Before my pc ran into bsod, i had it using high performance mode. Could that have attributed to bsod? Im thinking when i do clean reinstall very soon, i will choose balanced to be on safe side. FYI -My pc is an asus x540 with 4gb ram and 500gb hdd.

PrimeDirective64 it highly unlike that high-performance mode crash your computer
I know a computer crash can be scary but once you follow the advice on the forum after windows is install it should not happen again

Like Compton said, the performance mode is extremely unlikely to be the cause of the bsod. Just to let everyone know, I also recently came across the bsod and this was immediately after I installed Rollback Rx and restarted the PC
It's been years since I last got the blue screen of death; what's even worse was that when I did what looked like a restore to the initial snapshot from the sub-console, it actually deleted all my data from the C drive

Love the many hints i get from this forum. I will no doubt annouce my triumphant and successful return back on pc once i regain use of it before the end of month. But after reinstall, i will be using balanced mode. And as suggested, do backup using macrium free, thus need to buy pack of dvd rw disks. I was kind of careless before bsod, i was running multiple graphics programs, 15 in all. . bsod was ultamite wakeup call. I have watched and saved many vids on bsod and how to prevent it from happening again. As well as many articles of interest
A shoutout to britec -from his most recent video!

I don't know what you are planning to do with DVD RW discs. but would not use them it can easily be damage
if you are going use you them better not put any important data on them
