Causes of Windows 7 crashes and the tips to resolve the same.

Although Windows 7 is a very good operating system, the users may face system crashes, and problems like the screen suddenly going black and the system collapses. It happens mostly after logging in, playing games, web surfing, or opening new programs. It can happen if your system does not fulfill the minimum system requirements for installing Windows 7, or if your hardware drivers are not fully compatible with the operating system. Moreover, Windows 7 can also crash if your system has low disk space or its registry is damaged.

If you want to fix Windows 7 crash, you should read the following tips to resolve the issue:

Increase the System’s RAM Size
Repair the Registry
Ensure that Drivers are Compatible and Updated
Run a Complete System Scan

Increase the System’s RAM Size
Windows 7 can crash if the RAM size is low. If your system crashes repeatedly, then you should think about increasing the RAM size. Windows 7 is heavy and requires more disk space and a larger RAM size. Most of the professionals recommend 2GB RAM for smooth functioning of Windows 7. Your system should have the minimum system requirements that have been recommended by Microsoft. Most users have resolved the issue by simply upgrading the RAM size.

Repair the Registry
Registry errors can be another cause of frequent Windows 7 crashes. You should try to repair the registry errors with the help of any reliable and authentic registry repairing software. It will not only repair the registry errors, but will also improve the performance of the operating system. The use of registry repairing software is suggested after every one to two weeks, as the users install and uninstall programs, which can damage the registry of the operating system.

Ensure that Drivers are Compatible and Updated
Windows 7 can also crash if it does not have the compatible or updated drivers. You should try to locate the updated drivers for the hardware connected to the system. The updated drivers not only avoid system crashes, but also improve the functioning of Windows 7. Windows 7 has online support for the latest drivers, and also provides the links to locate them from other websites.

Run a Complete System Scan
If your system is infected with viruses or spyware, it may cause Windows 7 to crash. You should try to get the latest antivirus, having the latest virus definitions, and then scan the whole system for possible threats. It should be repeated from time to time. Moreover, along with the antivirus protection, you should also get the latest security updates from the official websites of security software providers.
