The reasons why this error screen may skip are very varied, from hardware problems to software problems. Sometimes it is not easy to detect the origin of the problem. But the important thing is not to despair, because it is something normal that simply signals to us an error or a failure.
Don’t worry, these are just problem reports, it won’t blow up your PC
First of all, we must reassure you. Whether the screenshot is blue, red, green, or black, the system protects itself and reports an error. It’s good for this to happen, since it tells us that something is wrong and we need to fix it. You shouldn’t run, you should keep the bug report, find out what it means and fix it.
Although the term is used “Screen of Death”does not really mean death from the PC, but of a process or failure of a computer component. We must clarify that the term process refers to something that happens. Running a game or program is a process, and during the process something can go wrong and lead to a “screen of death”
He the color is indicative, approximate, from where the blows leave. Normally the error is blue, but there are other possible colors that are rarer. Let’s see what they mean.
RSOD (Red Screen of Death)
This type of display occurs when there are errors in the pages and to avoid trouble, jump. It must be said that currently this type of screenshot it does not exist anymorehas been removed and can only be generated by code.
The last operating system that integrated it was Windows Vista and it was not so rare that he appeared. Note that it is considered the worst distribution published by Microsoft. From Windows 7 disappears. I have to say I had Vista and this screenshot happened to me once.
PSOD (Pink Screen of Death)
If the color pink appears to us, we can say that we are more or less lucky. This color is unique and only appears when There is a problem with the graphics card. The first and easiest is to update the graphics card driver(s). If it persists, you should check the temperature or change it, to see if the problem persists.
GSOD (Green Screen of Death)
You’ve probably never seen it and it’s really hard for you to see it. This type of screen is reserved for those who use a beta version of the operating system because they are in the Windows Insiders program.
There is no difference between a GSOD and a BSOD, only the color. It’s a badge that the company uses to point out errors, but they’re the same.
Black screen
Perhaps the rarest and the one that can cause the most panic. Here we have the black screen and only a blinking cursor, without further information or text. we can point out two things basically:
- Some the boot file is damaged or faulty, so we will have to restore the system or reinstall Windows
- There the partition table is faulty or has been deleted accidentally
Normally either way I could come from an iFaulty Windows installation. If we have been using the equipment for a while, chances are we have sneaked a virus or malware It has corrupted data or operating system partition.
How do I know what’s going on?
Since Winodws 10, the operating system keeps a log of all relevant events that have occurred. We are talking about errors and warnings, not about personal information or the movements we have made. Obviously, we will only be able to access this information if we can start the operating system.
To access this list, we must follow the following steps:
- We must right click on the Windows icon in the taskbar
- A menu opens and we will search Event Viewer and we will click on this option
- Now Event Viewer (local) opens
- click on custom displays and inside on administrative events
- Here we will see a lot of warnings (which we shouldn’t pay attention to) and some errors
The errors simply show us the most important ones. By clicking on them, we will display information about them, indicating the type of problem, date and time. In this window you also have the Windows Registry and the option System which gives us additional information. Here all BSODs will be logged and this will guide us what failed.
