Tech Tip 1: Update Drivers and Software
Outdated drivers often cause blue screens:
- Update Drivers: Use Device Manager (Windows) or Software Update (Mac) to update graphics and system drivers.
- Check Windows Updates: Install the latest OS updates to fix known bugs.
- Scan for Malware: Run Windows Defender or a third-party antivirus to rule out infections.
Tech Tip 2: Check Hardware Connections
Loose or faulty hardware can trigger BSOD:
- Inspect RAM: Reseat RAM sticks or run Windows Memory Diagnostic to test for errors.
- Check Storage: Ensure hard drive or SSD cables are secure (consult a professional if unsure).
- Test Peripherals: Disconnect external devices (e.g., USB drives) to isolate issues.
