Between colors, I am sure Windows users are most scared of blue. This is the color that appears when your computer has performed an irrevocably deadly action. In simple words, it means, THE COMPUTER IS CRASHED! This is very positively a status that brings in a gush of alarm information is lost, game files are lost, downloaded music and videos are lost, and in general, a great deal of computer efforts are flushed down the drain. Blue is definitely not the color to have, if your subsistence depends on Windows.

But what is this blue screen exactly, and why does it show? The blue screen is Window's most shameful feature. It is known as the blue screen of death. The short six line message in white DOS letters that appears in the blue screen quite plainly says, generally you do, and your computer will not work again. If you are lucky, you will be able to retrieve some data. Most people aren't lucky though, and they just end up losing data and beginning life afresh from that point.

The blue screen of death occurs when the computer has performed a dead operation, i.e. an action which kills itself. This computer hari-kari is committed when a program tries to write onto the Random Access Memory (RAM) of the computer, which must never be touched in the first place. Programs will normally not try to write into a computer's RAM, but they may do so if the Read Only Memory (ROM) is full. This, in turn, happens in case of a memory leak. So, the beginnings of a blue screen of death are generally imbued in the memory leaks.

Memory leaks are caused due to faulty programs. Many times programs that you download are not written well. These programs will leave traces behind on your disk. In most circumstances, all programs keep cleaning out your disk of its temporary files, and goes on writing new files. Due to this, the memory is maintained to an optimum level. But, faulty programs may go on writing unless cleaning the beginning space first, causing what is known as a memory leak. This is what makes your computer slow, your essential memory low, and finally culminates into the blue screen of death.

So how do we avoid this? Simply, we cannot! Faulty programs will continue to wreak havoc with your computer and you cannot exactly peg which program is faulty and which is not. The least you can do is get some memory optimizer software for your computer.

Memory optimizer software does for your computer the household help does for your home. As programs write on your PC, memory optimizer software will keep on deleting the previous unwanted files, ensuring that the space on your ROM is never so full that the program has to write into the RAM. This also ensures that your computer works at its proper competency at all times.

If you want to avoid the blue screen of death, memory optimizer is the best way out. Of course, there could be other factors that could cause the death screen, but at least the optimizer software will provide some protection for your PC.
