How to Fix Blue Screen of Death

How many times per day are you forced to reboot your PC because of Blue Screen of Death error? I used to restart my computer at least twice per day right after seeing that damn blue screen with some unknown to me values. It has been 3 weeks now I have not seen BSoD and I am starting to forget how it looks. But let me return to one month back before I tell you how I managed to fix Blue Screen of Death error.

I do not know what could have led to BSoD, but about a month ago I saw that blue screen for the first time. I had no clue what it was and just restarted my computer. I think it was next day when I encountered it again. And then again… And again…

I went to google and started searching for following terms that I saw on the screen: “irql_not_less_or_equal”, “0×0000000A” and “physical memory dump”.  This is how I figured out that I am dealing with Blue Screen of Death error.

Obviously, next step was to look for BSoD error fix. I tried several suggestions from trying to defragment hard drives in safe mode to uninstalling recently installed software. Nothing worked. I was thinking about formatting my hard drive and reinstalling Windows, but I had so many programs installed and just a thought about having to reinstall them all again forced me to look for a solution. And I found it.

During my search for solution I ran into registry cleaner called Registry Easy. Its website claimed the software can fix blue screen errors and I decided to give it a shot.

I downloaded the software through “Start FREE Scan” button, installed it and started scanning my hard drives. It found over 2000 errors. I do not remember the exact number, but it was over 2000. I was hoping that one of them was linked with BSoD and can be fixed with the software. I clicked on “Repair” button to fix the errors and… became a bit disappointed.

I thought it was free software. When I went back to its website, I found that it was a trial and that it offers FREE scan and will remove only some selected problems until it is registered. In other words, I had to pay for it. Good marketing move. Would not you want to fix 2000 errors after you find out about their existance?

I was desperate and decided to purchase 1 year license for $39.95. They also offered lifetime license for $59.95, but I wanted to test it first without paying extra $20. Now, three weeks later I regret that I have not purchased lifetime license… It worked!

It has been 3 weeks I have not seen Blue Screen of Death. This program fixed over 2000 errors on my computer even thought I have no clue what they were. But I noticed one more thing. My computer became faster. Usually, it would slow down after several hours of operation with various applications. I had to wait several seconds before new window opens. So annoying. But since I started using Registry Easy on regular basis, I noticed improvement in my PC performance.

Final thoughts. I do not know what caused BSoD, but I managed to fix it. I do not know if that software will resolve your BSoD, but it helped me to fix Blue Screen of Death. If you tried to fix BSoD, but have not found a solution yet, I would strongly recommend you to try Registry Easy. Good luck!
