# Advanced troubleshooting for Windows start-up issues
|
|
|
|
In these topics, you will learn how to troubleshoot common problems that are related to Windows startup.
|
|
|
|
## How it works
|
|
|
|
When Microsoft Windows experiences a condition that compromises safe system operation, the system halts. These Windows startup problems are categorized in the following groups:
|
|
|
|
- Bug check: Also commonly known as a system crash, a kernel error, or a Stop error.
|
|
|
|
- No boot: The system may not produce a bug check but is unable to start up into Windows.
|
|
|
|
- Freeze: Also known as "system hang".
|
|
|
|
## Best practices
|
|
|
|
To understand the underlying cause of Windows startup problems, it's important that the system be configured correctly. Here are some best practices for configuration:
