If you use a computer on a regular basis, then you’re probably not all that surprised when error messages occasionally pop up now and then. Quite often, it’s just your PC trying to tell you it needs time to think and it might freeze on you for a second or two or throw up the ‘not responding’ – give me a break! message. Now Blue screen error codes however, elicit a rather different response from users compared to other errors, namely panic and dread.

In my previous office job, I actually gave up calling IT, when there was a freeze. I save them the trouble of telling me to restart the computer and just do it. Blue screen problems however are different to the usual program freeze, since you can’t shut down a non-responding program in ‘task manager.’ Unfortunately, the only way to escape from the error code is a full restart.

It’s a common assumption to think that this is a ‘one-off’ experience and you’ll be on your way, never to see a blue screen again.
