Windows 10 kernel error

[Fanatical Meat]

My aging PC is having trouble starting up, frequent no video feed. I was thinking its due to its age but today I had a reboot with "Windows Kernel Error" I **think** it was security....something, I missed the print.
The PC has been starting up a bit slower for the last few weeks.

Can anyone recommend a good online virus scan program?

If you face this issue, here are a few things you may want to try. See which applies to your system and proceed with those suggestions.

1] First, install all the latest available Windows Updates and scan your computer with you antivirus software. You may want to also run System File Checker to replace corrupted system files, if any. You may want to also physically ensure that your RAM, Hard Disk, and other hardware components and accessories are connected properly.

2] Boot in Safe Mode or Clean Boot State and see if the problem disappears. If the problem does not occur then it you will have to identify the offending program or driver and uninstall it.

3] Run the Driver Verifier Manager to check for corrupt drivers. If need be uninstall and reinstall or update the drivers.
