Windows 7 troubleshooter. Sound problems

The appearance of errors in Windows 7 for inexperienced users becomes an insurmountable problem. However, absolutely all software errors can be easily corrected by yourself, without seeking help from specialists. Let's take a closer look at how to fix errors on a Windows 7 computer.

BSoD is the most common and serious error that occurs in Windows. The session is suddenly interrupted and it becomes impossible to recover the lost data. The only way to get out of the screen of death is to restart your computer.


In 90% of cases, a blue screen on a computer is not a one-time occurrence. Users may encounter an error at any time, even if there is no load on the RAM. Causes of BSODs:

    Bugs in NT architecture. Because of them, the computer cannot cope with multitasking and, as a result of simultaneous work with several programs, a blue screen appears;

    Incorrect program execution. In some cases, the compiler stops interacting with encrypted or malicious code, resulting in an error;

    Insufficient amount of PC resources: little free hard disk space, not enough RAM, lack of drivers for motherboard components.

How to fix errors on a Windows 7 computer? To fix BSoD yourself, you need to take a set of actions to optimize your PC. First, clean your computer of unused programs through the "Control Panel". After this action, it is advisable to restart the computer so that all temporary application files are automatically deleted.


The next step is to clean up the hard drive. Regular occurrences of a blue screen are directly related to the lack of space on the system disk. Clear it of temporary data and other garbage through the "Properties" window.


After removing programs, and especially games, “empty entries” remain in the computer’s system registry or erroneous settings are stored, which in the future can cause errors during the operation of other applications. The only option that will help you avoid errors related to the registry is to regularly clean its contents.


Recall that users who have not previously worked with the registry should first familiarize themselves with its functionality. In no case should you delete entries that you are not sure of the “uselessness” of. The Regedit system utility is a hierarchical database of all OS settings and parameters. Incorrect configuration of these data can cause a huge number of additional errors.


To work with the registry, it is better to use proven utilities. This is much faster than the manual cleaning method, and also much more efficient.

Sudden shutdown of programs

Another category of errors in Windows 7 is the spontaneous shutdown of programs. This event can be affected by the registry, system libraries, or driver software. Performing the following steps regularly will help resolve the issue:

    Recovery and registration of DLL libraries;

    Installing and updating drivers for all computer components;

    Scanning a PC with an antivirus or firewall.

Computer accelerator - automatic diagnostics and error correction

Do not know how to fix errors on a Windows 7 computer yourself? In this case, you need to use third-party utilities that allow you to eliminate all categories of operating system errors.


Computer Accelerator is one of the most popular programs for diagnosing all kinds of problems that can only be found in Windows 7. Using this software, you will not need to clear memory, set up startup or work with the registry yourself. Accelerator functions.

Windows is the most popular operating system used by 92% of computer and laptop users.

And each of them at least once encountered one or more types of system errors.

Windows system errors- This is a generalized name for all system messages that report any problems in the operation of the OS.

Since errors in the system are not uncommon, the user needs to know how to solve a particular problem, be able to restore the normal functioning of the system without negative consequences.

Not all errors are critical and it is not always necessary to call the wizard, in most cases you can solve the problem yourself.

What is the Windows 7 syslog

In the Windows operating system, starting from version 7, there is a function for tracking important events, all of them are collected in a special log.

It is there that you can find information about all system errors.

The log includes information about all failures: programs that do not start, violations in the driver, as well as incorrect connection of devices.

The log saves all events in chronological order, allows you to monitor the system, diagnose errors and, if possible, eliminate them.

When the event log service is started, it collects and archives all important changes and incidents.

Journal features include:

  • Ability to view archived data.
  • Create subscriptions for specific incidents to work with in the future.
  • Event filters for applying them in the system.
  • Configure the computer to perform certain actions when an error occurs.

The system log is available on any device running on the Windows 7 operating system, and its correct use will allow you to avoid many errors, including fatal ones.

How to fix all errors on Windows 7

Video instruction

Where is the magazine

To open the event log, click on "Start", in the lower left corner of the screen, then on the "control panel" and in the menu that opens, select "Administration" and Event Viewer.

Now click on "event viewer" and see the following screen:

Windows 7 operating systems provide 2 types of event log: system archives and application service log.

The archives contain all information about incidents in the system, and the service log contains notes about their work in general.

In order for the user to control and manage data, special sections have been created, the “view” tab is divided into the following items:

  • Applications section stores events of a specific program. For example, an anti-virus program stores information about problems found and neutralized viruses there, and mail services store a history of correspondence.
  • Installation section. When you install any application or driver, some data is stored in the Windows 7 operating system, which is later located in the installation section.
  • System. This section contains information about all events in the OS, application failures, installation failures, software and device updates, incorrectly connected external devices, and so on.
  • Security. In the section information about the use of administrator rights, the logout and login history of the user is stored.

All errors and events stored in the log have certain characteristics: sources, level, event code, time and date, and users.

Sources- These are applications or drivers that affected the failures in the system.

Event code- a set of numbers that technicians need to troubleshoot problems. A normal PC user will not be able to use the code.

Level is the severity of the error. There are 6 levels of danger in total: message, warning, error, dangerous error, monitoring of error correction operations, audit of unsuccessful actions.

date and time– note the moment when a message or failure occurred.

Users- shows which user could influence the appearance of the error. It can be not only real users, but also third-party servers, systems and programs.

To control the operation of the Windows 7 system, the user needs to go to the section Event Viewer.

All information about the state of programs, drivers and the system is collected here and all errors are reflected.

A table is also presented that shows the incidents and related characteristics.

How to use the magazine

A PC user can independently prevent many system failures, for this he needs to view the log section from time to time "Applications" .

In this section, you can not only see all the programs and recent changes associated with them, but also select the necessary action from the proposed ones.

In chapter "Applications" you will see information about all incidents, their severity, type, as well as the date of occurrence, and you will be able to take action in a timely manner so as not to aggravate the situation.

Find section "Applications" It's easy, it's in the log menu on the left and it's called "application log", as shown in the screenshot:

But there is no need to worry - most of the errors recorded in the log are not critical and do not pose a danger to the computer.

You can ignore some of them at all, even on a properly working PC or laptop, the system may give errors.

It may seem that the event log is only useful to system administrators, but this is not always the case.

As long as your computer is fully operational, the log is really not needed, since usually no one pays attention to minor system failures.

But as soon as serious problems begin, the log will help you find information about the causes of their occurrence and eliminate errors yourself, or with the help of a specialist.

For example, if the computer began to reboot frequently, or issue "window of death"(we will talk about it in more detail below), then it is necessary to determine the cause as soon as possible.

You can look at entries about unsuccessful system or driver launches in the log, and you can find a lot of information on the Internet by the number of the error ID.

In this case, to get help on this failure from Google or Yandex, enter Event 720_ERROR in the search box and you will find instructions on how to fix it.

Also, the event log will tell you when your computer was turned on and off.

This will help to avoid unauthorized access to the equipment, as you will be able to track the power-on process.

What tools are needed to fix system errors

In order for you to correct system errors in a timely manner, you should have boot disks or flash drives with programs in your arsenal.

It is desirable to have available and be able to use the following tools:

1. A disk with Windows 7, 8 or 10, which you will need as a last resort, if you need to reinstall the entire system or some lost data.

2. Boot disk with Windows PE. In a virtual Windows environment, it is much easier to fix many system errors and in order to open it and work, you need a resuscitator that you can burn to an external digital media. For example, on a flash drive. We recommend choosing the Alkid Live CD/DVD/USB resuscitator - this is the optimal assembly and can be easily downloaded on the Internet for free.

3. A flash drive or disk, provided that your PC has a drive, with a virus scanner.

It is very important to update the antivirus at least once a year, so it is better to write the program to a USB flash drive and update it as new versions become available. You can choose any antivirus, for example, the one that you usually use on your computer.

4. Saved on digital media drivers for the motherboard and other hardware parts of the computer.

It is very important to install "factory" drivers, as a set of other programs can damage the computer or cause malfunctions. Installing inappropriate drivers can even affect healthy PC components.

5. Bootable flash drives or disks with programs for managing hard disk partitions. In the event of system failures, most of all users worry about the safety of personal data. If it is impossible to fix the errors and it is no longer possible to restore the operating system, then you can save the data by copying them from hard drive C, on which Windows is installed, to drive D or E. For this, a bootable USB flash drive or a specially developed program Minitools Partition Wizard. It is free, so the interface is not as convenient as that of paid counterparts. However, the program is quite capable of performing its functions.

If you have all the above tools, you can start fixing any, even fatal ones.

Types of system errors

The application described above was created more for the work of system administrators, however, it can also be useful for an ordinary user. Now let's talk about common types of Windows errors.

It is believed that Linux and Mac OS operating systems are much more stable than Windows.

However, it is Windows that is used by the majority of the population, while not everyone knows what failures can occur, how to get rid of them and avoid them in the future without reinstalling the system.

You can qualify system errors according to different criteria, since the same one can be caused by the failure of an integral part of the system unit, and by a program failure or a virus.

That is why the best option would be classification according to the degree of danger.

According to it, Windows 7 system errors can be divided into the following groups:

  • System messages are minor malfunctions that can occur on a healthy computer.
  • Blue screen of death errors.
  • Errors at the bootloader level.

Knowing the types of errors, as well as having a minimum amount of knowledge and skills, you can eliminate failures and avoid the need to rewrite the operating system and destroy data.

System messages are the simplest type of errors

System messages appear constantly, in the error log you can find many such marks every day.

These can be sudden closings of applications, the inability to launch an application, and much more, such messages usually do not affect the quality of the PC or laptop.

Visually, the error looks like a gray box with a description and code, as well as buttons for the “OK” and “Cancel” action options.

In total, there are up to 900 messages in the system, so we will not describe them all - there is no need for this.

In addition, most of them occur very rarely, and other messages are not displayed to the user at all, since they are internal.

They can be divided into the following types:

  • Hardware. The messages refer to the operation of the mouse and keyboard.
  • The organization of the window is all notifications, questions, confirmation of actions.
  • Organization of the interface - the display of the menu, the cursor.
  • Completion of work. Warnings about closing background programs.
  • System resource notifications. These messages include notifications about theme, color, or font changes.
  • Data exchanges. Clipboard notifications.
  • Private messages.
  • Intrasystem, that is, which the user does not see.

For example, consider a common error: Error Memory cannot be written.

The error says that the memory cannot be written to.

Sometimes, instead of the word written, you can meet the word read, that is, the memory cannot be read.

This means that an open program cannot work correctly with RAM, it cannot receive the necessary data or write its own data to disk.

The reasons for this common error are as follows:

  • Broken blocks in RAM.
  • A virus or patch that causes the system to malfunction. You can “pick up” a virus by downloading software from unverified sites on the Internet.
  • Violation in the interaction of drivers and software.
  • Driver mismatch for operating system.
  • Problems with the power supply of a computer or laptop.
  • Installing a large number of antivirus programs.

Since there are many reasons, you need to identify the one that led to the breakdown.

To do this, eliminate all unsuitable options and concentrate on possible problems.

If the program immediately after installation began to produce such an error, then the problem is in it or in the incompatibility of the program with the operating system.

Perhaps it is a hacked version of paid software, or requires additional information and drivers to work, or is not compatible with the version of the operating system.

If the program from the very beginning did not start without an error, you can try to start it using Windows XP compatibility mode.

To do this, click on the properties of the program executable, select "compatibility" and click on the "Compatibility Troubleshooter" feature.

The problem will be automatically solved and the program will start running without failures.

Also, the reason may be the incompatibility of programs and their components.

This is usually the reason in situations where the program previously worked properly and suddenly began to give an error.

Perhaps you have installed new software, programs, extensions or drivers on your PC and its normal operation has been disrupted.

You can uninstall new programs and try to run the one that gives the error.

By the way, it is better to remove programs not just from the disk, but with the help of a special uninstaller.

By deleting the folder with the download file, you leave parts of the program on your computer that may interfere with its operation.

And the uninstallers will clean the device from both the program and the files it created.

Drivers are best removed by standard system services.

Another common reason for the appearance of such an error is the active operation of the antivirus.

Checking this is easy, just disable your antivirus and try running the program again.

But you can do this only if the antivirus does not find dangerous files in the program itself, that is, you first need to scan the folder with the files.

It can also be caused by any technical problem.

To check this, turn off your computer and wait a few seconds for all processes to complete.

Now open the system unit and carefully touch the details, in particular the RAM board.

If it is overheated, then there is a malfunction in the system and a short circuit is possible.

But this does not mean that the board is completely damaged and can no longer be restored.

There is a possibility that the connection of the contacts is broken, in which case the board is simply rearranged into the adjacent slot.

But not all Windows system messages are displayed on the monitor in Russian, about half of the windows will be filled with English text.

This complicates the understanding of the problem, but there is also a solution: the error code is always written in the window, which is a number in hexadecimal. For example, 0x005600b.

You can copy this code and find information and ways to solve the problem on the Internet, in specialized articles or on forums where you can also ask questions that interest you.

Description of the Blue Screen of Death error and how to fix it

It is clear that the blue screen is a consequence of an error in the windows 7 operating system and in this way it tries to convey information about the breakdown to the user.

Due to the blue screen, it becomes impossible to use the computer, but with the right actions, you can restore the system to work.

The blue screen does not accidentally block the operation of the device, this is done for a specific purpose: to help the user save files and all data on the computer.

In the most simple cases, a simple restart of the computer will help.

This applies to cases where the error was caused by incorrect data processing and a failure in the transmission of information.

To understand what exactly happened, codes that reflect the number and name of the breakdown will help.

Codes are the first two lines on the monitor screen.

Sometimes the computer does not display a blue screen at all, but just randomly reboots.

In this case, it is more difficult to determine the cause of the breakdown.

And this can happen due to disabling the function of displaying BSoD messages on the screen.

To fix this (if your computer still works after a reboot), disable random system reboot.

You can do it like this:

  • Go to section "My computer".
  • Go to "Properties".
  • In the selected window, click on "Additional settings".
  • Here you will see the system recovery and boot block, in it you need to uncheck the box next to "Perform automatic reboot".

After that, the system will always give you a screen with an error record and it will be easier to determine the cause of the breakdown.

Blue Screen Errors - Screen of Death

Very often, users are interested in how to fix Windows system errors, which are a blue screen with written code.

For an ordinary user, such a screen is completely incomprehensible, moreover, it frightens and alarms, since in most cases, when the blue screen of death appears, the computer cannot work.

If the system does not boot, and instead of the boot window you see a blue screen with a white code, then you have encountered a Windows stop error, which is called the screen of death.

But do not worry, very often even such an error is not a sufficient reason to reinstall the operating system or delete all data from the computer.

To save the system from reinstallation, you need to understand what is the cause of the error.

The easiest way to do this is by looking at the failure code, it is listed after the word STOP on the page.

With this code, you will understand what is the cause of the failure and you can quickly and safely eliminate it.

In addition to the error code, the screen displays the name of the system module that caused the programs to fail and the type of problem.

In the image above, these parameters are indicated by arrows. For example, consider the situation in the image.

In this case, the cause of the error is a driver that could not properly interact with the operating system modules.

This is evidenced by the phrase DRIVER_IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL at the top of the screen.

The following lines indicate the stop words that arose due to the error, but they carry little information for us.

The name of the driver is written on the bottom line, that is, in our situation it is tcpip.sys, the name of the TCP / IP Internet protocol.

To fix a system error, it is not necessary to install a new operating system.

It is enough to change the driver for the network card of the computer to a more suitable one.

Follow the steps below to fix the error:

1. Restart your computer. Sometimes this helps, as temporary glitches often occur. If access to Windows appears, then we encountered a temporary problem and after a reboot the system will start working normally.

2. If after the reboot the blue screen disappeared, but the next time it appeared again, then the problem is with a driver that does not match the system. Perhaps the driver has been updated and is now incompatible with the system. In this case, you need to roll back the driver to the previous version if the error appeared after the update. If there were no updates, and the blue screen appears from time to time at system startup, then the drivers are outdated and need to be updated. A word of advice: check Windows system messages for updates. Not all updates are installed automatically, so you should pay attention to messages in the Support Center and install all suggested updates. This will also help improve the protection of your computer from viruses.

3. The most serious case is when the blue screen appears every time the system is started. In such a situation, you will need a boot disk or flash drive that restores OS components. You can find detailed instructions on the Internet, the process of installing components will depend on the type and code of the error. But in most cases, the cause of the blue screen of death is a failure to load the file system. In such a situation, you need to boot the system from the Windows PE boot disk and run the command prompt. You can open the command prompt through Start. Enter the menu "Start", Press on "Run" and "Command CMD". In the line that opens, type in chkdsk C: /f and press enter. This command scans the entire C drive for errors and automatically fixes them when it finds them. After the error correction process is completed, you can start your computer in normal mode.

Scanning a disk may not always save a computer, but very often it helps restore normal system settings.

In any case, you need to carry it out, since such a procedure will definitely not aggravate the problem and will not harm the system, but it can help get rid of errors.

How to decrypt information on the death screen

A normal user will not be able to understand what is shown on the screen, evaluate the code and determine how to fix the error, and we will try to help you figure it out.

Now consider what is shown on the screen in general.

The field marked with the number 1 in the screenshot contains the name of the error.

If you know how to deal with a computer and are familiar with the basics of programming, then based on the name, you can already find solutions.

If not, you can enter the code on the Internet and find the necessary information by mistake.

The second field, which is more voluminous, contains a detailed description of the errors and suggests ways to solve them.

By following the instructions on the screen, you can "cure" your computer without reinstalling the system.

Zone number three contains information with an error code.

The code will be of little use to an ordinary user, but a system administrator with its help will be able to quickly fix a breakdown.

The user can only enter this code, along with the name of the fault, into the browser line to find enough information.

The fourth field contains information about the parameters and characteristics of the failure.

The fifth field is the name of the driver, when turned on, the malfunction occurred.

At the bottom of the screen, in the sixth field, you will find information about the special error address.

If you have certain skills and knowledge, using the information on the screen, you can easily correct any errors yourself and quickly.

To solve the problem, rewrite the name and code from the screen and find information about the breakdown on the network.

If you know English, follow the steps that the system suggests.

In any case, even if the reboot does not help and the error that caused the blue screen of death is fatal, it is not always necessary to reinstall the operating system.

Very often it is enough to reinstall the driver, which is registered in field 5 in the screenshot, since it was he who caused the error.

Causes of the screen of death

All causes of the screen of death can be divided into 2 categories: the first category includes breakdowns that occurred after installing software or drivers.

The first group of reasons includes the installation of new drivers that are incompatible with the system, the connection of new equipment: installing a video card, changing a hard drive, and more.

Reinstalling Windows, updating Windows, or updating drivers can also cause an error.

The second category includes such reasons as the breakdown of digital elements of technology, electronic computing components, violation of the correspondence between the driver and the module, as well as incorrect contact of the nodes in the processor.

An error can also occur due to the frequency and voltage reset by the processor.

This occurs due to overheating of the processor itself and leads to the inability of the device to work.

Other hardware failures that can cause the Blue Screen of Death include:

  • Operation of mutually exclusive programs. The most striking example is the work of two antivirus programs that block each other.
  • There is no memory on the hard drive.
  • BIOS not working properly.
  • Overclocking the processor, video card or RAM, which was also performed incorrectly.
  • Dangerous viruses in the system.

By the way, you can call the BSOD screen yourself to check the status of your computer and identify problems in a timely manner.

To call this screen, you need to double-click SCROLL LOSK while holding CTRL while the option is on.

What Blue Screen of Death Errors Are There?

We will list all system errors in Windows 10 or Windows 7 and 8. They can also occur in the Vista operating system.

1. Error code: 0x00000001: APC_INDEX_MISMATCH. This is an internal failure of one of the cores. May be due to a mismatch between KeEnterCriticalRegion and KeLeaveCriticalRegion in the file system. Also, the reason for its appearance is too many repeated calls to the system. This is one of the most common problems.

2. Mistake 0x0000000A: IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL. Means that the user (or system) tried to touch the internal memory on the processor, which is why the system went astray. Usually occurs when the device driver uses the wrong address. The error parameters are the address of the driver, the type of operation - the read operation was performed by the system, or the write operation, as well as the address of the instruction that detected the wrong driver address. In 9 cases out of 10, it occurs due to the installation of unlicensed Windows drivers.

3. 0x00000005: INVALID_PROCESS_ATTACH_ATTEMPT - the error indicates that there is no access to the server and the operating system cannot be started.

4. 0x0000000D: MUTEX_LEVEL_NUMBER_VIOLATION. The error indicates that the interaction points are accessing the system out of the correct queue. Use the header file NTOSEXEXLEVELS.H to find which interaction points are causing the failure.

5. A very common mistake - 0x00000012: TRAP_CAUSE_UNKNOWN. It indicates that the system has crashed, but the cause has not been determined. To find out the cause and fix the computer, you need to track the conditions under which this error occurred.

6. 0x0000001E: KMODE_EXCEPTION_NOT_HANDLED, also a common error. In this case, the freeze screen is usually caused by a broken or excluded driver. You need to pay attention to the type of the driver itself, and to the access path to it. This error does not pose a particular danger to the device if it does not repeat too often. Otherwise, it will be necessary to diagnose the system. Sometimes the cause of the error is processor caching, and if it occurs again, you should contact the manufacturers of this part and get advice from them.

7. 0x00000023: FAT_FILE_SYSTEM - Indicates FAT16 or FAT32 file system corruption. The problem could be a disk failure, or an Interrupt Request Packet.

8. 0x00000020: KERNEL_APC_PENDING_DURING_EXIT. Occurs when the APC meter is damaged or disconnected. Diagnosing the cause is easy: if the APC counter shows a value above 0, then the reason is precisely in it. The reason for the failure of the counter may be a misconfiguration of the drivers, which caused an unequal number of file system restarts.

9. 0x00000024: NTFS_FILE_SYSTEM - An error indicates a problem with a particular driver's read, read, or write. Also, the cause may be incorrect software operation, excessive antivirus activity, or disk overload.

10. Mistake 0x0000002A: INCONSISTENT_IRP indicates an inconsistency in IRP states. Sometimes an IRP that has already completed a download is accepted by the system as a pending download, and vice versa. This causes a blue screen to appear.

11. 0x0000002B: PANIC_STACK_SWITCH - The error indicates that the kernel stack area has overflowed. Usually the reason is either a bug in the kernel, or a large weight of the driver.

12. 0x0000002E: DATA_BUS_ERROR - system memory error, occurs when the driver accesses a memory source that no longer exists.

13. 0x00000031: PHASE0_INITIALIZATION_FAILED - Appears when the system failed to initialize at an early stage. This code practically does not provide information, therefore, additional system diagnostics are required.

14. Error with code 0x00000025: NPFS_FILE_SYSTEM indicates that the computer's memory is full and the device cannot work properly. In this case, you need to increase the hard disk space.

15. Another common option: 0x00000026: CDFS_FILE_SYSTEM. Indicates that the computer's file system is damaged, there are bad sectors, or the new driver is not compatible with the system. To fix the error, you need to diagnose the device, eliminate bad sectors and add more RAM.

These are the main errors that cause the blue screen of death.

It is not necessary to list all types of failures, since it is very difficult for an ordinary user to understand the code and he will not be able to solve the problem on his own.

Computer diagnostics to find a damaged utility

The most common problem that causes a BSOD screen is the installation of a new driver or headset, which leads to a lack of irreplaceable program files.

First you need to diagnose the internal parts.

Perhaps the reason is poor-quality fastening of cables or connections inside the system unit.

Your task: to check the correct installation of the cards and the connection of wires, as well as the connectors and their reliability.

If the problem is not found, you need to check the temperature regime.

Overheating inside the system unit is dangerous, it can damage both the video card and the processor itself, which leads to additional expenses.

You can check the temperature in the BIOS monitoring section or a special program that needs to be loaded into the operating system.

Such programs will show exactly where overheating occurs.

This part must be replaced or repaired.

You also need to check the status of the RAM, as the cause of the error is a breakdown of the RAM board.

The presence of a breakdown can be understood due to the incorrect indicators of a memory cell when it shows more (or less) than it really is.

Due to such breakdowns, the operation of the operating system becomes unstable.

You can diagnose RAM using special utilities, but you should reboot the system before starting the program.

For example, you can use the Memtest utility.

The next step is to diagnose the hard drive.

To do this, open "My computer", select the program disk and left-click on it.

From the menu that appears, select "Properties" and the system will open the following window:

To run a test in a window "Properties" choose "Service" and click on "Perform check".

The computer will automatically restart and then start scanning.

Another method is to restore the original computer settings.

The recovery system returns the state of the computer to its original state for a certain period of time, which you set yourself.

Helps to resolve the error if it was caused by attached parts or recently installed programs.

Hardware diagnostics will also help check the status of the computer: connect the monitor to a special connector on the motherboard, which is designed for the video card, and disable the rest of the components altogether.

That is, you should only have a processor, RAM, power supply, keyboard, hard drive, monitor and motherboard. All other components are disabled.

If, with only a monitor and a motherboard, the computer starts up, you need to start attaching the remaining parts one by one until the system gives an error.

It is the part on which the blue screen appeared during boot that causes it.

True, the hardware method can only be used with a computer, since it will not work to disassemble the laptop.

The exception is laptops that are already equipped with a built-in program for hardware diagnostics.

Another way to fix the error is to free up free space on the hard drive.

In order for the computer to work normally, quickly and without failures, the hard drive must have at least 50% free disk memory.

For normal system operation, you can add hard drives or expand the memory on them if there is nothing to remove.

If your drive is running out of space due to its limited capacity, you can compress it to save memory, or remove cached data, downloads, and obsolete programs.

To do this, log in "My computer" and right-click on the disk name. in the window that appears, select "Properties".

You can click on disk cleanup, this is a safe method to free up memory, the system will delete obsolete files and data from the Internet, including the remnants of watched videos and listened to audio.

Function "Disk Shrink" you need to use it carefully, since there is a possibility that the system will compress the files that are responsible for loading it, and in such a situation, all that remains is to reinstall Windows.

You also need to check the serviceability of the components, but it is better to entrust the repair procedure to a specialist.

We summarize how to cure the screen of death

Since the most common cause of a blue screen is the removal of the necessary system files or software, you need to be able to use the System Restore function.

This function will return the computer to the state it was in before deleting the desired file.

To perform a system restore, you must:

  • Go to menu "Start" and type "system restore" in the search bar.
  • Open a file by double clicking the mouse.
  • Set a restore date point, that is, the time until the desired file is deleted or the wrong driver is installed. It is by this time that Windows will be restored.
  • Wait for the process to complete and restart your computer, the blue screen should disappear.

If you have not deleted any files recently and have not installed new hardware, you need to read on the death screen which program is causing such an error. You can understand this from the code at the top of the page.

Now, knowing the file name, find it through "Control Panel", and click on "Uninstalling a program".

Advice! It is better to download programs, files and drivers only from trusted, licensed sites in order to avoid such breakdowns.

In extreme cases, you can reinstall the system completely, since during the reinstallation process, usually only the program disk is loaded, then the data on the rest will be saved.

To install a new Windows, you need to have bootable media with the official version of this operating system.

Instructions for getting rid of errors

Using the example of the Windows 7 operating system, we will tell you how to “cure” your PC quickly and painlessly.

So, when there is a blue screen with a code on the monitor, you need to start the computer in safe mode.

To do this, press the F8 key until the boot menu appears. It looks like this:

On this screen, select, using the arrows on the keyboard, the item "Safe Mode with Networking".

This mode provides limited access to computer functions, but in it you can use the Internet and find instructions for getting rid of an error or other necessary information.

Here, in safe mode, run a full antivirus scan.

This program runs constantly in the background, but sometimes it misses worms and more dangerous virus threats.

In any antivirus program, a deep scan function is provided, you can use it, or request a scan when the operating system boots and restart the computer.

Now, if there are no viruses, or the program was able to neutralize them, you need to update Windows 7.

Windows developers constantly send updates that make the use of the program more convenient and expand its functions, but the user does not always notice and install them.

And because of this, various kinds of system errors also often occur, so all Windows updates need to be installed: check system messages or set up automatic download of updates.

But if the blue screen has already appeared, the usual installation of updates will not help solve the problem.

To do this, you need to perform an update of the entire system, this is an alternative to reinstalling the software.

To do this, you need a Windows 7 boot disk (or a bootable flash drive), in which case the program will delete old files and files that cause errors and replace them with new ones.

How to prevent the "screen of death" from appearing?

You managed to get rid of such an error, but you would not want to repeat it. To do this, follow simple rules:

  • Perform a deep system scan at least once every 2-3 months.
  • Install Windows updates and read system messages.
  • Clean the system unit from dust, and the keyboard from crumbs.
  • Check fan operation.
  • Change the thermal paste in a timely manner.

System startup errors

The most dangerous and complex type of error does not appear on a blue screen at all, but on a black screen.

These are system startup errors. Usually they appear in the case when a serious failure has occurred and it is unlikely that it will be possible to correct the situation - the only way out is to reboot the system.

Startup error with text press and key to start, which occurs when the operating system boots up, can be pretty scary, but in fact it only requires you to press any button to continue.

This is a common startup failure and it appears just the same on a black screen, but does not pose any danger.

But there are more significant reasons that prevent Windows from booting normally.

These include errors in the registry, damage to system files and hard drive.

If we are talking about damage to system files, then hal, dll, ntdetect and ntldr usually suffer.

In this case, on a black screen you will see the inscription "windows could not start because the following file is missing or corrupt".

With such an error, you can help by reinstalling the operating system, if you have a backup copy written in advance, or just a boot disk.

Ways to fix system errors

Most often, problems with loading a PC appear as a result of a virus entering the computer, installing the wrong drivers or programs, as well as incorrectly shutting down the computer, power outages, and deleting necessary files or programs.

There are 3 main ways to Windows 7 system error boards: this is a system restore (we considered this method as a means of "curing" the blue screen of death), a manual fix using the command line, or applying CCleaner- programs for cleaning disks.

We will consider all methods in detail.

1. System recovery. This is a standard feature that is found in all versions of Windows and was created specifically to normalize the work. To launch the function, open the Start menu in the lower left corner of the screen. Then go to "Control Panel". Choose a section "System and safety" and in the menu that opens, click on "Backup and Reset" like in the screenshot.

You will see this window:

Press on "Starting recovery" and select a point to which the system will rollback.

Click on the "start" button, and after the process is completed, the computer should be restarted.

This can help get it back up and running smoothly as it fixes registry and driver errors.

2. Manual setting. Suitable if you do not have the last rollback points in your computer. In such a situation, you have to manually configure. But you will need a Windows console - a built-in program with powerful functionality and no graphical interface. Ordinary users do not work in the Windows console and this prospect scares them, but there is nothing difficult in this task. You need to bring up a dialog box for further work, press Win and R at the same time. A window will appear with the heading "execute". Enter in the field

as shown in the image and click OK.

You will see a black window, which is the operating system console.

Now you need to check for errors in the hard drive. To do this, enter the command in the field chkdsk c: /f /r , the image below shows where to type the command and press enter.

When the scan is over, scan your computer using the " sfc /scannow » for errors in the state of system files.

3. Use CCleaner utility. This is a handy program that should be used not only in critical situations, but also in everyday work with a computer. It allows you to remove programs from the device completely, including residual files scattered in different folders, clean up Internet history, and much more. With its help, you can remove the program and adjust the registry for normal PC operation. But we are interested in another function - a tool that allows you to automatically detect and correct errors in registry entries. Run the program, in the left menu, click on "Registry". Now highlight all the items in the menu and click on search for problems, the system will automatically detect data inconsistencies. Click "Fix" to fix the problem.

How to fix Windows errors with CCleaner

Video lesson

Operating system won't load

You turned on the computer, the download window appeared, but the system cannot start to work fully.

It either reboots, or freezes, or produces strange characters and pop-ups.

In such a situation, you will also need the system restore function, but you will not be able to carry it out using the above methods, since the device does not boot.

To fix such an error, you need an installation disk or flash drive with the selected version of the operating system.

The procedure is as follows:

  1. The USB flash drive is connected to the computer and the device is rebooted.
  2. When the reboot window appears, press one of the keys that will take you to bios. These are F2-F12 and delete, depending on the model. Usually the delete button or F8 helps.
  3. In the bios system, you need to set the default to boot from a CD / DVD drive or USB device, depending on the type of media on which you have Windows written.
  4. Restart your computer.

Now select the installation language and click "Further". You will see a window like this, the operating system installation window:

Click on "System Restore" as shown in the screenshot.

Very important! The installation disk with the version of Windows must match your old version, otherwise the system restore is not possible.

On the screen you will see all installed systems, select Windows 7 and check the box next to the name, click "Further".

The system will automatically scan your computer for problems and try to fix the errors. Then she will roll back the OS to a restore point.

It should be noted that this method is not always effective, and if it does not help, you need to look for the problem by code or hardware diagnostics.

System Error 5: Windows Permission Denied

Let's talk about another error, error 5, which does not give access to Windows and occurs at the boot stage.

The error occurs when you try to run a specific program or several operating system programs. It looks like this:

Finding instructions for getting rid of an error can be difficult, but we will give a sequence of steps.

It must be said that there is hardly one method for fixing this error, most likely the actions will vary depending on the computer, drivers, and so on.

Here is a generalized instruction that will help in most cases:

How to get rid of an error if it occurs when running system actions

Very often, full access to the C drive is limited on computers, even if you use the PC as an administrator.

Usually set to "Only reading” for all accounts, but this problem is easy to solve.

To open the rights to all actions with the disk, open "My computer", click on drive C, select "Properties" and select the tab "Security".

Pressing "Security" you will see the following window:

You need to click on the button "Change" and in the next window click on "add", as shown in the screenshot:

In the window that opens, manually write "All" on an empty line, this will give access to all system programs and actions to any user. Now click on the button on the left "Check name".

If there is no problem and the system does not mind opening access, the word you wrote "All" will be underlined with a black line, as in the image below. After that we press "OK".

Now that all users of the computer have access to the functions, if you want to open full access, you need to specify this in the menu. To do this, simply check the boxes next to each item in the window.

This method is suitable for everyone who uses windows 7.8 10, vista.

For windows xp users, a slightly different approach is needed, which we will also describe.

The problem is that by default the windows xp interface does not display the tab "Security"(in the properties of drive C), but this tab can be returned in just a few steps.

  • Open any folder.
  • Press on "Service", the button is located at the top.
  • Press on "Folder properties".
  • Now click on "View".
  • Opposite the additional parameters, uncheck the box next to "Easy Sharing", it is the inclusion of this function that does not allow you to fully manage the system.

After that, the "security" tab in the properties of drive C will appear and you must follow all the above steps, as is the case with working in later Windows programs. Error 5 should disappear after the executed algorithm.

Microsoft experts offer another way to get rid of error 5.

It is also effective, but requires a little more work and is more complex.

  • Open command prompt as administrator. You will need to open a command prompt using the cmd command. We discussed how to switch to this mode above, in the topic of getting rid of the blue screen of death.
  • In the command line that appears, write the following: net localgroup Administrator /add networkservice

    for the Russian language system, and

    Net localgroup Administrator /add networkservice

    for the English system. Press Enter

  • Then in the next field we write net localgroup Administrators / add localservice

    or (Administrators) in the English version.

Now close the command prompt and reboot the device.

If you did everything right, then error 5 will disappear and you will have access to all system services.

There is another way that will allow you to remove the error through the registry of the operating system.

But for this, you must know the name of the service that restricts access.

To do this, open the properties of the desired service in the list of services and look at the name. Then you can proceed to work with the registry.

The following is an example where the network service name Netman.

Now let's look at how to start the registry. Let's talk about the standard launch method.

To do this, you need to launch a command window, press the Win + R keys or just go to "Start" and on the right side and popup select command "Run".

In the window that opens, enter the command

regedit

and press enter as shown in the screenshot.

Click OK and a window for editing the registry will open, where you can enter data about changing the operating system and opening access.

You can also start the registry menu simply through Start.

Open "Start" and in the bottom search bar write the command

regedit

In the files found, you will see regedit.exe and go to registry settings. We launch it and continue to fix errors.

In the registry window, go to the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services branch and in the list of services that opens, look for the one we need by the name that we have already looked at in its properties.

We found the service and right-click on it, select the item "permissions".

We check which functions are open for the administrator, and which for the user, and put all the checkmarks in front of the administrator. We have already described this process in the first paragraph.

If you do not want to understand the system, you can try to reinstall the antivirus program, it may be blocking access.

Some anti-virus programs take over the rights to use certain programs and can automatically restrict user access.

To get started, try just shutting down the program and trying to start the service that gives error 5.

As a last resort, when the above methods do not help and proved to be ineffective, you can always reinstall the operating system.

It's not too right to do this just to get rid of error 5, but if you have other problems with Windows, reinstalling it will be the easiest and most effective way.

findings

It is clear from the article that it will not be possible to protect yourself from Windows system errors, and, like any disease, errors are easier to prevent than to cure.

Summing up, we say that errors usually occur as a result of the effects of viruses, driver malfunctions, installation of unlicensed or inappropriate programs, as well as failures in the computer hardware.

So, you can reduce the chance of a system error by installing licensed programs, installing updates in a timely manner, and regular antivirus scanning.

Also remember to remove dust from the cooler and change the thermal paste as needed.

All owners of desktop computers or laptops sooner or later have to reinstall the OS, be it Windows 7 or any other modification. There are many reasons for damage to the operating system (malware infection, improper installation of drivers, accidental deletion of system data, etc.). However, if information important to you is stored in the system partition of the PC (for example, on the desktop), it will also be deleted after the demolition of the operating system. To prevent this, instead of reinstalling, you can perform a Windows recovery.

Ways to restore Windows 7 without reinstalling

The developers of this operating system took care of its reliability by equipping the product with many protective features, among which the recovery procedure is the most useful. This software tool allows you to return the OS to working capacity without completely reinstalling it.

There are several ways to initialize the Windows recovery process:

  • using Last Known Good Configuration;
  • using the program;
  • through a restore point;
  • via BISO.

To complete the task, you do not have to look for any software or use additional devices.

The only thing you need to prepare is a DVD with Windows 7 of the exact assembly that was installed on your computer. The ideal option is to use the same disk.

Restoring the last working configuration

Each time you log out of the system, all the important data necessary for the launch and operation of the operating system is entered into the registry. It is this information that the recovery procedure uses.

To activate it you need:

If the system boots up after performing the above steps, it is recommended that all important information saved in the system partition (“My Documents”, drive C, desktop) be copied to another drive. After that, check your PC for malware and, if possible, perform a full system diagnostic.

Using the recovery procedure in this way, you will not be able to recover lost personal data (music, video, etc.), since it only works with system files. To recover such information, you need to use additional programs.

Restoring Windows using the Chkdsk application

Chkdsk (from the English “check disk”) is a program built into the operating system that looks for damaged system files on the hard drive and restores them.

Another useful feature of this tool is the diagnostics of storage media for mechanical damage to sectors and the closure of access to them, thereby speeding up the operation of the system.

There are two ways to initialize Chkdsk:

  • through a graphical interface;
  • from the command line.

In the first case, you need:


To run the Chkdsk program from the command line, you should:


This will restart and diagnose the Windows system for damage.

Applying a restore point

A restore point is an element of the OS that stores a copy of system files, drivers, and installed programs recorded at a specific time. In Windows, such points are created automatically at regular intervals, as well as after installing and updating programs.

To use a restore point, you need:


Windows System Recovery via BIOS

If it is impossible to start the OS, recovery by the methods described above will not work. In this case, you can use the BIOS to resuscitate Windows without reinstalling.

The procedure will be as follows:

The Windows operating system that we do not always use is stable. In her work, various bugs, crashes, freezes occur, sometimes the user may encounter a BSoD (blue screen of death). To counteract this, there are a number of special programs designed to find and eliminate the malfunctions that have arisen. Today I will talk about one of them called "MwFix", I will explain how error correction is implemented with MwFix on Windows 7.10, and how to work with this program.

The letter combination "MwFix" is usually deciphered as "Microsoft Windows Fix" (translated as "Microsoft Windows Fix").

Usually, this name refers to the FixWin error correction utility, created by a number of developers to solve some typical problems that arise in Windows.

The FixWin utility has three main versions - for Windows 7 (FixWin v 1.2), for Windows 8 (FixWin v 2.2), and for Windows 10 (FixWin 10). They do not require their installation on a PC, you just download and run the utility corresponding to your OS without any additional steps.

The disadvantages of this product, I would include its English-speaking nature, which may confuse some Russian-speaking users. In this case, I recommend using special translation programs and browser extensions that can help you work with MwFix.

How to fix bugs with MwFix

Download and run the MwFix program to fix errors in Windows 7, 10 from the links I provided above. The utility screen that opens is divided into two main parts:

  • Left side - there are tabs, each of which contains the corresponding tools for solving a certain range of errors in MwFix.
  • Basic tab "Welcome"- designed to check the integrity of system files using the sfc utility ("System file checker utility" button), as well as create a restore point ("Create System Restore Point" button).
  • Tab " Windows Explorer"- Designed to fix Windows Explorer errors.
  • "Internet & Connectivity" - aimed at solving network problems.
  • "Windows Media" - will get rid of errors in the work of "Windows Media Player".
  • " System Tools" - contains various system tools.
  • "Additional fixes" - has a number of additional tools for fixing various bugs.

Working screen "FixWin"

  • Right side - it contains the contents of the tab selected by the user. Here is a list of problems, and next to each problem is a "Fix" button, clicking on which will correct the specified dysfunction.

I also advise you to take into account that there are many fake versions of MwFix on the Internet that carry both a virus and various advertising applications. I recommend downloading this utility only from trusted sources, otherwise you can bring some kind of malware to your PC.

Be careful - the functionality of this site is rather doubtful

Conclusion

"MwFix" is a special utility designed to restore the health of Windows 7.8, 10 operating systems. It contains special tools, the use of which will fix various Windows OS errors on your computer. The disadvantage of this program may be its English-language interface (for those who are new to Shakespeare's language), in this case I recommend using special translation programs, or installing a special extension on your browser that will allow you to fully use the rich features of "MwFix" on your PC .

In contact with

This section should be the first place you visit if you encounter any problems. You can find it at "Control Panel" → "Troubleshooting".

Here you will find several step-by-step wizards that will help you solve problems with connecting a printer, playing sound, accessing the Internet, and so on.

It may well be that your problem is nothing complicated, and therefore quite capable of this built-in repairer.

Drive optimization

Today's hard drives typically don't require as much maintenance as they did in decades past. In addition, new versions have learned how to perform disk optimization on a schedule and in idle minutes. However, if you're noticing your computer slowing down or making strange sounds coming from your drive, it's a good idea to run the disk maintenance utility.

The easiest way to do this is to search by name. Using the utility, you can analyze the status of drives, optimize them, or change the automatic maintenance schedule.

Reverting the system to a previous state

A great feature that many users for some reason forget about. It can come in handy if you experience any errors and crashes after installing new programs or updating drivers. With System Restore, you can return your computer to a time when everything was working.

Sometimes recovery results in a partial loss of recent user data. Therefore, before proceeding with treatment, it is better to make backup copies. Still, rolling back to a previous checkpoint is an easy and quick way to solve many problems.

System Stability Monitor

To fix something, you need to understand what is broken. The System Stability Monitor utility will help you answer this question. Finding it is not so easy, as it is hidden in the depths of the "Control Panel". Therefore, it is easiest to use the search, where you should enter the phrase "reliability log".

Here you will find a detailed report on the operation of the operating system and installed software, as well as the resulting failures. Sometimes one glance at the log is enough to determine the cause of problems and fix it.

System Restore

If the methods listed above do not work, you can try a more radical remedy. To do this, you need to use the reset function available in the latest versions of Windows. It has several options: the most sparing even allows you to save everything, while the other will return the computer to the time of purchase.

To access this feature, open Computer Settings and then go to Update & Security. Here, find the "Recovery" tab on the left panel. Depending on which system was originally installed and which updates were applied, the contents of the items may differ slightly.

RAM Diagnostics

Quite often, problems are related to RAM errors. The peculiar insidiousness of this case is that bugs begin to appear without any system. Therefore, if you are tormented by sudden reboots, blue screens and non-starting programs, be sure to check the status of your RAM.

A search for the words "memory diagnostics" will help you find this useful utility. After starting, select the test mode that suits you and wait for the test results.

Resource Monitor

Another great tool that allows you to find out what's going on under the hood of Windows is called "Resource Monitor". It will come in handy, for example, if a process starts behaving inappropriately, loading the processor too much or constantly writing something to disk. Of course, this will slow down the computer, so the offender must be quickly found and neutralized.

"Resource Monitor" is the older brother of the familiar "Task Manager". It provides the most complete information about each process, service, driver, network connections and their use of the processor, memory, hard disk.

Well, have you tried everything, but Windows has not been cured yet? Then it’s really worth picking up the phone and calling a familiar “computer engineer”.

Can you suggest other options for saving the system? In this case, welcome to the comments!
