Why do people get BSODs
There is something I never understood. How do people manage to get so many BSODs. I have PCs since years and by now I have more than half a dozen of them, but I never had a BSOD. Was I just lucky.

Only time I've ever had one was the brief moment before my last graphics card died on me. It bluescreened and then the screen had corruption all over it.
Aside from that one time I've never had another one.
They seem to mostly be caused due to bad hardware or crappy/incorrect drivers.
I know the answer, and it's very simple. :)
People just are not careful while they are working on pc's. They just click everywhere and install everything without reading what that harmful software want to do.
For me, that's the problem.
Personally, I have just 2,3 time's got BSOD and that was driver conflict after installing some new hardware. In last 4,5 years, while using Windows 7/10 I don't remember getting that stupid blue screen.
I've had a couple in the days of Windows Me. After installing XP and now Windows 7 I haven't seen any.
Inexperienced computer users maybe?
Bad configuration of hardware seems to be big cause as well.
I got a BSOD a couple of years ago.
I had over 75% RAM Used, my Hibernate file is set to 75% of RAM.
It got a BSOD trying to resume from Hibernate.
