When Windows detects hardware or software problem, Windows generate error code which identifies what is happening on your computer, notebook, tablet or smartphone. One of these errors is named Blue Screen Of Death (BSOD). End users do not like BSOD because BSOD is stopping our daily work. Every BSOD includes error name and an error code which help us to identify the possible issue. One of the BSOD which will be the topic of this article is PROCESS1_INITIALIZATION_FAILED, error code 0x0000006B. What Microsoft said about error code 0x0000006B? Microsoft said: “This issue occurs because of the Bootcat.cache file is corrupted or because of the size of the Bootcat.cache file is changed since the last successful start.” We can confirm this problem with Bootcat.cache, and add another reasons including corrupted files, bad hardware, bad or incorrect cables and others. BSOD 0x0000006B occurs on operating system from Windows 2000 to Windows 10, and Windows Server 2008, too.

This is error code:

STOP: 0x0000006B (Parameter1, Parameter2, Parameter3, Parameter4)

PROCESS1_INITIALIZATION_FAILED

NOTE: The four parameters in the Stop error message may vary, depending on the configuration of the computer.

This error occurs on client and server machines, and on smartphones, too. In 16 methods we will show you how to solve issues on client and server machines, and the last one method will show you how to solve issues on your Windows Phone smartphone.

Method 9: Remove malware

You should be careful when you are browsing the Internet. There are a lot of malware which will try to attack your computer, destroy your operating system, application or your data. BSOD occurs because malware infects your computer and make some damage. The first step you should do is scan your hard disk with Antivirus. If you are home users, you can download freeware antivirus including Avira, Avast, AVG, and others. In case you are using Windows 8 and Window 10, you can use Windows Defender, which is integrated into your operating system. After you remove all malware, you need to restart your Windows. If malware infected some files and your antivirus can not remove malware from file, files will be moved to quarantine or delete from your hard disk. If malware infects Bootcat.cache or ntdll.dll, you should remove that files and copy the same files from another computer. How you will do it? Please read first four methods. To be more secure, we are recommending you to update your operating system, applications and drivers.

Method 10: Restore your operating system from backup

A lot of users are ignoring doing a backup and restore. One of the most important steps in business, and in your home environment is to implement backup and restore strategies. There are few backup tasks you can do including creating a system image, turning on system restore and backup of your data.

Microsoft said: “If you have an uninterruptible power supply (UPS) connected to your destination computer, disconnect the serial cable before installing the Service Pack. Setup automatically attempts to detect devices that are connected to serial ports, and UPS equipment can cause issues with the detection process. You can leave your computer connected to a UPS for power as long as the UPS itself is plugged in. However, you should make sure that you have enough power for the entire installation, which can take a long time.”

Based on that we are recommending you to disconnect UPS device from your server machine or client machines, install SP1 (method 5) and eliminate BSOD issue. Few users solved issue on their server by using this method.

Method 13: Change CD or DVD

Sometimes, you can not install an operating system from CD or DVD, because you are using scratched CD or DVD. We are recommending you to burn another CD or DVD, or to burn operating system to USB flash drive. If this did not solve the problem, next step is to change cables and CD or DVD disk. If you are using ATA drive (old computers) you should buy ATA CD or DVD drive, and if you are using SATA drive, you should buy SATA CD or DVD drive. Please note that you can not install ATA CD or DVD drive to SATA port, and vice versa.

Method 14: CHKDSK /R

Method 15. Change HDD or SSD

When there is no problem with software, next step will be changing hardware components. HDDs are SSDs are storing our operating systems, drivers, application, and data. When software troubleshooting is not giving a good result, next step should be changing hardware components. You will need to change your HDD or SSD. Be careful when purchasing HDD. There are two different types of HDDs, ATA and SATA. You can not install SATA HDD to ATA port, and vice versa. Also, there are different SATA standards, including SATA I, SATA II, SATA III and SATA 3.1. Different standards provide different transfer rates. If you are using motherboard which supports only SATA I, you do not need to buy HDD SATA III, because HDD SATA III will work as SATA I HDD, because of port limitation. All SSDs are using SATA connectors. Some of HDD’s and SSD’s manufacturer are WD, Seagate, Samsung, Kingston, Adata, and others.

Method 16: Change RAM module

Sometimes because of faulty RAM, Windows’s or application’s instructions can not be stored in RAM address pool, and because of that, you will see BSOD on your monitor. Few users solved their problem by changing RAM module. How will you do it? If you are using more RAM modules, you should try to unplug one by one and test is there a problem with RAM module. Also, if you are planning to purchase another RAM module, you should check which generation of RAM memory is using your motherboard. As always, we are recommending you to check the technical documentation of your motherboard and based on that you can purchase proper RAM module for your computer or notebook. We will show you how to check which RAM module is using notebook HP 2000-2b09WM.

1. Open Internet browser (Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox, Edge or other)
2. Open HP’s website on this LINK. We will open HP Support site because we are using HP notebook
