Hai,

I bought my PC in May,2013 but there has been no BSOD until this morning.Why did my PC show BSOD? What are the causes of a BSOD?I usually install the latest drivers.Please see my config in my Siggy.When the next BSOD occurs I shall take screenshot and post it here.

BSOD occurs for a lot of reasons and its hard to point out any single one.it could because of your OS or divers or any applications you have installed or it could be because of failure of any hardware like RAM or RAM slot or unstable processor clocks or may be PSU.actually anything can cause BSOD.
As your computer is a new one i would suspect it could be because of your OS or any application running.so i would suggest you to uninstall sotware which you have installed very recently and see if you still get BSODs.

I recently freshly installed Windows 7 and added all the drivers and some necessary software only.

try reinstalling all the softwares one by one and see if you face any BSOD.or if you can provide BSOD log somebody may analyse it.

if it is not frequent, then i think no need to worry at all.
