Windows Update NTFS Sys Blue Screen Dump

Picture the usual day – you’re home working on your PC and then out of nowhere up pops an NTFS Sys Blue Screen. Naturally, a wave of dread flows through you having never seen this message before. It looks completely alien compared to other errors, almost dated, like it belongs to a lesser machine. You realize that there is no ‘accept’ or ‘ok’ to return to what you were previously doing. So, naturally you feel annoyed as the any work you’ve done gets lost.

To add insult to injury the computer reboots on it’s own accord, just as you start writing the error code down. Something tells you however that you’ll be seeing the blue screen again very soon. The next day it happens again and again without warning. You’re more prepared this time and you finish writing down the rest of the stop code. So you do what pretty much anyone would do, you search online for the NTFS Sys error and hope for a solution.

Like anyone in the same situation you try the suggested fixes you find online and you begin the process of slow elimination. Don’t throw in the towel just yet though as there is probably a fix out there somewhere. But unless you’re lucky and you really know what you’re doing, the solution will not come easily. Even with the error message in hand, you will find that it gives little information on exactly how to fix the BSOD.

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. And this doesn’t take into account that some stop error codes are a lot more difficult to solve than others. If you’re lucky enough to get an Ati2dvag Blue Screen, it probably only needs a driver update, but get a Mup Sys Blue Screen and you will be in for a ride.

A faulty Mup.sys file, malware, a corrupt registry entry and badly installed hardware; any one of these and a lot more can cause Mup.sys problems. It may take several tries to repair this particular issue. One of the first things to do is enter the BSOD error code into a search engine and see if there is already a solution online.

Before you start making any major changes to your computer, make sure you try some basic fixes first to rule out the obvious problems. You may be fortunate enough to six your computer with these simple methods. It’s unlikely that you’ll have to do anything drastic such as reinstalling Windows or replacing hardware. Try the following simple steps;

-Undo any recent changes that might be causing the BSOD.
-You might want to try uninstalling newly added hardware.
-Check the registry for any invalid or corrupt entries with a registry cleaner.
-Make sure you have the newest drivers installed.
-Check that you’re running the latest Service Pack.
-Do a full system scan for infections such as rootkits and viruses.

A quick tip; make sure you disable Windows automatic restart function. For Windows XP, the settings can be changed by going to the System folder and disabling the ‘automatically restart’ ability in the Startup and Recovery menu. Now you will be able to write down the blue screen message without it restarting on you midway.
