Two years prior I got a Mad Catz M.O.U.S. 9. It was my first mouse with macro features, so I used every button with the software and created shortcuts to close tabs quickly. Occasionally I experience a blue screen after closing Firefox using the close-tab shortcut. At first I thought it was Firefox’s issue, but three months ago I moved to Chrome and the same problem still happens occasionally. Could this be related only to the software? If you know how to resolve it, let me know; otherwise I just want to confirm if it's a software problem or something else.

Software can trigger a blue screen?
Or is it more accurate to ask, "Can software cause blue screens?"
The rule for words ending in "ware" can be a bit unclear. Generally, it's best to treat them as plural unless context suggests otherwise. For example, you'd say 'a piece of software' or 'software applications.' Using 'AN software' isn't standard, and it's worth noting that 'software' doesn't start with a vowel sound in most cases. This guidance is mainly from English usage, though similar patterns exist in other languages.
search for the error code online. if a dump file is available at C:\Windows\Minidump, use tools like "who crashed it" to look up the issue.
