What to do when When Windows Crashes?

Sometimes Windows XP/Vista  may encounter a problem such that it will crash immediately due to Cache or other windows files problems and will restart automatically. The main cause for this problem is due to Windows File, which keeps running your system, gets a sudden critical error and Windows XP/Vista crashes and restarts.
Some may think formatting their HardDrive and reinstalling Windows XP/Vista will help, but this may be time consuming, so I better recommend you to do the following steps

STEP 1:

During every proper shut down of Windows XP it will generally take a proper backup of all the files that are related to Windows XP and other important files.So if your PC fails in rebooting Windows XP next time you can restore those files.

This can be done by Pressing the F8 key during Windows ReBoot and then Choose “Restore last known good settings that previously worked”
 

If the above step does not work try this one
STEP2:

This problem can also be fixed by this step by using Windows XP system restore Utility.
Now do the same step ad done before during ReBoot of your PC that is pressing the F8 Key during Windows ReBoot but now choose the “Safe Mode” and press Enter




Safe Mode of windows helps in Disabling all the Windows XP Startup programs which will automatically run during normal startup.

So now after Logging into Windows XP using Safe Mode then now
Goto “Start” the click “RUN”



Type “msconfig” [without quotes]


Click on “Lanuch System restore” and click “Next” 

Click “Restore my system to an earlier time”



Now Click “Next” and on the window chooses a Restore Point and Click Next


Now your Windows will reboot and launch the system restores and all the windows file will be now restored which as it is before
 
STEP3:
 
The third Fix for this error is using an another OS which will help in finding the suspicious files.


Install a Live Linux like Ubuntu


Now Find the suspicious files which are not allowing the Windows to boot files to load
 
(If you remember my previous post regarding Ubantu, you can atleast backup your important files)
 
STEP4:
 
This is the final fix i know that is inserting the Windows XP/Vista installation Disk and then Choose “Perform Additional tasks” and from that choose “Repair” to Fix the Windows Errors
 
If you still get the same problem just try Formatting and Reinstalling, if there is any Corrupt or Missing Windows Files it can be still repaired using Windows MS-DOS facility.
