HP PCs - Error Messages Display on a Blue Screen (Windows 10)

There are many reasons that a computer displays a blue screen when operating or when it fails to start or boot into the Windows operating system. If your computer displays a blue screen, you might see or hear symptoms to indicate the general area of the problem.

If you are not sure what the problem is, go to HP PCs - Computer Does Not Start (Windows 10, 8).

Use this document if the computer stops responding and displays a blue screen or continually restarts. In most cases, an error message or code is displayed on the blue screen, the computer does not respond to commands typed on the keyboard, and it is necessary to press and hold the power button for 15 seconds or more to turn off the computer.

Note:

Depending on your version of Windows, some graphics and information in this document might vary slightly.

If your computer suddenly fails to boot properly, you might need to try the following solutions in order until the issue is resolved: disable auto restart, perform a power reset, use Microsoft System Restore, test for hardware faults, or update your computer in addition to other troubleshooting steps.

Disabling the automatic restart option to view error messages
