# Blue Screen Errors on Windows? How to Find What’s Crashing Your PC

Write down the stop code, then think about what changed: a new driver, device or update. Most repeat blue screens come from a driver, and the crash dump files Windows saves show which one; failing memory or drives cause most of the rest.

- **Where:** Remote, anywhere in the U.S.

- **Quote:** Fixed price before work starts

## Try this first

- Write down the stop code shown on the blue screen
- Undo the most recent driver, device or app change
- Install pending Windows updates and the maker’s latest drivers
- As administrator, run sfc /scannow and then DISM /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth
- Run Windows Memory Diagnostic
- Check the drive’s health and back up your files

Common causes

- A buggy or mismatched driver, often graphics, Wi-Fi, docking stations or antivirus
- A Windows update that didn’t install cleanly
- Failing memory
- A failing drive
- Overheating or overclocking

## When it’s more than a quick fix

If blue screens keep coming after updates and checks, or Windows won’t start at all, back up your files before trying anything else.

Rarely. It’s almost always a driver, update or hardware problem.

No. A single crash happens. Repeated crashes with the same stop code point to a cause that can usually be fixed.
