Have you ever seen this message pop up on your computer before? 0x0 0x0? If so, chances are, it was accompanied by another error message like File Not Found or Access Denied or even Invalid Drive. This can be particularly aggravating when you’re in the middle of working on an important document and you have no idea what to do next, especially if you don’t know what caused the error in the first place. Here are some common ways to fix that pesky 0x0 0x0 error!
1. Use Google Chrome
Many computer problems are browser-related. If you’re having trouble accessing your favorite site, try opening it in another browser and see if you have a connection issue. We tend to use Microsoft Edge on Windows 10 more than Google Chrome, so we found more instances of users reporting failed connections with Edge. Try opening your troublesome page in another browser like Chrome or Firefox and see if that fixes it for you. You can even download them from their official websites: Microsoft Edge, Mozilla Firefox.2. Clear your cookies and cache
In most cases, when you get a 0x0 0x0 error message, it’s because something went wrong with your computer’s Internet browser. First and foremost, make sure all your cookies and cache are cleared (unless you are intentionally trying to track something). If clearing them doesn’t work, try restarting your browser. If clearing cookies doesn’t work and restarting your browser doesn’t work either, it might be time for a browser cleanse.3. Completely shut down and restart your computer
It might sound silly, but a lot of times you can resolve an error message by restarting your computer. If you’re having issues with hardware, software, or a program, sometimes just rebooting your machine will take care of it. Unfortunately, not all problems are as simple as restarting a computer. But if you’re just trying to resolve an error message? Give it a shot.4. Check to see if other applications are using port 80
The next step is to check whether another application has taken over port 80. To do so, open your command prompt and enter IPCONFIG /ALL. If you see something like :80 HTTP or 80 HTTP in there then you may need to stop another program from using port 80.5. Check for malware
Malware can cause a variety of problems with your computer. Viruses, Trojans, and worms are all types of malware. Symptoms of malware infections can be as simple as pop-up ads or as serious as slow performance. The best way to combat these issues is by using anti-malware software, but if you suspect an infection, run a full scan with your antivirus program before taking any further action.6. Try switching browsers
A lot of times, people run into 0x0 0x0 errors when they’re using an outdated browser like Internet Explorer. Try clearing your cache and switching browsers if you’re stuck on a page with a file not found error. A lot of old sites use older plugins for Shockwave Flash and Adobe Flash Player, which aren’t compatible with new browsers or operating systems. Switching to Chrome or Firefox might be worth a shot if you haven’t already.7. Re-Install Graphic Driver
If your graphics card is not performing properly or you are getting a lot of BSODs, it might be because your graphic driver got corrupted or damaged in some way. In order to solve your problems, make sure you always have an updated driver for your hardware. Also, make sure you re-install any driver if it has become corrupt or failed to perform at its optimal levels. If you have updated drivers installed and still experience issues, try a re-installation of each device’s driver software.8. Disable conflicting Programs
If you’re a PC user, there’s a good chance you have multiple programs installed at once. When these programs aren’t properly disabled, they can cause system errors like 0x0 0x0. The fix for these types of errors is simple: Find out what conflicting programs are in your system, then disable them using the control panel on your PC.Summing Up
Windows will occasionally throw out an illegal operation during its normal processes. While not dangerous in any way, it can be very annoying when you see those errors. Fortunately, a lot of times these errors are easily solved by simply restarting your computer. However, if you still see them after a reboot or two, there are other things you can try to get rid of these errors for good.
