The World of Mobile Phones

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. The cause for this is usually a corrupt or invalid driver or registry key.

If you’ve updated a device driver recently, it’s a good idea to roll back the driver to confirm if this is indeed the problem. A faulty device driver may just be all it is, if you’re lucky that is. If you still get blue screen error codes, then take note of the error message and enter the error message into a search engine to see if you can find a fix.

Finding a solution from the mysterious stop error code alone, can be difficult if you’re not a tech-person. And in most instances, even for a trained computer technician, the answer to the problem will still not be clear. 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.

A brand new PC’s registry can become overcrowded in a short space of time. The registry is like the computer’s librarian. 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.

The installation of third party software, as well as incorrect software installation can add unwanted registries as well as duplicates. Quite quickly the registry folder gets overcrowded with these redundant entries, and begins to take a toll on the performance of your PC. Your computer may take longer to startup and slow down significantly.

Registry entries can become corrupted and damaged by spyware, viruses, Trojan horse, adware. Having antivirus software installed on your computer doesn’t guarantee absolute protection but it is much better than having nothing. Always check that your security software is active and that it’s constantly 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. In order to increase your computer’s performance and speed, the registry needs to be cleaned. Be aware that whatever changes that you do make will be permanent and there’s no going back once they’re made. Therefore you must always make a back up of the registry before you edit it.

Rushing in to fix the registry problem can cause a complete system failure if you don’t know what you’re doing. Make backups of all your files if your intent on having a go. But I wouldn’t recommend doing anything to your computer if you don’t feel comfortable or are unsure. It’s best to get someone who’s qualified or knows how to fix computers. An inexpensive alternative to fix your computer is to use a registry cleaning program.
