Blue screen appears whenever I shutdown windows

Asked By kimz_ky 0 points N/A Posted on - 08/13/2011

Hello Everyone!!

I am currently using a Dell Inspiron laptop with windows 7 Operating system and recently a blue screen with error message pops up.

This usually happens every time I'm trying to shut down windows or whenever I try to close a program.

What's the reason why this blue screen appears?

And what can I do to  get rid and/or prevent this error message?

Could this affect my  laptop's hardware devices?

Thanks in advance to those who will offer solutions.

If you keep receiving a blue screen error whenever you try to shut down your computer or exit an application, try using the System File Checker utility. Press the Windows key + R to bring up the “Run” dialog then type the following and then hit Enter:

sfc /scannow

Insert your Windows installation CD or DVD when you are prompted then continue. Wait until the process is complete. When it is finished, restart the computer. If this doesn’t work, try updating Windows 7 to the latest Service Pack. Download the following and install:

• Windows 7 Service Pack 1 – this is the latest and only Service Pack update for Microsoft Windows 7. This requires a system restart when updating is complete.
• Platform Update for Windows 7 – this should be installed after installing or updating to Windows 7 Service Pack 1
