The laptop screen suddenly takes you to a blue screen with the message “:( Your PC ran into a problem and needs to restart.” where access to any computer function is impossible. The only options the user is given are to either troubleshoot the problem or restart the computer.
This error usually occurs when Windows or a Windows Update was downloaded incorrectly or is acting improperly on the computer. To fix the issue, Windows will need to be reinstalled on the computer. Open up the Start tab, then the Settings tab followed by the Update & Security tab and click on the Recovery tab. Once in the Recovery tab, click on the “Get started” button under the heading “Reset this PC”. Backup any data you have on your hard drive before going any further as this will do a full reset of your drive. Once the drive is backed up, click on “Remove Everything” so that a proper reinstall occurs.
When a Blue Screen of Death (BSoD) occurs, it means that the computer’s operating system has run into an issue with operating safely causing it to restart. When the BSoD happens, write down the Stop code located at the bottom of the page. Once restarted, open the computer’s Settings through the Start button, open the Update & Security tab, and open the Troubleshoot tab. Once in the Troubleshoot area, locate the software that the Stop code from earlier is related to and click on it to run its troubleshoot. When the computer is done with the troubleshoot, click on “Apply Repairs” and the computer will automatically fix the issue. If the issue continues to occur, contact a Lenovo Support Team.
