One fine day you turn on your computer. It looks all fine while booting up and you get to the desktop in no time. All of a sudden, you get the infamous Blue Screen of Death. This is basically a blue colored screen which gives out some information about the error code as well as the error message. There are several different kinds of errors that culminate in the Blue Screen of Death. Today we’re be looking at the ntkrnlmp.exe error.
