 * Avoid Driver Problems that Cause Your PC to Crash **

Driver problems are sometimes impossible to recognise at first sight, since they usually produce cryptic Blue Screen error messages. If you have installed a new device and then get Blue Screen error messages, usually a driver is behind it. More often than not, it is the driver rather than the hardware device or Windows 7 that is at fault. The following checklist will help you track and trace the cause of your Blue Screen:


 * 1 First, try to remove the newly installed drivers or disable them, so they are not loaded (you can do this via the Device Manager). Then restart your computer to find out whether the problem reoccurs.
 * 2 If the error occurs after installing new hardware, remove the new device, to see if the error message is still displayed.
 * 3 Install an updated driver for the device (check your device manufacturer’s website for the latest drivers).
 * 4 Check in the manufacturer FAQs to see if there are any known problems with this device.
 * 5 Check the logs in Event Viewer. Here you find information that can help you determine the cause of the problem
