A Vsmraid.sys is a file developed by Microsoft for the Windows Operating System. "SYS" files are critical system files and third-party device drivers. These files are responsible for connecting internal PC hardware or attached hardware to the third-party software programs such as web browsers. A "Vsmraid.sys" error is usually the result of a corrupt device driver file or some faulty hardware.
A corruption or damage to the SYS files can generate critical system errors and hamper the functionality of Windows. Sometimes, the errors could even result to a blue screen of death ("BSOD"). Also known as the STOP error, the BSOD is displayed on the screen when a fatal system error occurs and the OS has to stop completely.
An error in the SYS files occurs during computer start-up, program start-up, or when performing a specific task in your program. Vsmraid.sys error messages are common in Windows 8, 7, Vista, XP, ME, and 2000.
The errors often appear after you install new software or hardware. Sometimes, they would occur when the newly installed software program is running or when a driver is being loaded. Whenever a STOP error occurs, it's important to note where and when it occurred so that you would be able to troubleshoot the problem easier and more efficiently.
What are the causes of Vsmraid.sys Errors?
They can be caused by device drivers that are corrupted, outdated, or improperly configured.
Corruption or malware infection that damages the system file or other related Windows 7 program files could also be the cause.
Damaged hard disks could also result to a BSOD.
A corrupted RAM could result to STOP errors as well
There could be hardware issues that occur after the installation of new hardware related to the system file.
System files that are removed or damaged after the installation of software programs or drivers related to Windows 7 could also be the culprit.
How to Fix an SYS Error
Some issues can be resolved simply by downloading or re-installing an SYS file. It is better to get these files directly from Microsoft instead of the usual web downloads, if they're available.
Listed below are some guidelines that can help you troubleshooting when errors in the SYS files arise.
Most BSOD errors are the result of corrupted or outdated device drivers so it's best if you can try updating your computer's device drivers. It's hard to find device drivers that are compatible with vsmraid.sys but there are some tools online that help make the process faster and easier. You can also download drivers but you have to carefully assess the ones that can be trusted.
Issues related to the Windows registry may also result to system errors. Keep the registry optimized and repair the entries because they might be corrupted with malware. The malware infection will result to a STOP error putting your pc at risk. Try a free registry cleaner online that can help repair the cause of the problem.
Unless you are a computer technician, don't even attempt manually configuring the Windows registry. A single punctuation that is incorrectly placed when editing can stop the computer from booting completely. Consider leaving your PC to the hands of the experts to avoid further and irreparable damage.
Apply Windows System Restore to your PC because it allows your computer's system files and programs go back to its fine condition. This will help you save time.
Uninstall software if the BSOD error came from a specific program, or do a clean install of the program is necessary.
Utilize the System File Checker as it scans and repairs corruptions in the Windows system files. It will automatically replace the damaged files when it finds a problem with the system files.
Update your Windows system files regularly because there are times when the cause of the BSOD errors is simply an outdated Windows. Install all the service packs and other patches that Microsoft provides.
Some BSOD errors are the result of hard drive corruption especially if your computer is constantly in use, always being shut down improperly, and other issues. Vsmraid.sys-related BSODs can be identified if you check a hard drive corruption. Microsoft's latest tool called "Check Disk" scans and repairs hard disk corruptions. Run the Check Disk utility if the previous troubleshooting methods didn't work.
Perform a Clean Installation of Windows.
Those are just some of the steps you can try to fix vsmraid.sys errors. You can also use flashing tools to automatically get updates for several apps and drivers.
About The Author: Flashing tools and registry optimizers could work wonders for your PC, but you have to be careful when installing a free registry cleaner. Only use the ones that are from trusted websites such as http://www.maxutilities.net/en-us/index.html.
