Say Goodbye to "Blue Screen of Death" ...Stay happy with your laptop :)


Do you get a Blue Screen (like the one shown below) often while you work with your laptop?
Are u feeling Distressed and Desperate about this Blue Screen of Death (BSoD) ?


Here comes the solution:
Do the following to fix the annoying BSoD problem

For Windows 7 users

3. Click Folder Options and select the View tab.

After deleting the Minidump file and Sysdata.xml file, you need to reset the Pagefile.sys file. The paging file is an area on the hard disk that Windows uses as if it were random access memory (RAM). This is sometimes known as "virtual memory."

parameters.
6. Click the "No paging file" option.

8. Click OK in the System Control Panel Applet dialog box.
9. Click OK in the Performance Options dialog box.
10. Click OK in the System Properties dialog box.
11. Restart the computer.

When the computer restarts, perform the following steps:

1. Click Start and select Control Panel.
2. Click Performance and Maintenance and then click the System icon.
3. Click the Advanced tab and then click Settings under Performance.
4. Click the Advanced tab and then click Change under Virtual memory.
5. In the Virtual Memory dialog box, type the Initial size (MB) and the
Maximum size(MB) that was written down in step 5.
6. Click Set and then click OK.
7. Click OK in the System Control Panel Applet dialog box.
8. Click OK in the Performance Options dialog box.
