Configure your network switch

Check the model number of your shiny new switch. Or, if you are using a spare, check the device hardware and its connected cables for any damages. If everything checks out, power on the switch and verify that all the indicator lights are in working order. Next, use a rollover cable to console into the switch from your computer. To do this, you will need to download and install Putty (or a similar, fun-named software tool). Run Putty and select the 9600 speed serial connection.

How to troubleshoot BSOD errors on Windows

  1. Restart Your Computer:
    • Sometimes a temporary glitch may cause a BSOD. Restart your computer and see if the issue persists.
  2. Check for Overheating:
    • Ensure your computer isn’t overheating, as this can trigger BSOD errors. Check that fans are working properly and vents are clear of dust.
  3. Check for Recent Hardware or Software Changes:
    • If you recently installed new hardware or software, it may be incompatible or causing conflicts. Consider uninstalling or removing them to see if the BSOD stops.
  4. Update Device Drivers:
    • Press Win + X and select Device Manager.
    • Look for any devices with a yellow exclamation mark, indicating driver issues.
    • Right-click on the device and select “Update driver” to search for and install updated drivers.
  5. Run Windows Memory Diagnostic:
    • Press Win + R, type mdsched.exe, and press Enter to open the Windows Memory Diagnostic tool.
    • Choose to restart your computer and check for memory problems.
    • Allow the tool to run and detect any memory issues. If errors are found, consider replacing faulty RAM modules.
  6. Check Disk for Errors:
    • Open Command Prompt as administrator.
    • Type chkdsk C: /f /r and press Enter (replace C: with the drive letter of your system drive).
    • Allow the disk check to complete and repair any errors found.
  7. Check for Malware:
    • Run a full system scan with your antivirus software to check for any malware infections that may be causing BSOD errors.
    • Consider using additional malware removal tools if your antivirus doesn’t detect anything.
  8. Check for Windows Updates:
    • Ensure your system is up-to-date by checking for and installing any pending Windows updates.
    • Go to Settings > Update & Security > Windows Update to check for updates.
  9. Restore System to Previous State:
    • If the BSOD started occurring after a recent system change, such as a driver update or software installation, consider using System Restore to revert your system to a previous stable state.
  10. Check Event Viewer for Error Details:
    • Press Win + X and select Event Viewer.
    • Navigate to Windows Logs > System and look for any error messages corresponding to the BSOD events. These may provide clues about the underlying cause.
