Recommended things to do after solving BSOD issue


Recommended Posts

Was having some problems with my PC where it was crashing at first after a couple of hours and then within a few minutes if it would actually boot up, tried reset windows and using a restore point but no joy

 

Believe i've eventually found the issue by taking out each stick of RAM and trying on its own as i found 1 x 16GB stick that wouldn't work so after removing the defective one and refitting all the others PC seems to be working normally

 

Considering the number of crashes between issue starting and finding the problem concerned stuff in the background might have got screwed up, are there any recommendations (other than doing a complete re-install) to check that nothing was screwed over?

 

Thanks

Incase anyone else has this sort of problem seems the answer was to create a windows install USB and then run setup.exe from within windows (i.e. while logged on) to do a repair install which doesn't remove/lose any of the user files/programs
