To fix Blue Screen of Death (BSoD) errors in Windows 7, you can try any of the following tips:

Tip #1: System Restore

Follow the instructions from Restore Windows 7 guide on how to run System Restore for Windows 7.

Tip #2: Install updates

Similar to Windows Vista, installing recent updates from Microsoft might fix any errors you are experiencing in your Windows 7 system.

If Windows Update isn’t enabled to install the updates by itself, follow these steps to do so manually:
Click Start
In the search box, type “Update”
Choose Windows Update from the list of results
Click Check for updates, on the left
Review any pending updates
Click Install updates

Tip #3: Install the latest drivers

Make sure you have the latest device drivers installed on your system. Go to your computer’s manufacturer and check the driver’s latest version.

Many blue screen errors can be caused by an incompatible device driver. You can try removing any recently installed device driver and restarting your computer.

Tip #4: Check for hard disk errors

Windows 7 has several utility tools that can help you identify and fix certain errors. You can use these utility tools to check for hard disk or memory issues.

Check for hard disk issues:
Click Start
Go to Computer
Right-click on the main drive, where Windows 7 is installed on, and click Properties
Click the Tools tab and at the Error-checking section click Check now
Select both Automatically fix file system errors and Scan for and attempt recovery of bad sectors
Click Start

Check for memory issues:
Click Start
Click Control Panel
Type “Memory” in the search box
Click on Diagnose your computer’s memory problems from the list of results
Follow the next set of instructions on the screen

Tip #5: Startup Repair

You can run the Startup Repair tool manually if you have a recovery option preinstalled on your computer, or have the original installation disk, or have the system recovery and repair disk.

If you have Startup Repair preinstalled on the system:
Remove any CDs, DVDs or USBs from the system
Restart your computer
Press and hold F8 as your computer boots, but before the Windows 7 logo appears
At the Advanced Boot Options screen, select Repair your computer using the arrow keys and hit Enter.

If Repair your computer option isn’t listed, it means that your computer doesn’t have the preinstalled recovery option available. Use the original installation disk or a recovery disk.

Select a keyboard layout and click Next
At the System Recovery Options window, click Startup Repair

If you have the original installation disk or a recovery disk available:
Insert the installation or recovery disk
Restart your computer
Press any key to boot from the disk
Choose your language and keyboard layout (if this option is available), and then click Next
Click Repair your computer, if you’re using the Windows 7 installation disk
At the System Recovery Options screen, click Startup Repair
