Reimage Review: An Automated Approach For Repairing A PC Which Cannot Boot Up Correctly
The dreaded blue screen of death is one of the least favorite sights for any Windows owner. The truth is that if the error relates to a broken registry file then the following actions can resolve the majority of blue screen problems, even when the fault stops Windows from booting up. A Reimage review is included as a final stage, to provide an insight into how PC maintenance software can be used to automate the repairs if the manual attempts fail.
When a blue screen error is displayed during system start-up then the following actions should be attempted in sequence:
- Use another Windows user account. This may bypass the fault if it relates to an individual registry hive (keys relating to one user). Once logged in, back up all personal data and either roll back the registry file (if older copies are kept) or use registry repair software to effect a fix.
- Boot up Windows in safe-mode. This halts numerous services from starting. If the registry fault relates to one of these services then you are at least getting Windows up and running and can then attempt a registry roll-back/repair as before.
- Start the PC using the Microsoft Boot Disks and execute all available system scans to identify/repair operating system/driver faults.
If the above fail then it will be necessary to resort to PC maintenance software. Reimage is a good option for home PC repairs that can boot the system (bypassing the blue screen) and establish an internet connection.
At this point the product scans the file system, OS files/drivers and the registry for faults. The Reimage repair stage then sets the registry keys based on their online knowledge base of healthy settings (hence the need for internet access) and also upgrades all application & OS files with the latest file versions.
In the event of a blue screen occurring to you it is important not to panic and following a logical approach to computer repair and maintenance. Best of all, it is always possible to fall back on using automated online services if your manual attempts do not succeed.
