I have just had a blue screen after having a bluescreen, then running a Uniblue Registry Booster scan till there were no more errors, scanned with malwarebytes-anti malware then scanned with avast free antivirus to show no infections.
Please can someone help to be stop another bluescreen.

Thank you.😡
 
Have you updated any drivers recently, or added a new piece of hardware?

Any problems in Device Manager?

Look in Event Viewer (if Windows) for clues at the time of the bluescreen.

Could also be RAM. You can try booting with just one stick. Test each stick individually.

Also I would avoid registry "Boosters" or cleaners.

Did you try Safe Mode?

Device manager is fine. No drivers updated. No piece of hardware added either.
I am safe mode as I type this and I will do scans again and report back.
Not sure what I am looking at when event viewer and I do not remember when the last BS was either.

Well next time it happens, note the time. Look for Yellow Caution events, and red Error events in Windows Application and System logs.

Try google. Search for the error code you are getting and you may find some clues. It may take digging deeper than the first hit.

BSOD = Blue Screen of Death. It's a common term for the blue "stop error" screen you asking for help with.

Usually, there will be some line near the top that gives some information about the stop error.
In the pic I posted, it says:
DRIVER_IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL

That gives a starting point for troubleshooting the problem.
Also, there should be some text that gives more info about the stop error, and will look something like this:
0x0000007e.
Those stop error codes are searchable and can also provide some information about the problem.
 
Cheers guy's. I'll look in to it when it happens.

Seperate question - How do i set up my account to receive an email when I get a response to my thread?

Thank you.:\
