Indlela yesi-10: Jonga uBonelelo lwaMandla

A faulty or failing Power Supply is generally the cause for the Bluescreen of death errors. Because the power consumption of hard disk is not met, it won’t get enough power to run, and subsequently, you may need to restart the PC several times before it can take the adequate power from PSU. In this case, you may need to replace the power supply with a new one or you could borrow a spare power supply to test if this is the case here.

Ubonelelo lwaMandla olungalunganga

If you have recently installed new hardware such as video card then chances are the PSU is not able to deliver the necessary power needed by the graphic card.
