Internal stack overflow system halted

Stack overflow system halted error occurs because of too low stack space specified in config.sys file.

1)      Unhide protected operating system files using folder option. Follow the steps below in image.

 

2)      Go to C: and open config.sys in notepad.

3)      Edit the config.sys and make sure that line STACKS are at least set to 12,256. For instance, the line should read like:

STACKS=12,256

Restart your Pc and check whether it is working fine or not, I hope it will be working fine. J
