Blue Screen of Death

[Speakup]

So I was using my desktop and was in the middle of doing something and all the sudden the screen goes blue. Nothing but a nice blue screen. I quickly googled what to do and it came back with start up in safe mode with cmd prompt. That did not work same blue screen. Next I tried system recovery that did nothing for me, but a blew screen. Any ideas on how to fix the issue or determine if it is hardware?

Thanks for the help in advanced.

I saw that a year back, I had to format my C:

You can try to reformat, if you're still getting it then it's a hardware problem.

Run in safe mode because BSOD's sometimes occur because of driver errors. Happened to me

It wont run in safe mode. I have a lot of files that are important on there. Should I try getting an 3.5in enclosure and see if I can get the files off it?

I had that once just reformatted with the disk and all was fixed.

Get another HDD, install an OS use it to boot (or find another HDD with an OS) and then copy all your files off of your old HDD then reformat

What the fuck you lot on about, dont go buy new hardware until you know what's exactly causing the problem.

Ok heres what you want to do.

1. On the BSOD, They issue an error code witch looks like "Stop 0x00000079 (...)", Write that down and post it.

2. where i have put (...) This is usually a readable constant of the error, does it ring any bells with hardware or software ?

3. That error code, past it in google like "(CODE) Windows Error" or "site:microsoft.com (CODE) Error"

and see if theres any information pages available.

Send us links on what you find!

-- Other stuff you can do --

Bare bone your PC:

Remove all external hardware (hard drives, External GFX Card,Sound Card,Wifi Card) etc, and then try boot and test, if evverything is ok, place back in 1 peice at a time to see what exactly is causing there error

Peace
