How to determine what caused a blue screen

The helpful Microsoft message says that the most likely cause of the
blue screen is a device driver.
Does anyone know how to determine if a driver is causing it, a piece of
hardware, or whatever?!
It's very frustrating because it happens about once or twice a week.

You need supply the STOP code (0x000...) or the title of the error
(LOOKS_LIKE_THIS).

Unfortunately this is not easy. The blue screen info is intended
for technical personnel such as tech. support.
If you suspect a recently added device or software, call their support
and they will analyse the blue screen info for you.
For the rest of us, Windows can send this info
to Microsoft, where they classify it and may suggest a solution
if this is a common issue .... but our problems mostly are too unique
