@Weebarra, try to restart your PC to see if you momentarily get the desktop, the fact is it is not easy to diagnose the BSOD but if you can download: Blue screen of death (STOP error) information in dump files. it would be useful.
It is a small utility able to parse all of the minidump files written to the HDD after a fatal error. The program requires no installation and to be started, simply download the ZIP archive, extract it and double click on the executable BlueScreenView.exe.
Then you should post here the report.

Fixing “0x00000019” on Windows

Fix #3: Uninstall anti-malware software (risky, but I have seen this from time and time again)
Sometimes anti-malware software, like Malware Bytes, can be the main cause of this error.

Uninstall any anti-malware software running on your computer and then restart your computer.

Please be advised you should have some kind of protection enabled. Maybe doing a fresh install of the software will help. Revo Uninstaller Pro has a 30 free trial to get out all remaining stuff left behind from an AV or Anti-Malware.

Right i am back :eek:. I don't know what happened but i just did a hard shut down but the funny thing is, i didn't get the usual message that "windows did not shut down correctly, start in safe mode, etc" it just started normally. I'm wondering if had overheated or something because it was really hot. Will i just forget it and move on or should i try to find out what happened (when i say i, i really mean you people cause i haven't a clue on how to figure any of that out) :giggle:

I last had a BSOD about a year ago, it happened 2 or 3 times on the same day and then just stopped - I to this day am still clueless as to the cause of it, but have been trouble free since... Touch wood! :rolleyes::p

Apologies @Lightning_Brian , i didn't see your reply in amongst that and what with being on that darned tablet , i will read your suggestion tomorrow if you don't mind, i'm too frazzled to take it in right now unfortunately but i do thank you and every one else for trying to help me.

@tim one , i managed to download that "thingy" but need to figure out how to get it in my post here, because the report looks enormous and i can't seem to capture it all.

I know more people have replied since and i am not being ungrateful or rude but i can't take the words in right now so please forgive me if i have appeared rude, it is not intentional and i will look at all the replies with fresh eyes tomorrow.


The dreaded BSOD! I'm no expert but this might help: What is a bad pool header and how do I fix it?

If it don't, I'm sure one of the other Minions on here will be able to help ya fix ya problem ;)

P.S. - Just noticed that you are a real minion now, lol

@Weebarra All good! Glad your back up. Maybe you can upload that mini dump for us. We can then spot what is going on.

Hello again guys :rolleyes:, well it happened again twice this morning although the report below doesn't show them up, it only shows last nights for some reason but after much internet searching on how to read the dump file, i still couldn't find it or view it (even though it seems to be saved somewhere :unsure:) anyway, i tried a couple of the suggestions that @Lightning_Brian mentioned, ran the diagnostics tool>no memory issues, checked all my drivers > they are all up to date, I only have Zemana AM but it is purely as on demand scanner so i don't think i needed to do anything with that ( i am sure you will correct me if i'm wrong) then i tried the programme that @Telos suggested and got this (hopefully i can insert it) but it means nothing to me really. Thanks for trying to help me anyway but i might have to buy a new machine or i might just get a cat as apparently as my friend @SHvFl told me if i had a cat, it wouldn't have happened, lol.
