System restore , blue screen error , screen of death

System Restore

                                                                      System restore is a useful tool to restore your system to an earlier point in time(i.e. when it was in a good condition).System restore uses  "Restore points" to restore its previous position.These restore points are automatically created by windows periodically. They can be manually created when you feel that your system is in a good condition.  Automatically created Restore points can be deleted to free up the C Drive.A good restore point created manually is enough.

                                                                     System restore is useful in solving many problems.When your system crashes or gets stuck even after a small time without leaving a reason behind,it is difficult to trace the problem in that short time."Blue screen error" or "Screen of death" is one of the best example where system restore is preferred.When a system suffers from Screen of death it automatically hangs within a short time  and shows a blue screen intimating that "your PC is malfunctioning due to a newly installed program or driver.In that short span of time it is very difficult to trace out the problem and hence ":System restore" is used to get back the PC to a good condition.

Restore Point:

                                                                   A restore point is theoretically a landmark that we flagged to get back to that position when we find ourselves missing in a mysterious place.Practically speaking it is a backup
of the system files and all programs which are used to restore when we perform system restore.

Automatically created restore points:

Windows automatically creates restore points periodically detecting the changes in newly added programs and drivers.
Search for "system restore" in search box of start menu .
A "System restore" window appears describing the system restore...  click "next".
 Here windows displays the restore points available in your PC .By selecting a proper restore point PC can be restored to the date restore point was created.

Manually creating a restore point:

When you find your PC in a good healthy condition it is better to use that as a restore point.
1.Right click on "My computer" select "properties" .
2.Now it shows the control panel,select "system protection" at the left side.

3.There opens a new window "System properties" > "System protection" where you can find about configuring and creating restore points.

4.Select "create" and give a name to the new restore point.

 "Configure" allows you to manage the amount of disk space that you are willing to allocate to the restore points.There the automatically created restore can  be deleted to free the C Drive.


This is how restore points are created and used.
This can be used as a solution for various problems such as unexpected system hangs,crashes and blue screen errors.
