How To Repair Unmountable Boot Volume Blue Screen Fault - By: NathanT

You're happily working away, and then without warning, your computer throws up the dreaded Unmountable Boot Volume Blue Screen of Death! Often, the blue screen freeze occurs after installation or update of software or hardware. If this is the case it's highly likely that there is a fault with the registry key or device driver.

If this solves the issue, contact the manufacturer for an updated driver or visit their site. Hasn't stopped the blue screen error codes from coming up? Search for a solution online by typing in the error message.

Finding a solution for the mysterious stop error code alone can be difficult if you're not a tech-person Even for an expert PC technician, an error code may not provide an instant answer and take a little trial and error before a solution is found. By far the most reoccurring reason for stop error codes, as well as sluggish PC performance, is a poorly kept registry.

It doesn't take long for a computer's registry to fill up with registry entries. The registry is like the computer's librarian. Important configuration settings are kept in your registry folder for the system setup, any hardware and software installed, and your system profile and preferences. The registry keeps a record of what files you've created, in addition to any important changes you've made to your computer, such as installation of hardware and applications.

The installation of third party software, as well as incorrect software installation can add unwanted registries as well as duplicates. Inevitably over time your registry becomes bloated with these invalid and useless entries which will invariably affect your computer's performance. You may experience a slower start up, time lag when using applications and general sluggishness.

The computer registry can also become infected and corrupted by external threats such as Trojan horse, spybots and other nasty worms and viruses. There is no such thing as complete protection, but having good antivirus and anti-spyware installed and running will help to protect your PC. Ensure your running the latest update and that your antivirus application is working properly. In addition have firewall turned on, although this should be a default Windows setting.

A registry in disarray is the likeliest cause for the Blue Screen of Death and other errors. What is more, registry issues can cause instability in the operating system. When a blue screen crash occurs any unsaved data may be damaged or lost. Removing and editing redundant and damaged registries is a good idea to help keep your computer run more smoothly. However, you have to remember that anything changes that you do make in the Windows registry, can't be undone. Before you go ahead and make changes, save a copy of the original registry first, in case something goes wrong.

Rushing in to fix the registry problem can cause a complete system failure if you don't know what you're doing. If you plan to edit the registry, you should save anything that you want to keep on your computer on an external hard drive. However, at least make sure you do some research on how to do so before you begin. It would be better to find a person who knows what they're doing or a computer specialist. An inexpensive alternative to fix your computer is to use a registry cleaning program.
