If you get the blue screen of death on windows, do you have to reinstall the operating system? Or is there a simpler way to fix it?

Sometimes it is hardware related so a reinstall will not solve the issue in those cases.

Most of the time, you do nothing. It happens to every system, sometimes. It's just a crash. You will 99% of the time just restart the computer and move on.

I am listening about beeps code errors, but what happen if the computer has not speaker installed on the case? should I have to buy an extra speaker or something else? because I was dealing with an issue on a computer and I just noticed that a red light was shining on the motherboard and after check the motherboard manual I noticed that the CPU is not working, maybe I would noticed that faster if the speaker would be installed but there is no speaker on the computer case.

Then you get nothing.

Typically a tiny speaker is somewhere on the motherboard.

@brianwinkelmann yeah, likely on there somewhere. They are completely tiny. Like the size of the tip of your pinky.

@scottalanmiller but that was the red light that indicates that the CPU is not working.

I suspect that there is a speaker there, too. Just no beep codes from that machine. Look up the specific motherboard to see if it has beep codes.
