Episode 121: Windows Symptoms — BSOD, Boot Issues, Low Memory

17 Aug 2025

Description

This episode covers some of the most common and dramatic symptoms you'll face when troubleshooting Windows systems. We begin with the infamous Blue Screen of Death—also known as BSOD—explaining what causes it, how to interpret error codes, and what logs or tools to use when diagnosing the issue. Then we move into boot problems, such as systems getting stuck on the Windows logo, reboot loops, or messages like “Operating System Not Found.”We also explore low memory symptoms, including system sluggishness, app crashes, and excessive disk swapping. You’ll learn how to identify whether the issue is truly memory-related or if it’s caused by malware, excessive startup programs, or background services. CompTIA loves to present vague error descriptions and ask for the most likely root cause, so this episode will help you connect those dots efficiently. Brought to you by BareMetalCyber.com.
