Blue screen error is also called black screen error or stop code error. This can happen when a serious problem causes the computer to suddenly shut down or restart. Such errors can occur from hardware or software. This could be due to some new hardware. Experts say that if this problem persists then the computer can be started in safe mode. Apart from this, the operating system should also be updated.
What is Crowdstrike?
CrowdStrike is a cyber security platform that provides security solutions. This platform works closely with Microsoft and its job is to provide security solutions to businesses and users. Their main product is Falcon, which uses AI technology to detect and prevent malicious files and behavior on networks and endpoints. Cyber attacks are also detected with the help of Falcon.
It has been said in the report that this problem has arisen due to Microsoft‘s buggy update. It started due to a lack of coordination between the Windows system and CrowdStrike’s Falcon sensor. This was also accepted by CrowdStrike. Also, work on solving the problem was started immediately by the engineers.
How dangerous is the Blue Screen of Death?
Talking about BSOD, it is a serious error which appears on the Windows operating system. This system appears to be in a state of crash. If this error occurs, your system may stop suddenly. Also data may also disappear suddenly. Therefore you need to be very cautious. But its significant impact has been seen at airports in America when passengers were allowed to enter flights by giving them hand-written slips instead of boarding passes.
