If the BSOD appears again while your computer is attempting to restart, check its error code. If the error code is 0x000000EF, you should immediately skip ahead to the next part. If not, try rebooting in Safe Mode.
If the virus scan comes up with any malicious software, remove it immediately. If the virus scan sends software settings suggestions (e. g. , battery life) to you during the scan, try implementing them. A flawed setting may cause the BSoD to appear.
This error can be trivial, but if you see it happen multiple times in a row or you’re unable to start your computer without running into the BSoD, it indicates a more serious issue.
If you’re unable to use your computer without receiving this error, you need to take your computer into a reputable repair service or shop—it may be that your hard drive or processor is failing, in which case there’s nothing you can do from your end.
Re-open Command Prompt in administrator mode. Type in Dism /Online /Cleanup-Image /CheckHealth and press ↵ Enter. Type in Dism /Online /Cleanup-Image /ScanHealth and press ↵ Enter.

System restore points are usually created when you update or install a significant piece of software or hardware. If you’ve never backed up your computer and you don’t see a restore point here, try resetting Windows instead.
If the Blue Screen of Death reappears, you may need to restore an earlier backup.
Keep my files - Keeps your files and folders when resetting your PC. Remove everything - Completely clears your hard drive. Make sure that you have a backup of your documents and files stored elsewhere (e. g. , an external hard drive) if you choose this option.
If you chose Remove everything in the last window, you’ll first click either Just remove my files or Remove files and clean the drive before this step.
If you’re still running into the BSOD at this point, it’s time to take your computer into a professional repair service to have it checked.
