Common window errors and their solution. It is very typical to run into an error while working on your computer, and especially while exploring the internet. Errors are completely regular occurrences that indicate that something is amiss with your computer. It could be a malfunctioning driver, a device, or a recently installed app that isn’t working well with the other modules. The majority of individuals ignore these problems and do a thorough clean and re-installation of the operating system instead. Sure, that will usually solve the problem, but you don’t cut and remove your hand and replace it with a prosthetic every time it itch. We looked at some of the most prevalent errors that we run across on a regular basis, what such mistakes represent, and what you may do to fix them.

Here are some of the common window errors and their solution
The POST system beeps
This is most likely the first mistake you’ll see when turning on your computer. You will hear one beep (or two, depending on the brand of your motherboard) if all of the critical components within the computer are working properly. A single beep indicates that your computer has successfully completed the POST procedure (Power-on self-test). If you hear more than one beep, though, it implies that your computer’s hardware isn’t working properly. Any excess amount of beeps you hear could indicate malfunctioning hardware, depending on the brand of your computer’s motherboard (and also the BIOS version). It could be anything from a non-functioning graphics card to a CMOS battery that has run out of juice.
Death’s Blue Screen (BSoD)
Regardless of which version of Windows you’re using, the Blue Screen of Death, or BSOD, is something you’ve probably seen a few times by now. Unlike most errors, there is no way to recover from this one in real time. You can’t prevent it by using ESC, and you can’t fix it straight away by pressing Ctrl + Alt + Del. This issue typically happens as a result of a recent hardware or software change on your machine. After restarting, unplug any new devices you’ve connected to your computer and uninstall any new software you’ve installed while in Safe Mode.
You can also use Nirsoft BlueScreenView, a handy freeware programme, to deal with these scenarios. To discover out what caused the problem, the app examines the system dump files and logs. WhoCrashed and Reliability Monitor are two alternatives.
Virtual Memory is insufficient
This is yet another common blunder. It usually happens when you don’t have enough RAM or when a programme is using or leaking your valuable memory. Computers have clever ways of dealing with programmes, either by providing them with physical memory or by using virtual memory, which is essentially your hard-drive memory in place of physical memory. To fix this problem, you’ll need to purchase extra RAM chips.
Increase the size of the pagefile if you believe your current RAM(s) are sufficient for the amount of work you undertake. Go to Control Panel, System, and Security to do so. Click Advanced system settings, then settings from the Advanced tab inside the performance window. Typically, the size of the PageFile should be 1.5 to 2 times the RAM memory.
Errors with devices
It’s possible that some problems in a device’s driver module have caused it to cease working recently. You’ll need to go to the Device Manager to discover out what’s wrong with that device. To get there, go to the start menu and type devmgmt.msc in the search box. Now go to the device’s properties by right-clicking on it. Select ‘Update Driver’ from the drop-down menu. If updating the driver does not fix the problem, go to Device Status and look for an error code. If you look up that code on the internet, you’ll find connections to a slew of forums, including Microsoft’s help site, that explain and solve your problem.
Errors with fatal consequences
Many programmes and hardware components in a computer share memory and other resources. If a program’s request isn’t honoured for some reason, an error message stating “unhandled exception” will appear, and the application may even terminate. In the worst-case scenario, the computer may potentially shut down.
Error Codes in the Operating System
Mistake codes are assigned by software programmers according to a procedure that informs end users and IT support about the error and what it entails. You can go to Microsoft’s help site to see a list of all the problem codes as well as what they mean. Error “22,” for example, refers to “ERROR BAD COMMAND,” which indicates that the command you submitted is unknown to the software. Error “225 (0xE1)” denotes “ERROR VIRUS INFECTED,” which means the application was unable to complete the operation due to the presence of a virus or other potentially undesirable programme in the file.
Errors in the Browser
There are many different types of 4xx and 5xx errors that you may encounter while exploring the web. While some errors, such as 404 (Page Not Found) and 408 (Connection timed out), are caused by the server you have ping, others are caused by your browser. However, there are a few issues that can be attributed to your browser.
Error code 403
The error 403 indicates that your machine has established a connection, but you lack the necessary credentials to see the page. Try again after looking for authorization/authentication details.
501 or 505 Error
This error indicates that your browser is out of date and so does not support the HTTP protocol version. Alternatively, your browser lacks the necessary plugins, such as Java or Flash, to show the page’s content. In either case, you could update your browser, and because all major browsers now include basic 3rd-party services, your browser should be able to display the material. You can also visit their official websites to download the necessary plug-in.
Error code 403
The error 403 indicates that your machine has established a connection, but you lack the necessary credentials to see the page. Try again after looking for authorization/authentication details.
Error code 406
This error indicates that your computer (and, of course, your browser) lacks the necessary software to access the content. Make sure you download the necessary software, and the issue should be resolved.
