How to get back your Windows from BSOD ?
I had to run some softwares in my notebook but I was unable to access it because most of the RAM was used via windows and I was able to use only 40% out of total 4GB RAM. So while searching through internet I changed the msconfig boot.ini /MAXMEM from its default (an unchecked box, but I presume 4096) to 256 while trying to get a program to load. Saved and rebooted, now all I get is a BSOD with a stop error and Restore Points and Automatic Repairs didn’t work either.
So finally after too many searching I found a correct solution and got my windows back. Here are the found steps I did to get back Windows on it’s default settings. :
Insert the Windows Disc ( as I had using Windows 8 Bootable DVD).
Boot your Computer with the CD/DVD Rom.
Now Select Repair This PC option and from there you can open Command Prompt. OR Just press SHIFT + F10 the Command Prompt will appear.
In Command Prompt type C: and press Enter.
Type
bcdedit /deletevalue default truncatememory
where “default” is the name of the identifier where “truncatememory” is listed by “bcdedit”. It deleted the old value (in my case it was 256)
Also set it to something else by typing:
bcdedit /set default truncatememory 0x100000000
NOTE : Remember to always take a backup before you start: bcdedit /export c:\bcd_backup To restore it type: bcdedit /import c:\bcd_backup
and a help file can always be found when typing bcdedit /? or more specific help about an option: bcdedit /? <option> e.g. “bcdedit /? /set”
And Now my Windows is booting without a BSOD..
