I changed my graphics card to another model. After restarting, the screen briefly turned grey a few seconds, which seemed normal but felt unusual given the card's age. Since my PC is brand new, I wasn't sure about the compatibility. The blue screen later prompted troubleshooting steps, and after a few restarts into BIOS, everything worked properly again. It looks like the driver installation might have been an issue. Your system appears to be in good condition now.

If it becomes a recurring issue, check the error code to see if there’s a fix available. Sometimes it gets too hot and shows a blue screen, but I can’t resolve it because it doesn’t seem worth the effort.

When changing cards, always use ddu. If this keeps happening, I should investigate the reason.

Are you referring to all drivers or only those I don't use?

Removed all display drivers and kept only essential ones. The BSOD likely resulted from a driver conflict.
