Remove All Peripherals<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Unplug everything except the keyboard and mouse.

Can I use System Restore to prevent Pink Screen?<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">That is an excellent question and to be honest there is not a yes\/no answer. Microsoft has never explained why PSOD or its more popular sibling BSODs happen.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Doing a System Restore will undo any software installs or updates that could have caused PSOD.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you are confident you can perform a System Restore, try and restore to the state it was in a month ago. Of course, there is no way to stop some updates e.g. antivirus software from running as soon as System Restore completes. But stop Windows Updates from running for a week and find out if your system is stable.<\/span><\/p>\n<h4><strong>2. Can I go on running the computer after a reboot?<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you are not worried about losing current work, PSOD cannot damage a CPU or motherboard. So yes you can keep on running the system.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">But having said that, each time a sudden shutdown happens something inside the system files go a little bit more awry and your chances of a successful reboot get lesser. Also, there is the matter of the hard drive breaking down if it happens enough times.<\/span><\/p>\n<h4><strong>3. How quickly does Stellar Data Recovery software work?<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p><strong>The speed of Stellar Data Recovery software depends on a number of factors, including:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Size of drive being scanned<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The type of data being recovered<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The condition of the drive<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The settings used in the scan<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In general, Stellar Data Recovery software can recover data from a small drive in a few minutes.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong>Also Read: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.stellarinfo.co.in\/blog\/complete-working-of-stellar-data-recovery-professional-software\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Complete Working of Stellar Data Recovery Professional Explained<\/a><br \/>\n<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Note:<\/strong> Due to errors such as <a href=\"https:\/\/www.stellarinfo.co.in\/blog\/fix-error-code-0xc000000f\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>Error Code 0xc000000f in Windows 10<\/strong><\/a>, you may risk losing your data.
