Recovering from a Crash
Your Windows Systems can crash due
device driver failure, hard drive failure or corruption, buggy
applications or application installer, possibly a problematic
Registry modification, or a virus attack. We discuss a number of
strategies and techniques for troubleshooting and recovering
Windows NT, 2000, and XP.
Driver or Service failing to load:
This type of failure is most common
in windows after installing some device drivers or large
applications which are much oriented to system services. These
applications stop some services during their installations and
sometimes fail to restore the services which cause this type of
failure. In order to recover from this situation, we have to
identify which driver installation causes this problem. This can
be identified by using event viewer. The system log is written by
the system during each critical task is carry on. This is accessed
by control panel -> Administrator Tools -> Event
viewer. Examine the application and system log for red signs.
Then open the red signed and read the error report where, the
driver which failed is reported. By knowing this driver uninstall
the component associated to the driver which will rectify the
problem.
Blue Screen of Death (BSOD):
This is the most common deadly error
of windows. It shows a blue screen when the error occurs and
automatically restarts the system. If it is the first time of
occurrence then the restart may help to get into the system again.
But if it occurs at every time of the booting then there are two
possibilities to recover. One is fixing the cause and another one
is reinstalling the whole OS again.
The main errors for the BSOD are
software errors, hardware errors both during windows operation,
and installation errors, startup errors and intermittent errors.
Ways to recover from Blue Screen
of Death:
If the BSOD error message shows any
driver error try to get in to safe mode by pressing F8 during
booting of windows. There it shows a menu with the options of safe
mode with command prompt. Select it and try to uninstall the
driver.
