Dreaded Unmountable Boot Volume Blue Screen
You’re happily working away, and then without warning, your computer throws up the dreaded Unmountable Boot Volume Blue Screen of Death! This can happen following an update or software/hardware installation. In this instance, there’s a good chance that the registry entry or driver is damaged.
The first thing to do, if you suspect it’s a driver problem, is to roll back the driver and see if the error comes up again. A faulty device driver may just be all it is, if you’re lucky that is. Still getting Blue Screen Error Codes? Next time it comes up, write down the ‘Stop’ error message and enter it into a search engine.
Stop error messages are supposed to contain the cause of the problem, but unless you’re a techie then it’ll mean very little to you. Still, a trained PC repairer may have to run a few diagnostics before they could find the answer to the problem. If you’re plagued with error messages and your computer is running at a crawl these days, the likeliest reason for stop error codes is a bloated registry.
It doesn’t take long for a computer’s registry to fill up with registry entries. You should think of your PC’s registry as the gatekeeper. It stores configuration of software, applications, hardware, system setup information, user profiles, preferences and a whole lot more. The registry keeps a record of what files you’ve created, in addition to any important changes you’ve made to your computer, such as installation of hardware and applications.
Messy program reinstallations and removals can leave unused or duplicate registries, even if you use the ‘Add or Remove Programs’ function in control panel. Quite quickly the registry folder gets overcrowded with these redundant entries, and begins to take a toll on the performance of your PC. You may experience a slower start up, time lag when using applications and general sluggishness.
Additionally, there are other threats that can cause serious damage to the registry such as viruses, adware and spyware. Having antivirus software installed on your computer doesn’t guarantee absolute protection but it is much better than having nothing. Make sure that your antivirus software is regularly updated. In addition have firewall turned on, although this should be a default Windows setting.
Quite commonly a problem in the registry is the source for blue screen error messages. Furthermore your computer may be rendered unstable causing intermittent freezing and crashes. Because restart, is the only way to get out of a blue screen crash, data can be lost. Cleaning your registry out of corrupt and useless registry entries is an effective way of speeding up your PC. But do bear in mind that there is no ‘undo’ option in the registry editor. Therefore you must always make a back up of the registry before you edit it.
Editing the registry isn’t a good idea if you have little computer know-how. Make backups of all your files if your intent on having a go. However, this isn’t the wisest idea, especially if you’re not sure or comfortable in doing so. Getting a trained PC technician to look at your PC is a better idea. Alternatively there are tools out there that can scan and repair computer systems automatically.
