A GPF is immediately identifiable by a blue screen with white text, and the text may contain information that
identifies the problem.
Action:

Remove any newly installed software or hardware to verify that they are not the cause.

Boot the server in Safe Mode or Last Known Good Configuration.

If neither of these actions resolve the problem, contact an authorized service provider. For more information

about debugging tools or specific GPF messages, refer to the Microsoft website

Operating system updates

Use care when applying operating system updates (Service Packs, hotfixes, and patches). Before updating
the operating system, read the release notes for each update. If you do not require specific fixes from the

update, it is recommended that you do not apply the updates. Some updates overwrite files specific to HP.
If you decide to apply an operating system update:

1.

Perform a full system backup.

2.

Apply the operating system update, using the instructions provided.

3.

Install the current drivers.

If you apply the update and have problems, locate files to correct the problems on the HP website

(

http://www.hp.com/support

).

Restoring to a backed-up version

If you recently upgraded the operating system or software and cannot resolve the problem, you can try

restoring a previously saved version of the system. Before restoring the backup, make a backup of the current
system. If restoring the previous system does not correct the problem, you can restore the current set to be sure

you do not lose additional functionality.
Refer to the documentation provided with the backup software.
