Win XP NTFS Sys Blue Screen Solution

Imagine working away on your computer, when all of a sudden you get an ntfs.sys blue screen error message. You panic seeing this error message for the first time. You notice that this isn’t like other error messages that you usually experience. The opportunity to acknowledge the error and go back to whatever you were doing doesn’t exist. Unsurprisingly you regret not having saved your work.

To add insult to injury the computer reboots on it’s own accord, just as you start writing the error code down. From that moment, you anxiously anticipate another blue screen error occurrence. Sure enough a day later, ‘Zzzpt’ the blue screen appears again just as you were about to save your work. This time you manage to write down the rest of the message. So you do what pretty much anyone would do, you search online for the NTFS Sys error and hope for a solution.

This is where you begin, like most people who experience blue screens, the cycle of trial, failure and more trials. It doesn’t necessarily mean you won’t find a fix, most people do, eventually. If you’re fortunate to stumble on the answer straight away, then count yourself lucky. Of course the stop message itself does provide a clue as to what could be wrong usually, but it doesn’t tell you the exact fix.

Most people who have experienced the BSOD would agree that this is really annoying. It’s like getting a replacement for a broken down photocopier but given a manual in a different language. Not exactly what you would hope for when after a solution. Furthermore, this doesn’t really address the fact that many error messages have a variety of causes and fixes. For example, an Ati2dvag Blue Screen usually means there’s a graphics card or driver issue, but if you experience a Mup Sys Blue Screen it’s a whole different story.

A number of issues cause an Mup.sys blue screen, including hardware faults, applications that have been poorly removed, faulty BIOS settings and corrupt device drivers. It may take several tries to repair this particular issue. It’s a good idea to search for the error message online since there’s a chance that someone has already fixed the same problem and posted their fix on a website.

Initially you should rule out any simple issues that could be causing the blue screen and avoid making big changes to your PC. These should cause no harm to your computer or operating system. Usually you will not have to go as far as opening your PC up or doing a full system restore. Try the following simple steps;

-Undo any recent changes that might be causing the BSOD.
-Try removing any hardware that you’ve added recently.
-Check the registry for any invalid or corrupt entries with a registry cleaner.
-Make sure you have the newest drivers installed.
-Update your Service Pack.
-Run a complete scan on your computer with a good antivirus program.

It’s a good idea to stop Windows from automatically rebooting at blue screens. You can do this by navigating to Control Panel (in XP), then going into System Properties, then un-checking the function in Startup and Recovery. Now you will be able to write down the blue screen message without it restarting on you midway.
