What caused my blue screen?

[!TG]

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.

Hi

Could you please post the Stop Code from the BSOD?

It is not possible to help you with an error message of this type
unless you can provide us with the complete details of that error
message, including the STOP code, all 4 parameters associated with it,
and any file or module names mentioned in the message.

With that additional information it should be possible to at least
give you some constructive suggestions or perhaps even a complete fix
for it.

Good luck

The top 2 or 3 lines of this screen will contain information that can
help solve your problem. Carefully write down these lines and post the
exact text back here. Hopefully, one of us will be able to provide some
insight.

Additionally, you should check your Event Logs to see if they can
shed any light on the matter, To do so, Right-click My Computer >
Manage > Event Viewer > System and Application. Record the specifics
of any red-flagged error messages and post the exact text back here.
Again, hopefully, one of us will be able to provide some insight.
