When you're seeking help with a BSOD

Many people panic when they get a BOSD, partly this is because they happen unexpectedly and because they usually happen without warning, but also because many believe they mean you have a hardware problem. The good news is that in the majority of cases a BSOD is a software problem and almost always it's a device driver problem. The bad news is that a BSOD is not normal and should never be ignored but should be investigated and corrected.
