Way 1: Run Windows Memory Diagnostic and Find RAM Problems

Windows has a utility tool called Windows Memory Diagnostic. It can help us detect memory problem of our computer. We may hard to know we are facing the RAM problems without any diagnostic tool. But the Windows Memory Diagnostic can help us a lot.

Repeat Step 1 to Step 2 and then we can see the Turn on fast startup (recommended) option.

Way 5: Upgrade All Drivers

Faulty or incompatible drivers are the major reason behind Blue Screen of Death errors. Especially, Display driver problem often leads to BSOD error. That is why we encounter blue screen error after a Windows update in most cases.

Besides, we may face some other problems. Our PC may run slowly and many applications may not work normally. We’ll provide a way to install the latest updates for our drivers.

Actually, we can check all drivers list of our computer by Windows Device Manager. Sometimes, it can help us to discern the problematic drivers and we can check for the latest updates by one click through it.

If we choose the first option, it will detect the latest driver software online and update it automatically. We may be asked for the permissions.

After choosing the second option, we need to browse and select the folder where the driver installer has been saved or downloaded. Then, our computer will install it automatically.
