Журнал событий: Как просмотреть информацию об ошибках, исправить ошибки в Windows 10, 8 или 7

Причины появления ошибки

  • На жестком диске компьютера или ноутбука не достаточно места. Для правильной работы ОС Windows 10 на системном диске должно быть свободно 2 — 10 ГБ.
  • На компьютер был установлен не совместимый BIOS или прошивка была повреждена.
  • Установлены не совместимые с ОС драйвера устройств.
  • Реестр Windows был поврежден или удален. Возможно в результате очистки были удалены системные ключи реестра.
  • Ативирусное программное обеспечение или компьютерные вирусы могут заблокировать системные файлы или удалить важные ключи реестра.
  • В результате ошибок в работе программы для резервного копирования.
  • В результате обновления ОС Windows.

Актуально для ОС: Windows 10, Windows 8.1, Windows Server 2012, Windows 8, Windows Home Server 2011, Windows 7 (Seven), Windows Small Business Server, Windows Server 2008, Windows Home Server, Windows Vista, Windows XP, Windows 2000, Windows NT.

Вот несколько способов исправления ошибки «
INVALID_IO_BOOST_STATE»
:

Восстановите удаленные файлы

Часто появление BSoD ошибок приводит к утери важных файлов. Блокировка файлов компьютерными вирусами, ошибки в работе программ для резервного копирования, повреждение или перезапись системных файлов, ошибки файловой системы или наличие битых секторов диска – это не далеко полный список причин удаления данных.

Исправление соответствующих ошибок восстановит работоспособность устройства, но не всегда восстановит повреждённые или утерянные файлы. Не всегда имеется возможность устранить ту или иную ошибку без форматирования диска или чистой установки операционной системы, что также может повлечь за собой утерю файлов.

Загрузите бесплатно и просканируйте ваше устройство с помощью Hetman Partition Recovery. Ознакомьтесь с возможностями программы и пошаговой инструкцией.

Запустите проверку системы на вирусы

«Синий экран смерти» с ошибкой «INVALID_IO_BOOST_STATE» 0x0000013C может вызывать компьютерный вирус, заразивший систему Windows.

Для проверки системы на наличие вирусов запустите установленную на компьютере антивирусную программу.

«INVALID_IO_BOOST_STATE» 0x0000013C: Проверка системы на вирусы

Современные антивирусы позволяют проверить как жесткие диски, так и оперативную память. Выполните полную проверку системы.

Выполните проверку оперативной памяти

Неполадки с памятью могут привести к ошибкам, потере информации или прекращению работы компьютера.

Прежде чем проверять оперативную память, отключите её из разъёма на материнской плате компьютера и повторно вставьте в него. Иногда ошибка INVALID_IO_BOOST_STATE» вызвана неправильно или не плотно вставленной в разъём планкой оперативной памяти, или засорением контактов разъёма.

Если предложенные действия не привели к положительному результату, исправность оперативной памяти можно проверить средствами операционной системы, с помощью средства проверки памяти Windows.

Запустить средство проверки памяти Windows можно двумя способами:

  1. С помощью Панели управления:
    «INVALID_IO_BOOST_STATE» 0x0000013C: Запуск проверки памяти через Панель управления

    Перейдите в Панель управления / Система и безопасность / Администрирование. Запустите приложение Средство проверки памяти Windows.

  2. С помощью средства Выполнить:
    «INVALID_IO_BOOST_STATE» 0x0000013C: Запуск проверки памяти c помощью комманды выполнить

    Запустите средство Выполнить с помощью комбинации клавиш Windows + R. Наберите mdsched и нажмите Enter. После чего откроется средство проверки Windows.

Для начала проверки выберите один из предлагаемых вариантов, проверка оперативной памяти в соответствии с которым будет запущена после перезагрузки компьютера.

Если в результате проверки будут определены ошибки, исправить которые не представляется возможным, то такую память необходимо заменить (замене подлежит модуль памяти с неполадками).

Выполните «чистую» установку Windows

Если не один из перечисленных методов не помог избавиться от INVALID_IO_BOOST_STATE», попробуйте переустановить Windows. Для того чтобы выполнить чистую установку Windows необходимо создать установочный диск или другой носитель с которого планируется осуществление установки операционной системы.

Загрузите компьютер из установочного диска. Для этого может понадобиться изменить устройство загрузки в BIOS или UEFI для более современных компьютеров.

Следуя пунктам меню установщика укажите диск, на который вы хотите установить Windows. Для этого понадобится отформатировать его. Если вас не устраивает количество или размер локальных дисков, их можно полностью удалить и заново перераспределить.

Помните, что форматирование, удаление или перераспределения дисков удалит все файлы с жесткого диска.

После указания диска для установки Windows запуститься процесс копирования системных файлов и установки операционной системы. Во время установки от вас не потребуется дополнительных действий. В течении установки экран компьютера будет несколько раз гаснуть на непродолжительное время, и для завершения некоторых этапов установки компьютер будет самостоятельно перезагружаться.

В зависимости от версии Windows на одном из этапов от вас может понадобиться выбрать или внести базовые параметры персонализации, режим работы компьютера в сети, а также параметры учётной записи или создать новую.

После загрузки рабочего стола чистую установку Windows можно считать законченной.

Примечание. Прежде чем приступить к выполнению чистой установки Windows заранее побеспокойтесь о наличии драйверов ко всем установленным устройствам и сохранности ваших файлов. Загрузите и сохраните драйвера на отдельный носитель информации, а для важных данных создайте резервную копию.

15] Restore the system to a previously created restore point

One of the last things you can try out is restoring the system to a point where it was working normally without any errors or troubles. Actually, whenever you make some modification in the PC, the registry is affected. So with any change that is creating any sort of conflict or isn’t just right, BSOD or other kinds of errors and discrepancies follows. So, in this sort of situations where we don’t know what changes we made have invited the error, a system restore is an option.

  • Finally, just click on the Finish button.

Lastly, if nothing works, you can try reinstalling Windows 10 to give the system a fresh and error-free start. However, in this case, too, make sure you have a proper backup of all the important data and files. Reinstalling OS would mean a complete wash-out of anything and everything you installed or downloaded or wrote or created. So, it should be your last resort.

Hope one of these work for you!
