Troubleshooting Windows 8
October 19, 2011Since Windows 8 isn’t out yet, I can’t give you specific ways to troubleshoot it, but if you do get the new, user-friendly Blue Screen of Death with Windows 8, we mentioned a few things last week that you could do about it.
Anti Virus Windows 8 Solutions
Once you’ve done everything you can, if the BSoD recurs, you don’t need to downgrade to Windows 7 or start using Linux. Go through whatever process worked before, but this time be sure to run quality anti virus software and a Registry Cleaner. This is critically important, as if you don’t get rid of whatever viruses are on your computer causing your Blue Screen of Death, they will keep coming back, just like a real virus.
Registry Cleaning for Computer Health
If the problem is in your registry, the Registry Cleaner should fix it. This is more common than you might think, as conflicts in the registry can easily result in a system crash, and hence, a Blue Screen of Death.
Remember, there’s no reason to think that Windows 8 will cause any more BSoDs than any other Windows OS, and hopefully, it will cause fewer. Regardless, you have some time to worry about it, as Windows 8 probably won’t be released until 2012.
