Understanding the Blue Screen of Death

Blue Screen of Death errors, also known as black screen errors or STOP code errors, occur when a critical issue forces Windows to shut down or restart unexpectedly. Users may encounter messages such as, "Windows has been shut down to prevent damage to your computer."

These errors can arise from either hardware or software problems.

If restarting remains problematic, initiating your PC in safe mode is recommended. Detailed instructions for starting your PC in safe mode can be found in Windows support documentation.
