Run a system scan
SYSTEMSERVICEEXCEPTION blue screens are usually caused by a system driver error. These aren’t like your chipset or graphics drivers where you can (and should) update them yourself, but fortunately, Windows has a built-in scan tool to help fix file system and Windows driver errors.
If the blue screen won’t let you boot to Windows, try booting into Safe Mode.
Step 1: Search for “Powershell” in the Windows search bar. Right-click the corresponding result and select Run as administrator.
Step 2: Type the following, then press Enter.
Dism /online /cleanup-image /restorehealth
This will find and replace any missing or corrupted files within the Windows Component Store. Let it complete its process.
Step 3: Additionally, you can try running the System File Checker to check over Windows system files. Run that through PowerShell too, with this command:
SFC /scannow
Step 4: After running these scans, try rebooting your PC. Check if your BSOD issue is now resolved. If not, proceed to the next method.
Run driver verifier
If the file system check tools didn’t work, you can try running Windows’ built-in driver verification tool to see if it’s a system driver issue.
Note: If the driver verifier finds a corrupt driver, it can trigger a BSOD, so consider making a system restore point or back up your data manually to play it safe.
Step 1: Search for “Powershell” in the Windows search bar. Right-click the corresponding result and select Run as administrator.
Step 2: Type in “verifier.exe” and press Enter.
Step 3: In the window that appears, select Create standard settings from the top of the screen, then select Next.
Step 4: Select Automatically select all drivers installed on this computer then select Finish.
Step 5: Reboot your PC and wait for the driver verifier to complete during startup. Note down any errors that occur, as they should indicate the driver you need to update, upgrade, or replace.
Use system restore
If none of the above methods help solve the problem, try reverting to a system restore point. This can fix a number of issues, especially if you’ve recently installed new hardware.
Roll back your system to a point where it wasn’t giving you blue screen errors, and you might be able to get your PC functioning again.
If you still can’t resolve the BSOD error, consider resetting Windows to factory defaults.
