Study Notes
- Windows stop errors, also known as Blue Screen of Death (BSOD), occur when a problem is detected and the system needs to be restarted.
- Reasons for Windows stop errors include hardware issues, poorly written drivers, or bad applications.
- Hardware troubleshooting steps: check for bad connections, try removing and reseating hardware, use hardware diagnostics.
- Software troubleshooting steps: use the last known good configuration, perform a system restore, roll back driver versions, start in Safe Mode.
- A slow or sluggish system can be diagnosed using Task Manager to check CPU usage, memory usage, and system resources.
- Performance issues can be caused by outdated operating systems, insufficient disk space, overheating, or malware.
- The operating system not found or missing issue can occur due to improperly configured bootloaders or multiple partitions.
- Startup Repair can help fix bootloader issues and rebuild the boot configuration database.
- If the main bootloader is missing, the system may be trying to boot from a USB drive instead.
- Hardware problems can be diagnosed using Device Manager and Event Viewer.
- Services that fail to start can be resolved by starting them manually, checking permissions, and checking dependencies.
- Application problems can be troubleshooted by checking the Windows Event Viewer and Reliability Monitor, and uninstalling and reinstalling the application.
- Memory issues can be resolved by closing memory-intensive applications or adjusting virtual memory settings.
- USB devices require endpoints, and exceeding the total number of endpoints available on the system can cause issues.
- Troubleshooting USB device issues: move the device to a different USB interface, check for compatibility with the USB controller.
