A STOP error, also called a Blue Screen of Death, occurs when Windows has suffered such a serious error that it has no choice but to "stop" completely.
Since a STOP error gives you no option but to restart, troubleshooting can be very difficult. Luckily, almost every STOP error includes a STOP code that can be used to research the cause of the STOP error.
Below are links to detailed information on individual STOP errors including what each STOP code means and any troubleshooting information I have on that STOP error.
Tip: All STOP codes below are listed in order. See How to Count in Hexadecimal for help.
