Fix all BSoD events and keep computer safe and clean:
Fortect will find the cause of BSoD and fix it. Here is how to do it with 3 easy steps:
TheRECURSIVE_NMIBSOD (Blue Screen of Death), with error code0x00000111, appears due to a non-maskable-interrupt (NMI) at a time when a previous NMI is in progress, according to Microsoft.
This is usually caused by faulty hardware, outdated or corrupt drivers, malware infection, conflicting third-party apps, corrupted system files, and misconfigured power settings.
Before you proceed to the solutions, restart the PC, install pending Windows updates, and disconnect any non-critical hardware. For most, this alone should fix theRECURSIVE_NMIblue screen error in Windows!
How do I fix the RECURSIVE_NMI BSoD?
1. Reinstall the corrupt drivers
A warning sign next to the device icon indicates the presence of a corrupt driver, and in such cases, you will have to reinstall the driver.
2. Update the drivers

Also, if Windows can’t find a better version, go to the manufacturer’s website, locate the newest release, and thenmanually install the driver.
3. Repair the corrupt system files
4. Turn off fast startup
5. Scan the PC for malware
If Windows Security is unable to detect any threats on your PC, I recommend using atop-rated antivirus solutionto run a more advanced scan in order to identify and eliminate malware and viruses!
6. Uninstall conflicting apps
Apps like third-party antiviruses, security software, optimization tools, and performance-boosting utilities can often trigger theRECURSIVE_NMIBSoD in Windows 11.
