umsporkboy ' s not wrong , but I can add some more context that might make his comment more helpful . It sometimes happen that we can correlate a specific piece of software with a bluescreen , so we assume that software is causing the problem . It is more accurate to say that that particular piece of software found the problem that was already there . None of the other software you use needs the broken bit , so you only see the BSOD when using the bad software . Abstaining from using the software that ' s exercising the broken driverhardware can still be a viable workaround for dealing with the BSOD . <| sep |> sorry , I misread what you wrote . <| sep |> What a welcome ! I just love the colors here , it looks fantastic .
