With so many things that can go wrong with your computer, practically everyone has experienced an error message. Usually it’s just an application that freezes up and we get the ‘Not Responding’ message, where we simply choose to either wait it out, until it resolves itself, or choose to stop the application from running.

The problem is, for most users, Stop error codes are not just one time occurrences. Usually the cause of the blue screen crash is a software or hardware fault or incompatibility.
