Facing a PC error screen and overcoming it

For PC users there is one moment we all dread. That is starting up our computer and staring at a blue or black error screen. Windows error screens which represent a crashed operating system are fairly common. What is the solution to this problem? The resolution is to reload the operating system. The only problem with that is when you do so, all of the files which were on the computer are overwritten and rendered inaccessible. So, before reloading Windows you must use a hard drive data recovery utility to find and copy out all of the files within your computer’s hard drive.
