Operating System Corruption

Operating system corruption can be difficult to detect. It typically comes in the form of slowed down performance and the occasional “random” shut down. This can occur if the device hits a driver conflict, a corrupted component of the operating system, a failed window update or an older drive conflicting with hardware (typically as the result of a windows update). This can be extremely frustrating, especially when you are in the middle of working and you get the dreaded “blue screen of death” (BSOD), or in more recent operating systems the 🙁 “Oops something went wrong” explanation.

If any of the above sounds like it may be the case, you may be experiencing a failure in the operating system for one reason or many. If this is the case, it is best to leave the machine off as you cannot “typically” cause any additional damage with the machine in the power-off state.

Another cause of OS corruption or “random” shutdowns are due to outdated hardware drivers. The hardware drivers are the piece of software (or program) that allows the hardware component and the software component (operating system) to communicate with one another. This can easily be the cause of frustration if the current driver is outdated or is not supported in the operating system you are using.
