Is It A Hardware Failure?

Hardware problems are the most common reason for the occurrence of blue screen errors. The main hardware components that can cause these problems are the hard drive and the RAM. You can check the hard drive by using CrystalDiskInfo.

Follow these steps to check the RAM:

  1. Start Windows normally or in Safe Mode.
  2. Press Windows Key + R > type mdsched.exe > press Enter
  3. Follow the on-screen instructions

If you can’t boot into Windows normally or even through safe mode, then you should try using hardware scans available in the BIOS to check the hard disk and RAM.

Other Reasons Why This Error Might Be Occurring

Since, this error usually means that there is a hardware related problem in the computer. This could mean that the computer’s motherboard or some other major component is not working. You might need to take the computer to a shop to get it examined if both the hard disk and RAM are working.
