As we have all seen, the blue screen of death is common with drivers. Most common with video cards, but sometimes we just do not know.

Blue screen generally means there was an error that caused the machine to come to a stop. This is caused by the operating system itself or a driver that had an error it cannot recover from. The only solution is to restart the machine and troublshoot from what could have caused it.Its not easy to identify exaclty what caused it. This website will explain and hopefully identify what your blue screen of death means.

Also attached is a PDF file but its zipped. It explains basic Blue screens of Windows XP.

Hope you guys find this useful.
