Use System Restore. If your system recently
started blue-screening, crashing, or if you believe
you are affected by a virus, use System Restore to
roll its system software back to a previous state.
If this works, you’ll know that it’s likely a software
problem.
To do a System Restore:
Right click the Start Menu > Go to Settings >
Update & Security
Click “Recovery” > click “Get Started”
You will be prompted with two options:
Keep my files (Keeps software installed)
Remove everything (Factory Reset) –

Set Optimize Defaults. There may be a memory
issue or overclocking of the unit, we’d like to

this will direct you into the BIOS Settings
3. Go to the “Save & Exit” tab

Defaults”, click “Enter”

Boot Into Safe Mode. If your computer is
blue-screening every time you turn it on, try
booting into safe mode . In safe mode, Windows
loads only the essential drivers. If a driver you’ve
installed is causing Windows to blue screen, it
shouldn’t do so in safe mode. You can work on
fixing the problem from safe mode.
Check for Hardware Problems. Blue screens
can be caused by faulty hardware in your
computer. Try testing your computer’s memory for
errors and checking its temperature to ensure that
it isn’t overheating . If that fails, you might need to
test other hardware components.
