How to Fix a Blue Screen Memory Dump

A blue screen memory dump is an error screen that comes up just before the system gets rebooted, because the operating system is no longer able to function properly due to a variety of reasons, and the content of the RAM is dumped on to a data file. This is a frequent problem mainly encountered in various versions of Windows operating system, and is also popularly called the Blue Screen of Death (BSoD).

Step 1: Check Recently Installed Hardware and Device Drivers.

BSoD can be because of a faulty device driver or conflict between recently installed hardware .
In such cases, try the latest version of the driver and reinstall the hardware, but before that make sure the hardware is compatible with your system.Sometimes the problem also could be that the device driver has not been properly configured to meet the requirements of the system. Try with a third party software.

Step 2: Repair Your Registry

The second most common cause of BSoD can be of a corrupted registry. Try repairing the registry manually or use a software which scans and fixes problem in the registry.

Step 3: Check CMOS and Memory Modules

If the error message on the BSoD reads "UNEXPECTED_KERNEL_MODE_TRAP," then it indicates you have problem with the memory of your computer. You need to check whether the SIMMs (Single Inline Memory Modules) are compatible and have the same speed. Secondly, also check whether you have set the CMOS (Complementary Metal Oxide Semiconductor) to the right amount of RAM. If these solutions do not work, you might have to replace memory in your computer.

Step 4: Rectify a Damaged Hard Drive

Sometimes the cause of BSoD is a faulty hard disk. Most Windows operating systems have a diagnostic scan for the hard drive, and you need to run this to figure out the problem. Sometimes the operating system will encounter a problem where it is unable to read from the hard disk, and in such cases apart from the hard disk, you also need to check out the SCSI (Small Computer System Interface) terminator.


Step 5: Scan for Virus

BSoD problem can also be caused by a virus which has infected crucial files in the hard drive that might disrupt the flow of information between the operating system and hard drive. If you have already installed antivirus software, you might have to scan your computer with a new one.
