Enable error correction on your computer. Fixing errors in Windows

Critical errors when starting Windows 7 occur for many reasons: due to hardware failure, due to problems with the system itself, or due to software failures. In some cases, a direct relationship between cause and effect can be traced if a failure occurred after installing an application, driver, connecting a new device, etc. In other cases, the source of the error is difficult to determine.

Hardware problems

Problems that arise before Windows 7 starts loading are related to the hardware, so just a few words about them. The culprit of the failure can be any of the devices, but most often they are RAM and hard drive. The message that appears on the screen in case of a critical error will help you understand in more detail.

Every user has ever seen a blue screen of death (BSOD). We will leave most of what is written there behind the scenes, since to make a diagnosis, only the following is important to us:

  • error type – a line at the top of the screen, written in capital letters separated by an underscore (item 1 in the picture);
  • error code – a numeric identifier in hexadecimal form and its additional parameters (point 2 in the picture);
  • the driver or application that caused the BSOD, as well as the address where the failure occurred (point 3 in the picture). In case of problems with the equipment that arise before the initialization of drivers and in a number of other cases, this parameter is not available.

The following data may indicate problems with the hard drive or its controller:

  • 0x00000077 – KERNEL_STACK_INPAGE_ERROR
  • 0x0000007A – KERNEL_DATA_INPAGE_ERROR
  • 0x0000007B – INACCESSIBLE_BOOT_DEVICE
  • 0x00000024 NTFS_FILE_SYSTEM
  • 0x0000008E – KERNEL_MODE_EXCEPTION_NOT_HANDLED

Memory errors often make themselves known with messages like this:

  • 0x0000002E – DATA_BUS_ERROR
  • 0x00000050 – PAGE_FAULT_IN_NONPAGED_AREA
  • 0x00000077 – KERNEL_STACK_INPAGE_ERROR
  • 0x0000007A – KERNEL_DATA_INPAGE_ERROR
  • 0x0000012B – FAULTY_HARDWARE_CORRUPTED_PAGE
  • 0x0000007F – UNEXPECTED_KERNEL_MODE_TRAP
  • 0x0000004E – PFN_LIST_CORRUPT etc.

Often, RAM malfunction is manifested by a variety of errors that can happen at any time when starting up and operating the computer.

Restoring the BIOS Setup to default settings or, as they say, resetting to default often helps to resolve a simple hardware failure. This can be done in several ways: using your own BIOS option, by switching a special jumper to the mat. board or temporary loss of power to the CMOS chip (BIOS storage location).

To return BIOS Setup to default settings using its own option, you need to:

  • go to the menu by pressing the designated key immediately after turning on the machine (F2, F4, F12, Delete or others - this is written at the bottom of the motherboard splash screen);
  • open the Exit tab (usually), place the cursor on the LOAD BIOS DEFAULT option (in some versions it is called LOAD SETUP DEFAULTS or LOAD FAIL-SAFE DEFAULTS) and press Enter;
  • press F10 and Yes (or Y) to exit and save the settings.

Other methods are to switch the special jumper for resetting the BIOS to the CLR CMOS position (variants of the name are CCMOS, Clear CMOS, Clear CMOS, Clear RTC, etc.) or temporarily remove the battery on the board. On some, mat. boards have a special button for this.

If the method does not help, the failure is probably more serious and is associated with a breakdown of one of the devices. At home, you can try to find the problem unit by disconnecting it or replacing it with a similar working one. If this is not possible, you need to contact specialists.

Using Windows 7 Safe Mode

In some cases, startup failure occurs only in normal mode, and in safe mode the system boots without problems. If this is your case, use this opportunity.

To get into safe mode, press the F8 key several times before starting Windows. When you see such a list on the screen, select the desired item from it:

After loading the desktop, you need to open Start, go to the “All Programs” menu, open the “Accessories” folder, then “System Tools” and select “System Restore” from there.

This Windows 7 tool will help you fix startup errors caused by system registry corruption, deletion or corruption of important files, installation of faulty drivers, virus attacks and other system and software related issues.

  • After starting “Recovery”, you need to select a checkpoint that was created no later than the date when the failure occurred, and then click “Next”.

  • After confirming the point selection, click “Done” and wait for “Restore” to complete its work. This will return Windows 7 to the state it was before the boot errors occurred. Registry, files, drivers, updates, programs installed or changed after this date will be deleted or returned to normal. Files in user folders will not be affected.

Additionally, you can use the system to automatically search for problems and their solutions. For this:

  • boot into safe mode with network driver support;

  • Open the Control Panel, select the “System and Security” section from “Settings” and then “Check your computer’s health.”

  • Expand the “Maintenance” tab and in the “Search for solutions for problems indicated in reports” section, click “Search for solutions.”

In some cases, the system generates error reports that are sent to Microsoft Support Center. If there is a ready-made solution for your problem, you can use it.

Recovery environment

If the system does not boot into safe mode, if the recovery tool does not find any checkpoints or does not work, there is one more option - Windows RE. Windows RE is an addition to Windows 7, a recovery environment that works regardless of whether the main system boots or doesn't boot. Built-in tools in Windows RE allow you to:

  • fix problems that prevent the PC from starting normally;
  • undo recent changes by rolling back to a checkpoint;
  • check RAM using Windows 7;
  • restore the system from an archived image, if it was previously created;
  • run the sfc system file checker and repair tool, scan your hard drive, run antivirus utilities, registry editor, etc.

To get into the Windows RE environment, you need to select “Troubleshoot computer problems” from the F8 menu.

Once you reach the “Recovery Options” window, you will be able to select the tool you need.

Startup recovery

To identify and fix problems that cause Windows 7 to not boot, select the first option from the list of options: “Startup Repair.” This tool will automatically check and fix the MBR (master boot record), the status of bootable registry keys and system files. Most often, startup errors with Windows 7 can be successfully resolved with its help.

If restoring startup did not help solve the problem, you can use the same already familiar tool to undo the latest changes - “System Restore”. It happens that in safe mode Windows does not see a single checkpoint, but in the Windows RE environment it does.

To launch this tool in “Recovery Options”, use the second item from the top.

If you have a backup image created when Windows and programs were stable, you can restore from it right here. To do this, connect the drive with the image to the computer, select the third item from the list of recovery options - “Restore system image” and follow the instructions of the wizard.

The Windows Memory Diagnostics option will help identify problems with RAM if you suspect it is faulty. Above we have listed which errors when starting your computer may be a sign of problems with RAM. It is possible that it is because of them that your system does not boot.

In addition to memory failures, startup problems can also be caused by the hard drive, or more precisely, by file system errors and “bad” sectors. The recovery environment also allows you to troubleshoot and resolve these issues. To do this, via the command line, you need to run the chkdsk system utility with the /f and /r parameters, which means searching for and correcting errors, as well as restoring the contents of bad sectors, and wait for the results. No user intervention is required in this procedure - it is completely automatic.

And finally, if you suspect that the system does not boot due to a virus infection, the recovery environment allows you to run anti-virus tools.

To do this, launch the command line and open Explorer through it.

  • Enter the command into the command line notepad and press Enter to open Notepad.
  • Using the “File – Open” menu, launch Explorer - note that in the recovery environment, the drive letters sometimes do not match the letters when Windows boots in normal mode.

  • To see all the contents of directories, in the “Files of type” field, check “All files”.

  • Go to the folder where the antivirus program is located, for example, the CureIt.exe utility, and run it.

After this, restart your computer. It can be said with a high degree of probability that the next Windows release will be successful.

Considered one of the most stable, it also has its own characteristics. It can quite often produce a series of errors for an unknown reason. Now we are not talking about virus attacks, but about system errors that lead to complete “crash”.

System boot problems

First you need to pay attention to the loading of the operating system and the elements that are present in autorun. In principle, in Windows 7, a program for any type can independently determine the presence of loaded processes and provide a complete list of them for optimization or disabling.

Windows Native Tools

The standard option can be considered. In case of failures in the operating system, the system itself may offer several options such as “Normal boot” or “System Restore”. As a rule, in most cases, a normal boot only indicates that the system is not damaged. A rollback is often used in terms of system recovery, but the checkpoint may not contain data about recently installed programs and applications.

In some cases, fixing Windows 7 may use multibooting from removable media such as CD/DVD or a regular flash drive. To do this, you only need to have the necessary software components on the media itself, additionally setting the boot priority in the BIOS. This is done in the Boot Priority menu. After launching before loading Windows 7, the error correction program itself will try to identify and fix everything that is needed.

Fixing the system registry

Not every user knows that you can restore system functionality through the registry. Booting aside, during normal operation, you can use Windows 7 registry error correction using universal utilities that scan all entries and then remove and fix incorrect links or keys of deleted programs. Of course, you can perform this action manually, but it is not recommended for users who are far from understanding such changes.

Experienced users can use the registry entries located in the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE and HKEY_LOCAL_USER folders. The command to edit the system registry itself is called from the “Run” menu with the line regedit.

System optimization

Quite a lot of programs have been created to optimize the system even with one click of a mouse button. The best option is the native utility from Microsoft Windows 7 Manager. This application fixes errors in Windows automatically. It is very comfortable.

As with any other program, error correction in Windows 7 occurs without user intervention. Utilities like Glary Utilities or Ashampoo WinOptimizer work in the same way.

Defragmentation of the hard drive and registry

You can also speed up the operation and loading of the system using some applications, including fixing Windows 7 system errors, produced by the Windows 7 Manager utility. Like other programs of its kind, this software package allows you to defragment your hard drive and system registry to speed up access to data and applications by moving the relevant files to the fastest readable areas of the hard drive.

Data recovery

In passing, it is worth saying that in Windows 7, the error correction program can restore data only if the system itself is restored. If you need to revive deleted files and folders, it is better to use third-party utilities like Recuva, which can return lost information even after being deleted from the recycle bin.

System processes and their safe shutdown

Unfortunately, in Windows 7, the error correction program is not able to disable some system processes that affect performance. This can only be done using the Task Manager, in which all these processes are displayed.

Disabling some applications that load the processor or RAM is sometimes not recommended, especially if they are system services like Svhost or something similar. The rest can be disabled in the startup system. This service is called from msconfig, where the main elements are selected in the “Startup” tab. You can disable everything except ctfmon. This service displays a language indicator in the System Tray. Therefore, no errors should occur when loading the system.

And here you can use the best program for Windows 7 today, which is called Windows 7 Manager. It contains a complete set of tools for fixing errors and optimizing the system, consisting of 32 utilities.

As for using the program itself, it has several launch options. The simplest is the one-click error correction mode called 1-Click Cleaner. True, in the operating system itself, the program will check and correct errors for quite a long time (especially if defragmentation of the system registry is set). You can also use the usual login to the application, and only then select the module required for work. Moreover, in any module you can set your own parameters for checking and correcting system errors, as well as checking or cleaning the hard drive.

If we talk about the time it takes to complete all the procedures, then even in this case you will have to wait, because the program is designed specifically for the Windows 7 operating system and it itself knows how best to deal with problems (unlike most users). In addition, we can add that it was created in close cooperation between Microsoft and other developers who are able to identify system errors in the Windows 7 operating system.

A program for fixing Windows 7 errors. If this is what you were looking for, then you have come to the right place.

To cope with system errors, you often have to resort to the help of third-party programs. Today we will get acquainted with the capabilities of the five most popular of them.
