I've been troubleshooting some persistent BSOD (Blue Screen of Death) issues with a few of our developers' PCs. In the past, I've relied on tools like BlueScreenView and WinDBG to analyze minidumps and memory dump files, along with digging into the Event Viewer, but lately, I'm not having any luck pinpointing the issue. All the affected machines have GPUs, and while I've updated the GPU drivers to the latest versions, the BSODs keep happening. I'm considering starting fresh with new SSDs and reinstalling Windows 11 along with their development tools, but I'm hoping to find a more immediate solution. Any advice or diagnostic tools (free or paid) that could help would be greatly appreciated!

You might try using the Driver Verifier Manager (find it at C:WindowsSystem32verifiergui.exe). It helped me track down specific problematic drivers before. Some people caution against using it, but in my experience, it can be quite effective, especially if you're troubleshooting issues like these.
I actually just discovered Driver Verifier in my own research! I was about to run it on one of the affected PCs after I back it up. What’s the reason people generally warn against it?
