It is easy to diagnose, troubleshoot and repair blue screen error message if the same blue screen error message occure everytime the computer crash. But what if you get random blue screen error messages everytime the computer crash?
That’s what happened to my friend just now, when he call me through the phone.
The first thing I ask him is what was the last he thing he do to his windows before the random blue screen error messages occur evertime his computer crash. He told me he didn’t install anything before the random blue screen error messages appear. Then I ask him if he did anything with his hardware. He told me he add a new RAM module to his computer before the random blue error messages appear.
I told him to remove the new RAM module, and see if it solved the problem.
15 minutes later he call me again and told me the random blue screen messages still appear. I ask him again, besides adding the new RAM module, is there anything else that he did with his hardware before the random blue screen error messages appear everytime his computer crash that he forget to told me about. Suddenly he remember he overclocked his processor.
He overclocked his Intel Celeron 2.0Ghz to a whopping 2.6Ghz!
Overclocking is changing your processor speed to a higher value to squeeze out more performance from your processor. This technique can also be applied to RAM, graphic card, or anything that can be overclock
I told him to downclock it back to 2.0Ghz, install the new RAM module back, start the computer, wait and see if the random blue screen error messages everytime the computer crashes still occur. He doesn’t call me till now, and it has been 3 hours. I guess the random blue screen error messages problem have been solved.
