Windows 10: Clear screen of purple death

How to remove purple death in windows 10

:)

 

Windows non-Blue Screens of Death... Green and Orange?

Many BSODs are listed in the article
Purple, Brown, Yellow, Orange, Red, Green Screen of Death explained.

Purple Screen of Death

Mainly seen when the VMkernel of an ESX/ESXi host experiences a critical error,
becomes inoperative and terminates any virtual machines that are running.
Requires reboot using the power button.

Brown Screen of Death

Mostly associated with game-plays, linked mainly to graphics.
Usually arrives when a PC game forces CPU and memory to run at speeds higher than
their official speed grade (over-clocking).

Yellow Screen of Death

Happened usually with Firefox accompanied by a weird buzzing sound, after an XML.
Probably does not exist any more.

Red Screen of Death

Mostly indicates issues related to the graphics driver and the corresponding
applications, caused usually by installing wrong drivers or by software conflicts
on boot.

Orange Screen of Death

Usually indicates fatal hardware errors and has many causes such as
watching a video, when booting into Windows, waking up from Sleep, BitLocker,
or when adding a second monitor

Green Screen of Death

Intended for Windows Insiders testing for upcoming Windows 10 test builds,
to make it easier for Microsoft support staff to differentiate between errors
in test builds and in production.

As Microsoft staff are not infallible, sometimes colored BSODs happen not
according to the above purpose.

 

screen times out into purple "death screen"

Ever since I got a new hard drive, my screen often times out into a solid purple "screen of death", whereby nothing works and the only way to recover anything is to press and hold the Power off button and reboot the entire system. Sometimes, the death screen
will eventually time out into a home screen that eventually gives me the ability to sign in - but even this might only happen after 3-5 time-outs. Other times, it times out into a screen that shows all of my icons (ie. Word, Excel, Foxit, etc.) in the bottom
bar. Again, it will usually eventually time out. However, I should be able to sign in immediately, not after waiting 5-10 minutes for multiple time-outs ... or a hard reboot.

The tech repair guy hasn't explained this to me and says I need to upgrade from Windows 8 to Windows 10 to resolve the problems. Is this reasonable for me to have to do?

 

Clear Pagefile on Shutdown


I've been looking into clearing the pagefile, and I found the following steps at a somewhat dated webpage:

1. In the registry editor, navigate to: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Session Manager\Memory Management
2. Set ClearPageFileAtShutdown to the REG_DWORD value of 1.
3. Restart Windows.

I'm just wondering whether those steps are still valid, and, if so, does clearing the pagefile work as advertised?
