“The system has recovered from a serious error” message
When i turn on my PC an errors appear on the screen, “The system has recovered from a serious error. A log of this error has been created ….”
What is the problem? do I need to reformat my PC? or this is a virus?
It could be a number of things. Something is causing an error when your computer shuts down.
First, you should check your hard drive is free of errors. Be warned that this can take some hours to run. We find it best to leave it overnight.
Once the chkdsk has finished make sure your computer doesn’t have a virus or spyware infection.
Once that is finished, uninstall any programs you don’t use.
Then, clean up your computer.
If the problem is still continuing you’ll need to consider reformatting or calling a tech to investigate further. We’d suggest the latter as it actually could be something benign.
Remember though to backup your data as these sort of messages are often an indication something may be going badly wrong.
