• Inefficient hard drive – the solution to the problem is to format or even buy a new drive.
• Overheating of the computer – in this case you need to use the laptop for a shorter period of time. Replacing the cooling system and blowing out the vents is also a solution.
• Virus – in this case, you need to use an anti-virus that will scan the entire drive, remove viruses and provide protection against the appearance of more viruses.
• Faulty ancillary devices – it is worth checking if the blue screen problem stops when you unplug the printer or other device.
