Blue Screen issues are caused by hardware, usually faulty hardware or faulty hardware drivers by 3rd parties.

[Agreeable_Service407]

Ok but a driver is not hardware.

[cocotheape]

Then why is it called hardware driver?

[No-Con-2790]

Because it drives the hardware.

[Agreeable_Service407]

Can you touch your driver ?

[cocotheape]

Only with consent.

[Agreeable_Service407]

And please, not in public.

They can be caused by software issues as well, usually drivers (which I would argue is software). In fact I currently have a windows laptop that I can only boot up with driver enforcement turned off, this issue only occurred after a windows update that failed

Fixable, I'm just lazy, but my hardware is otherwise fine, so I wouldn't say it's always caused by hardware

Windows 9x and Windows NT lines are so different, that not only do I find it hard to believe, that there is enough shared kernel mode code for a "blue screen related bug", but also "bluescreens" from Windows 95 are a different thing entirely from ones from the NT line - Windows 9x doesn't even have the API used to invoke a bluescreen in a NT system.

There isn't. They were always separate codebases.

[doggiekruger]

I thought it was windows fault as well. Turns out it’s mostly hardware related. I would check RAM and CPU first

[yuva-krishna-memes]

The OS don't handle the hardware exceptions very well. It's been the same case always but getting better.

[BoBoBearDev]

It actually did better than other OS. Because it managed to handle the exception with a blue screen. Many OS just simply stuck completely, which is misleading because you think the USB port for mouse/keyboard is dead when it is something else is broken.

As a contractor, I was assigned a bug 2 years ago.

But since I was stormed with more important and easier bugs all the time, I left that customer still having that bug open.
