Fix Windows XP Blue Screen of Death, Or Windows Stop Error

Some people have reported they have solved the problem with a simple reboot and have never see the blue screen again. But more typically, the Blue Screen of Death will mean that something serious is wrong with your PC. Looking at how to fix the Blue Screen of Death, there are no simple answers to that. Carrying out a repair means first diagnosing the problem to find out what is wrong with your computer.
A sample blue screen looks as following:

A problem has been detected and window has been shut
down to prevent damage to your computer. The problem
seems to be caused by the following file: cap256.sys IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR-EQUAL
Stop: 0x0000000A .
(0x00700005,0x00000002,0x00000000,0x8051CD07,0x005600613, 0x00540046)

First, a quick introduction of what the Blue Screen of Death is. This error happens whenever Windows xp detects a major problem from which it cannot recover. The Windows operating system stops all operations and it shows diagnostic information on the blue screen. All Windows XP stop errors will be numbered according to the reasons that caused the fault in the first place, these error codes will help in the diagnosis of the problem so it might be a good idea to write down the error code number whenever they appear. It is possible to work out the problem just from this code or at least take note of the full code for further advice from a computer technician or even from the internet. The very first thing I always do when this happens is open my computer case and take out and reset my memory modules and the restart the computer. Sometime a bad connection with the memory can cause a lock up leading to a blue screen. If this doesn't work I will then check my PC has good ventilation and none of the air vents are blocked, as overheating can also cause this to happen.
The problem might also be your hard drive, you may have to renew your old one and reinstall your Windows XP from scratch. Always remember to backup your important data on an external drive or DVD disc just in case you loose any.
