BSOD Solution for Window 8

If you have BSOD Problem with your computer then I can help you to solve the problem. This post is all about the solution of the BSOD problem. When BSOD occurs general steps to follow: 

Use Last Known Good Configuration: If you have recently added a hardware or software, continuously press F8 during booting and select “Last Known Good Configuration." 

Test your Random Access Memory (RAM): You can test your RAM using a Memory Test program when booting from the Windows Installation DVD. Step-by-step instructions with screen shots are given in System Restore or Recovery section of Window 8, Window 7.

Recent software, hardware and/or driver changes: If you have installed incompatible software or hardware which leads to undesired change in computer setup configuration like installing graphic card, network card, chipset, graphics card, sound card, and more. Then rollback all changes from Device manger.Steps to follow. Go to Start - > Run and then type devmgmt.msc then Right-click the device and click Properties option. Then Go to the Driver tab and click "Roll Back Driver" and Restart your computer.

Use Safe Mode, System Restore and Clean Boot: Try to boot in Safe Mode. To do this, press F8 after the initial screen a few times before the Window Screen appears. Select Safe Mode and press Enter. It is always advised to make restore points so that by using System Restore you can rollback all changes you had made. If that doesn't work, try Safe Mode again, but don't use System Restore. If you can be in Safe mode for a while without getting a BSOD, you can try a "Clean boot." 

Advanced Hardware-related troubleshooting techniques: 

Remove all unnecessary hardware. All you really need is your motherboard, your hard drive, power supply, CPU, fans, RAM and graphics card.

If you have any spare components (besides a motherboard and hard drive), try swapping them one at a time. Especially try to switch the power supply if possible. Look on the motherboard for burn marks or leaking capacitors.

There are also stress tests that you can run. These use different parts of your computer (often the CPU) to make sure that they are not overheating nor have problems.

windows 8 or RT

Windows RT and windows 8 are look nearly identical with the new tile based screen and the available desktop mode. They look same but behave entirely differently which obviously create confusion. Here I am going to point out some difference which will help you to understand the difference:

1. In terms of price windows 8 pro will be available to purchase standalone in $70. Microsoft said that user can be able to update windows 8 pro online on Oct 26 in $40. Windows RT in technically priceless. It will only be available built into specific devices. It’s cost is expected to less than windows 8 devices.
2. Windows 8 runs on x86 devices, powered by Intel or AMD chips. Windows RT will only run on ARM-powered devices.
3. Windows 8 have estimated battery life is 8-10 hrs but windows RT have more longer battery life estimated to be 20 hrs.
4. The interface of windows 8 is full of features you can use all the third party software in desktop mode but in windows RT you can’t use third party software in desktop mode.
5. Windows 8 will be able to run all the software including third party but windows RT only support apps from windows store and its built-in version of Office 2013.

You have to purchase windows 8 if you want to have a full featured operating system with an actually useful desktop mode. If you want a tablet then windows RT is a good fit. Remember that windows RT is limited to apps in windows store which is not very robust yet. You can check for new updates for windows now.
