System Error Codes

System error codes often are displayed in many different areas within the Windows operating system and in software programs after certain computer errors are encountered.

In many cases you may only be shown an error code number which tells no information about what the error really signifies for you! Learning the meaning of a system error code is important to repairing the error.

Device Manager Error Codes

Windows Device Manager generates its own special type of error codes and error messages called Device Manager error codes. The Windows Device Manager generates error codes when your system has device driver errors, system resource conflicts, or other hardware trouble.

"STOP" Error Codes

When Windows sustains such a severe error that it must "stop" entirely, a STOP error or "Blue Screen of Death" is displayed.

Troubleshooting a STOP error can be really challenging since it presents you no option but to restart the computer. Luckily, most STOP errors include a STOP code which can be utilized to research the cause of the STOP error.
