What is Blue Screen Of Death (BSOD)
The blue screen of death (BSOD) is a warning that appears when your computer interrupts operations and displays this warning on a blue screen. It's formally known as a "stop error." The warning alerts you to a critical problem that is causing Windows to reboot.
Root Causes
- Hardware failure (Faulty HDD, Memory, CPU, Motherboard, Power Supply)
- Software Failure (Operating System, installed Software errors)
Case Example
BSOD and unexpected power-down issues with the new Asus Mini PC.
Root Cause of the Case
The BSOD was revealed to be caused by the use of an unsuitable low-ampere power adapter,
Example:-Using Power Adapter -19V 2.5 Amps instead of the ASUS PN64 Mini PC Recommended Power - 20V DC 6A.
Resolution
The issue was caused by the use of a low-amperage power adapter, which failed to supply sufficient power for the MiniPC to operate properly. As a result, the system experienced unexpected shutdowns during boot and occasional BSOD (Blue Screen of Death) errors.
