Fixing The Unmountable Boot Volume Blue Screen Fatal Error

The ‘unmountable boot volume blue screen‘ is a pretty devastating experience particularly when it has appeared suddenly without any explainable reason. Often, the blue screen freeze occurs after installation or update of software or hardware. In this instance, there’s a good chance that the registry entry or driver is damaged.

Rolling back the said device driver would be a good place to start, to try and fix the blue screen error. If this solves the issue, contact the manufacturer for an updated driver or visit their site. 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. Even for an expert PC technician, an error code may not provide an instant answer and take a little trial and error before a solution is found. By far the most reoccurring reason for Stop Error Codes, as well as sluggish PC performance, is a poorly kept registry.

Most old and even fairly new computer registries look a total mess. 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. It also keeps tabs on what you’ve been doing on your computer, like what files and folders you’ve created, installations of software and hardware and internet browsing.

Messy program reinstallations and removals can leave unused or duplicate registries, even if you use the ‘Add or Remove Programs’ function in control panel. Inevitably over time your registry becomes bloated with these invalid and useless entries which will invariably affect your computer’s performance. Your computer may take longer to startup and slow down significantly.

The computer registry can also become infected and corrupted by external threats such as Trojan horse, spybots and other nasty worms and viruses. If you’re using email or Internet browsing you should absolutely have some form of security application installed to help guard your computer from viruses. Ensure your running the latest update and that your antivirus application is working properly. In addition have firewall turned on, although this should be a default Windows setting.

Corrupted registries can cause blue screen errors as well a host or other error messages. Furthermore your computer may be rendered unstable causing intermittent freezing and crashes. Data can be damaged or lost in the instance of a blue screen error message. In order to increase your computer’s performance and speed, the registry needs to be cleaned. However, you have to remember that anything changes that you do make in the Windows registry, can’t be undone. 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. If you plan to edit the registry, you should save anything that you want to keep on your computer on an external hard drive. But I wouldn’t recommend doing anything to your computer if you don’t feel comfortable or are unsure. Getting a trained PC technician to look at your PC is a better idea. An inexpensive alternative to fix your computer is to use a registry cleaning program.
