Hello, guys.  
I’ve been experiencing the well-known “BLUE SCREEN” on numerous occasions in recent weeks. Windows shuts off the entire PC. I’m not sure if this was caused by the latest Corona version (I get the blue screen when working in Corona) or by some silly Windows actualization. Has anyone else have this problem in the previous several weeks?

Howdy! Getting a blue screen indicates something is wrong with your system configuration - could be overheating, wrong drivers, a dying SSD or RAM and all sorts of not so wonderful things. Corona can’t quite cause that for you.

I would recommend first looking at the health of your SSDs and memory and then maybe check the CPU temperatures as you are rendering. That would probably be the first thing I’d do myself.

I’d try to find out more with the Event Viewer and then check Google for more information. The even viewer logs essentially everything.

I’m on a Mac, but when using the the Neural Filters in Photoshop, Photo Restoration to be specific, 40% of the time it will crash by instantly shutting down my iMac Pro. I mean like I pulled the plug out of the wall. Only has happened using that filter, so I’m convinced it’s software related.

Only putting that out there because if can indeed be software that can cause a system to shut down.

Blue screen of death (“blue screen” or BSOD) is specifically an error caused by driver or hardware issues. You can read about it here: [Blue screen of death - Wikipedia](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blue_screen_of_death)  
We also have an article about it: [https://support.chaos.com/hc/en-us/articles/4528230185233-I-am-getting-BSODs-Blue-Screens-Of-Death](https://support.chaos.com/hc/en-us/articles/4528230185233-I-am-getting-BSODs-Blue-Screens-Of-Death)
