This can happen for several reasons, such as:
1. Hardware Issues
Faulty RAM: Bad memory modules can cause system crashes.
Overheating: If your laptop overheats, it may shut down unexpectedly.
Hard Drive/SSD Problems: Corrupt sectors or failing storage devices can trigger BSOD errors.
2. Driver Issues
Outdated or Corrupt Drivers: If a driver (especially graphics, network, or chipset) is outdated or corrupted, it can cause system crashes.
Incompatible Drivers: Installing a driver that isn’t compatible with your Windows version may lead to errors.
3. Software Conflicts
Recent Software Installations: If you recently installed a new application or update, it might be causing conflicts.
Malware or Virus Attacks: Some malware can corrupt system files, leading to crashes.
4. Windows Update Issues
Failed or Buggy Updates: Sometimes, a Windows update may be buggy or fail during installation, causing system instability.
5. Corrupt System Files
Damaged Windows Files: If system files are missing or damaged, Windows may crash unexpectedly.
