How to fix Blue Screen in Windows 10/11

What runs through your mind when you start your PC or laptop and get welcomed by an unfriendly blue screen?



The first time I experienced this, I felt like I had damaged the computer. It's even worse if your computer just seemed okay the last time you used it.

When this happens, there's no need to worry. There are 3 possible reasons for this:

1. Your Operating system may be corrupt

2. The main disk on your PC may be damaged

3. There could be a corrupt application affecting normal startup.


It is normal to panic in such cases, especially when you have little to no experience handling computers.

Before you phone that repair guy or throw your computer into the trash, try out these troubleshooting tips.


1. Disconnect all peripherals, the power connection and shut down the PC by long pressing the power button. 

2. Wait for 5 minutes and power up the computer. 

3. If that does not work, think about reinstalling a new Operating system. You can do so from a Bootable Flash Disk or a Compact disk. If you do not have any of those, visit a technician and have them do the installation for you.

4. If it works, use the Windows system diagnostic tool to scan your system for hardware and software issues. This is accessible through Settings > Update & Security > Troubleshoot > Additional Troubleshooters > Windows Diagnostics.

5. You can also install an antivirus like Kaspersky and use it to scan your system for malware that can interfere with normal system functionality.

How to create a partition for your computer hard drive.

Why is it important to partition the drive of your system? When installing applications on your system, it is likely that at some point one of the apps may get corrupted.  This results from updates from the software or virus obtained from external storage devices like flash disks plugged in the system. Partioning your hard drive is simply dividing it into different sections which can be managed separately. If you have one drive on your system, you can create two partions and use one for the main Operating system and the other part for your backup files. This makes it easy to recover your files in case the OS becomes damaged or unusable. It is important to note that a whole drive can get damaged and you would lose all your information in that case. That means partioning alone is not enough. One best practice today is backing up your information in an external storage or using a cloud storage system like Google drive which gives free 15gb storage space. How to create a partition: Usu...
