Q:

How to Fix the Yellow Screen of Death on Windows?

Hi everyone,
I recently encountered the Yellow Screen of Death (YSOD) on my Windows PC. The screen suddenly turns yellow and the system becomes unresponsive. I’m not sure what’s causing it — could it be a hardware issue, a driver problem, or something related to .NET or IIS (as I’ve read online)?

Can anyone explain what typically causes this error and suggest reliable steps to fix it?
I’d appreciate any troubleshooting tips or permanent solutions.

Thanks in advance!

First, make sure your GPU drivers are up to date, and roll back if you recently updated them. Run sfc /scannow and DISM /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth in Command Prompt to check for system file corruption. If it happens when running specific apps or IIS/.NET processes, check those logs for crashes or conflicts. Also, make sure Windows is fully updated. If it keeps happening, a clean boot can help identify if a third-party app is triggering it. Rarely, faulty RAM or GPU hardware can cause it, but software fixes cover 90% of cases.
