Outdated or incompatible drivers can cause many issues. For example, if your drivers don’t work, you won’t be able to use certain hardware, and in worst case scenario, you’ll get a BSoD error such as BAD_SYSTEM_CONFIG_INFO.

Since many Blue Screen of Death errors are commonly caused by drivers, we strongly advise you to update your drivers as often as you can. In order to avoid all BSoD errors, be sure that all major components are up to date with latest drivers.

Downloading drivers is fairly simple, and all you need to do is to visit your hardware manufacturer’s website, locate your device and download the latest drivers for it.

After installing the latest drivers, BSoD errors should be resolved. Bear in mind that you’ll have to update as many drivers as you can in order to successfully fix this problem.
