Blue screen of death after reformatting
I reformatted a harddisk because every time It access windows the BSOD appears, but after having a clean reformat the error is still there. (after installing win 98se.)
It's actually my uncle's PC, but I really have no clue how to fix it. I suggested him that it might be the harddisk or the memory.  What is the common cause of BSOD? Is it hardware related? |

Depends on what the error is. Bad memory is a common cause however.

With Windows 98 it might be hard to tell. The blue screens in that don't tell you f all.

Try memtest, it can tell if your memory is bad...

I used to have an annoying, unpredictable BSOD in my new PC. First it was due to a defective vid card. However, many Ghosts later, I realized that the hard drive was a little loose. Odd that it never failed during data transfer....
Yeah... sounds far fetched but it's worth a try. Try making sure everything is connected properly.
