recover them :(
Windows 10 is my preference, but I know people with Windows 11 machines that have no issues. I just don't care for it personally
@@AskYourComputerGuy thanks, u have convinced me.
Спасибо большое! Просто отключила компьютер нажатием кнопки и затем включила . Сработало! До Вашего видео пересмотрела около 20 других, которые не помогли, слишком все сложно. Благодарю!
Sorry, don't speak Russian. Please translate 👍
Just wanted to say thank you! Like you said , I simply restarted my PC and it's helped. I watched a lot of different videos, and it was so hard to understand.

"Clock_Watchdog_Timeout BSOD" is driving me mental. I cannot sort it.
The CLOCK_WATCHDOG_ Timeout error indicates that the CPU is hanging, which is often caused by an unstable overclock or a faulty CPU. This error occurs when a clock interrupt on a secondary processor in a multi-processor system isn't received within the allocated interval. The bug check typically occurs when the processor is deadlocked or nonresponsive.

Unrelenting system crashing with stop code CLOCK_WATCHDOG_TIMEOUT
Oct 28, 2023 - Clock_Watchdog_Timeout means that the CPU is hanging. It's most often seen with an unstable overclock, but can be a faulty CPU. Go into the BIOS ...
Here are some ways to fix the CLOCK_WATCHDOG_Timeout error:
Update drivers
Update BIOS
Disable C1-E in BIOS
Reset BIOS
Remove overclocking feature
Update SSD firmware
Increase RAM
Update Windows
You can use the Device Manager to check for driver updates and install them if available. Type “device manager” in the Start Menu search bar and select the Best Match. Check for any yellow error indicators.
You can also run the Windows Memory Diagnostic Tool to check for memory problems. First, press Win+R. At the Open field in the Run window, type mdsched.exe and click OK.
@@AskYourComputerGuy Many thanks for your reply. I have tried most of your suggestions. The drivers are up to date; the RAM is massive & does not need increasing; Windows is up to date. I have run the diagnostic tool, but will try that again. The 3 x BIOS points are new to me, so I will try them. Are there any guides to doing that? I really am NOT a tecchie!
@maltesetony9030 I'm sure there are plenty on RUclips. I haven't made any specifically 🥲
I recall that when Microsoft introduced Windows 95, Bill Gates was up on the stage doing the dog and pony show and got a BSOD. How em-bear-assing.
After having exactly this issue on my main desktop computer that was impossible to fix, I changed how I configure my computers. I now partition my main drive into C: and D: where C: holds the operating system and apps only and D: is data. This should, in theory, make the data more easily recoverable if C: is completely shot. ( Yes, I do have other backups) Also, for a relatively low cost, I install a second hard drive to which I duplicate the main drive. A quick change of boot order in the BIOS gets things back up and running if C: is unrecoverable. Yes, it may need a lot of updates but that's pretty quick to do. Or boot to the second drive every month or so to update it. Next time the BSOD happens to you, and nothing seems to work, ask yourself how much you would be willing to pay to get back to work in just a few minutes. That might offer some insight into what you might want to do to assist in a quick recovery solution.
Yeah I remember that 😂😂😂

Surface Book 2 user here: Windows likes to BSOD if a program uses the optional dGPU in the keyboard-base, but then somehow the OS loses it because F U.
Something about the nvlddmkm SYS, which apparently is the driver...
this is a real request. I really either got used to , or kind of liked win 10 out of the box. i really dont want 11. i disabled update in adv ops, but should i just comply? Also ive already seen a lot of posts on 2024 updates that are breaking functions to push users towards 11.
If you've already upgraded, you have 10 days to roll back to 10. If you haven't, stay with 10. Windows 11 is too new and mostly cosmetic. I don't care for it much at all and am staying on W10 until the end of days
Having a second computer to trouble shoot with is invaluable. My issue was programs crashing. I decided to reinstall windows. That is where the BSOD happened with impunity. I got so many different BSOD after trying to reinstall, but one code came up a few times, Memory_Stop. Rolled the dice and put in new RAM and everything went just like butter from start to finish. Next time I will use your diagnostic methods before going scorched earth. But I found your useful videos after the fact. I'm now subscribed. Thank you for your great work in helping people.

I fix my blue screen problem (BSOD) by replacing the ram in my HP laptop
I would recover an image we should all have. Easeus, Macrium etc.
I did infact freak out thinking it caught some kinda virus lmao- since inflammation is VERY high where I live in and as of right now and my laptop would be hella costy tryna buy another one as of now \:
would love to know how to retrieve the BSOD stop code when the pc reboots instantly on its own as soon as it blue screens
As described in the video, record your screen with a cell phone so you can pause when the stop code pops up
@@AskYourComputerGuy My BSOD behavior is this: Happens ANYTIME, regardless of "stress" or actions taken. Can happen while idling. No rhyme or reason what so ever. When it occurs, the BSOD only appears for like 2-3 seconds, then the system reboots. There is not time for me to catch the code in any way. Perhaps if I decided to stalk my monitor for an entire day, phone in hand, ready to snap a photo at the exact moment it goes fubar. :)
Is there no way to retrieve the "last error code" once the system has rebooted?
@MattLind-oi5kg not that I'm aware of. You can look through the event log and find it possibly. I assume you've reinstalled Windows at some point? Tried pulling RAM sticks? Sounds like maybe a memory issue but hard to call it without more info
@@AskYourComputerGuy It started happening after a win 11 update. Previously my system ran fine. I have heard that there is some "bug" in win 11 that only affect certain chip sets or whatever, leading to these BSOD's. It can happen at any time (like during the night) and has nothing what so ever to do with "what is currently going on" with the computer. Happens on average one or two times per 24h.
My solution leans towards rinsing win 11 and installing win 10.
Btw, cheers for hanging out in these comments, answering peoples questions.

Naturally, I'd suspect there is something in the game that's causing the issue then. Depends on the source of the game, driver incompatibility, your GPU settings or hardware, etc. You said yourself, the problem only happens when you play the game - start there, I'd start with display driver updates

Yep a long time ago and many times on my old XP
I had an XP Netbook
@@sl4983 XP OS
@@sl4983 What is that
?
I'm pretty computer savvy. The fact that I'm looking up solutions is proof of my situation being stupid.
So I was using my PC, windows 10, got the notification reminding me that windows 10 is going to be losing support. So I decided to go ahead and downgrade to windows 11.
Going through the process of seeing why it says my computer isn't eligible, I find out windows 11 won't install on a drive formatted to anything other than gpt.
So I find a tutorial to convert it without wiping the drive. I follow it and it breaks my computer, getting blue screens galore, so I figure I'll send my most important files to another drive, format the drive to gpt, and install Windows 11.
It didn't fix it, I had many problems. I figured it was a windows 11 problem. I tried another drive that has windows 11 I've used before, and it worked until it updated.
So I put the old drive back in and install Windows 10. Which is where I am now, but I'm still getting blue screens. I'm very frustrated right now.
Start with installing Windows 10 clean. Stay with a local account if possible, no updates. Wipe any existing partitions. I can help you from there 👍
@@AskYourComputerGuy I did that today, about 30 minutes ago in fact. I'm not quite sure how but it must be a hardware issue, I've tried 2 drives and 2 operating systems and I'm getting the same problems. The fresh windows 10 I installed after deleting the partitions, cleaning the drive in the command console, and converting to MBR won't even install chrome. There was an error, I restarted the PC and there was an error again. At this point I think I'm just going to use a backup PC until can order new parts and just build a new PC. Perhaps I'll try a new motherboard first or a different graphics card to make sure they aren't the issues.
I'd try to record the error code, but it's so random when it blue screens.

@@rubykaufman5361 Try using a different thumb drive, preferably one that is 32GB or less.
What actually causes this? I just used it not long ago 🤔
Windows. Unstable. Bad code. Is what it is.
What if you’re getting a black screen??
At what point?
@@AskYourComputerGuy after pressing the on button which lights and proceeds to the initial screen, it goes blank once windows icon attempts to appear for startup mode
And I forgot to mention, in safe mode you have no internet. Windows does not want you repairing your own pc. Garbage OS.
👍
I haven't had a BSOD for twenty years.
i got the problem of blue screen (when i slap my laptop slowly or very hard, it show me blue screen🤣😂😂 then i test what causing it i got hardware problem and my laptop hinge was broken that causing the problem now i got repaired)
👍
I keep both in the toolbag
Awesome!
THE VERY WORST THING about BSOD is losing work not saved. 🤯 😡. But I only have myself to blame. So EVERY program I use is set to 5 min auto-update, or I try to remember to do a manual save 😊. That's what 40 years of MS distrust does to you.
That is the Microsoft Windows life 😂
Please can you help me with any computer (laptop )
I will appreciate any one 🙏
Please am sincerely begging
God will bless you...
Thanks 🤗
I guess reset than?
I don't know the context of the problem...but if you've tried everything else to repair the problem, a reset is next. If that doesn't work, a clean Windows reinstall will be necessary
@@AskYourComputerGuy my computer says the iqrl or less than stop code blue screen message.
Sorry to be off-topic, but I have such a hell of a time with Microsoft. Hotmail in particular. I have had two accounts for decades--one where I send the dubious stuff, or have newsletters come to me, and the other for friends and family. Lately, you start an account up and it gives you a second to choose something you want to read ... and then it spins up an advertisement for Microsoft 365 or something. Drives me nuts! Okay, but that's just annoying. The other thing is, if I want to go to the *other account ... type in the address @hotmail, then click to put in the password ... I'm still signed in on Microsoft, but it cannot get me to the e-mails. Sends me to MSN! I think it must be a cookies issue ... Any idea??
My first time experiencing windows blue screen of death 😅
I can't even remember my first BSOD, but I remember how it made me feel.
Videotdr failure for everything, no amount of update can fix this $#it. Not even older driver versions.
I have this problem since windows 11.
Huh? A few months back you recommened Hirens with 2 sticks ... then you recommended Ventoy with 1 stick ..., but now you've reverted to plugging Hirens and 2 sticks??? What gives? Didn't Ventoy wanna keep their sponsorship 😅😅😅.
Ventoy didn't sponsor me. It's free. I did the 2 usb video specifically for these two utilities. Ventoy can be used for them as well, but also to load any other ISO. These are separate videos because some people ONLY need the utilities. Some people want to experiment with multiple ISO files 👍
@@AskYourComputerGuy
No worries ☺. I was just being a little bit facetious! Since then, upon your recommendation, I bought a 128gb USB and now put EVERY ISO, several OSs, including Tales, and all my back up files on it. I stick = everything. And I even ghosted it for an offsite back up. Happy boy. No point in having all backups all in a house which might get robbed, burned, flooded. I keep the second one in a PO Box.
DV5 is just a blue screen, nothing else
No error code or stop code? No words of any kind?
@@AskYourComputerGuy No, just blue, when power is turned on. Stays blue. No words at all.
I know how to fix any Windows BSOD, Format c:, install Linux. There!
👍
5:55 All the computer problems are either hardware or software… Everyone knows this 😂
Actually, it's not about pointing out "the obvious". It's about coming up with a logical troubleshooting strategy. If something is obviously hardware, chasing a potential software problem is a waste of time. Troubleshooting 101, but your average person may not know the difference or what to look for to eliminate one or the other.
Mac is superior. Never have a problem with Mac OS
Unless you don't know squat about Apple products. Then MacOS is a hot mess. But you're not wrong 😂
How to fix windows is to wipe the drive and install Linux.
That may improve the user's computing experience, but it does not "fix" anything. Better or worse, most people use Windows and either can't, don't want to or don't know how to use Linux. If they've even heard of it. I'll be making a video soon about whether the average Windows user can easily switch and use Linux 👍
Windows is the absolute worst OS. Tried every repair you mentioned, nothing helps. Windows is 50% working, 50% repairing. Ask anyone who is a user, not a pro user. Windows is a con. It's just a way for Windows repair experts to make a living. Linux is free, and a million times better.
👍
bla bla bla , you talk too much rubbish and so little on how to fix the problem. you could said all this in 2 min
You have to understand that not everyone knows what YOU may already know. The majority of my audience are novice users and need to understand the "why" and the "what" before the "how". I'm sure there are plenty of other channels that you can watch that are more commensurate with your skill level. Thank you for the comment.
@@AskYourComputerGuy Or, not everyone thinks they know more than they do! If I knew enough for a 2 min tutorial about diagnosing a blue screen I wouldn't wast my 2 min on it. Some of the problems with explanations these days are they are extremely vague and I appreciate a full explanation. So if this guy knows so much why did he waste 10+ min of his life watching it?
@@AskYourComputerGuy It's okay Scott, I really learned a lot from watching ur vid !! I actually didn't know some things that you've talked abt
