Aside from the common computer errors, computers also can


have different Operating System (OS) errors. OS errors can be
classified into various categories, such as:

1. System errors – These are moderately dangerous types of errors among those that can pop
up on your PC. System errors are caused by malfunctioning hardware components, corrupted
operating system modules, etc.

2. Runtime errors – Runtime errors are caused by corrupted or malfunctioning system files
or software executables. Most runtime errors cause the application that caused it to shut down.
However, more serious runtime errors may cause the system to become unstable or
unresponsive, leaving you with no choice but to reach for the Reset button.
3. Stop errors – Stop errors are caused by corrupted hardware, especially malfunctioning
RAM modules and bad sectors on hard disks. Stop errors can be difficult to resolve at times. \

4. Device Manager Errors – These are usually caused by corrupted driver files or
malfunctioning hardware components. In case of the former cause, the problem is usually solved
simply by reinstalling or updating the drivers. However, the latter cause can often be solved only
by replacing hardware components.

5. POST code errors – POST code errors are caused by malfunctioning hardware
components, and are characterized by short beep sounds from the tiny internal speaker of your
motherboard. POST code errors occur when you press the power button to turn on your PC..

6. Application errors – These can be caused at any point of time. As the name suggests,
these are caused by applications while those are running. These are usually caused by glitches in
the program code itself. These are usually resolved by updating the program to its latest version.

7. Browser Status Codes – These are caused by problems faced by browsers when trying to
access a website. These can be caused by misplaced web pages in the server of the website itself,
or due to connection problems. For 153 instance, a 404 error would indicate that the browser is
trying to access a webpage that does not exist in the specified location
