BSOD has output that tells you what caused it, usually filename.dll . Looking at this can be useful, as it can be a driver, or part of the game. Read the message and write it down (just the file name, the hex crap isnt useful in general), the post it here or research it to see if its the game or something else. I mean the game can be the cause, but its important where it happened. BSOD is a critical (operating system, eg driver or windows itself) software failure. Red RSOD is a hardware critical failure.
