Windows crashes can occur for various hardware and software reasons. When a crash occurs, the blue screen of death (BSOD) appears displaying a stop code that can help troubleshoot the issue. Common causes of crashes include viruses, faulty hardware like a failing power supply, overheating issues, driver or software conflicts, and memory/motherboard problems. It is important to keep systems updated, use antivirus software, and ensure proper cooling/ventilation to help prevent crashes.

1. WHY DOES WINDOW CRASH? THE TOP
10 REASONS

3. • Windows is most popular operating system.
• If windows fail then it can cause the loss of important
data.
• A crash in windows means that a operating system has
either frozen, stopped working or closed for an unknown
reason.

4. • If windows crash occurs, the blue screen of death
appears.
• This screen is also known as “dead screen", "blue
screen errors” and officially known as “stop error[1]” or “a
bug check”.
• After which, computer is automatically shutdown.
• In Unix based O.S, a similar term is “kernel panic”.

6. • The text on BSOD may list any files involved in the crash
that may have been at fault.
• Often includes a short description of what to do about
the problem.
• BSOD also includes a “stop code” that can be used to
trouble shoot this specific “stop error”.

7. • Microsoft windows family of O.S upon
encountering critical error of a
non-recoverable nature, causes
the system to crash.
• There can be many reasons for
windows crash, both “Hardware”
or “Software”.

9. • A computer virus attach itself to a program/file enabling it
to spread and causes serious harm to PC and corrupts
drivers and important files.
• The best solution is to install antivirus, firewalls, and
frequently backup your data.
• Top antiviruses are
i. Kasper sky
ii. Eset NOD32
iii. Avira
iv. Avast
v. panda

10. • A problem with power supply reduces
the power it can deliver or causes
an uneven flow of power also
results in crashes.
• An overload circuit,
poor wiring or faulty power strip
could be the reason.
• The solution is to replace power supply
or use of uninterrupted power supply(UPS).
• You can diagnose it by moving PC to another place.

11. • A common cause of crash is badly/faulty installed
softwares.
• Problem can resolved by uninstalling the software and
reinstalling it or
• By entering into safe mode at starting of windows and
press F4 or
• Using “system configuration utility” to disable the
software the runs at boot.

12. • Too much heat can cause permanent
damage, so hardware will shut itself
down before that point is reached.
• It is caused by buildup of dust inside
computer case or malfunctioning
of fans inside computer.
• You can use cans of compressed air
to clean the dust.
• Another beat way is to install CPU cooling system and
softwares ( freeware,rain,waterfall)

13. • Crash of this type are usually associated with an error
message.
• Sometimes the error message will clearly name the
offending hardware.
• If it does not, try running the message through Google to
see if that helps you find culprit.

14. • If a computer mysteriously loses its ability to find the
boot drive, but BIOS is properly configured, a hard drive
issues is the culprit.

15. • Hardware conflicts can be seen by opening device
manager.
• If a conflict exists it will be visible in this utility with a
yellow and black examination icon.

16. • Memory and motherboard issues can cause crash.
• This results in exception error,
which basically means data
that should be stored in memory
could not be retrieved.
• You can test memory with a utility or a build-in
motherboard diagnostic tool.

17. • Another common problem with boot order is a high
placement of USB or CD-Drive.
• If you leave USB plugged into your PC, and BIOS is set
to boot from USB, then your PC will not boot properly.
• You can change the boot order or simply remove the
offending drive.

18. • A corrupt registery can prevent a PC from booting
properly(i.e crash).
• Quality “registery fix software” can often fix this problem.
• Or if your PC will not boot properly try to run Windows in
safe mode and run the software from there.

19. • There are many reasons of windows crash and often a
single problem might have multiple causes.
• I hope that this article pointed you in right directed to
avoid Windows crash and to fix one if it occurs.
