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.
