BSOD-a nightmare?

Blue Screen of Death-this is a nightmare for most of the windows users,it might look like an unsolvable error,here i listed out some of the reasons for BSOD,well this will help you a bit,i guess?

1.It will happen mostly because of memory problems,so always have an eye on "RAM".Having memory testing tools is always a good option.

2.Incompatible Drivers are good enough to make this,so verifying drivers is reasonable.

3.Check the "Third party" soft wares before installing,i experienced suspicious soft wares many times.

4."Bugs" may cause this,anyway ill give least priority to them.
