It's Critical to Resolve Blue Screen of Death Errors

In the majority of cases, you will encounter RTCore32.sys BSOD errors after you've installed new hardware, software (MSI Afterburner), or performed a failed Windows Update. In other cases, software corruption caused by a malware infection can lead to RTCore32.sys Blue Screen of Death errors. Therefore, it's critical to make sure your anti-virus is kept up-to-date and scanning regularly.

GEEK TIP : As a rule of thumb, it's always a good idea to create a Windows "Snapshot" backup / System Restore Point before making any hardware or software changes to your computer. That way, it's very easy to restore your system in the unfortunate event you encounter a RTCore32.sys Blue Screen of Death error after recent changes.

If you're encountering one of the error messages above, follow these troubleshooting steps to resolve your RTCore32.sys issue. These troubleshooting steps are listed in the recommended order of execution.

Step 1: Restore your PC back to the latest restore point, "snapshot", or backup image before error occurred.

Hit the Windows Start button
When you see the search box, type "System Restore" and press "ENTER".
In the search results, find and click System Restore.
Please enter the administrator password (if applicable / prompted).
Follow the steps in the System Restore Wizard to choose a relevant restore point.
Restore your computer to that backup image.

If the Step 1 fails to resolve the RTCore32.sys error, please proceed to the Step 2 below.

Step 2: If recently installed MSI Afterburner (or related software), uninstall then try reinstalling MSI Afterburner software.

Step 3: Perform a Windows Update.

When the first two steps haven't solved your issue, it might be a good idea to run Windows Update. Many RTCore32.sys error messages that are encountered can be contributed to an outdated Windows Operating System. To run Windows Update, please follow these easy steps:

Hit the Windows Start button

If Those Steps Fail: Download and Replace Your RTCore32.sys File (Caution: Advanced)

If none of the previous three troubleshooting steps have resolved your issue, you can try a more aggressive approach (Note: Not recommended for amateur PC users) by downloading and replacing your appropriate RTCore32.sys file version. We maintain a comprehensive database of 100% malware-free RTCore32.sys files for every applicable version of MSI Afterburner. Please follow the steps below to download and properly replace you file:

Download RTCore32.sys Files (Malware-Tested 100% Clean)

CAUTION : We strongly advise against downloading and copying RTCore32.sys to your appropriate Windows system directory. Micro-Star International typically does not release MSI Afterburner SYS files for download because they are bundled together inside of a software installer. The installer's task is to ensure that all correct verifications have been made before installing and placing RTCore32.sys and all other SYS files for MSI Afterburner. An incorrectly installed SYS file may create system instability and could cause your program or operating system to stop functioning altogether. Proceed with caution.
