# BSOD Analyzer
## What This Skill Covers
This skill is specifically for Windows blue screen / system crash diagnosis. It is NOT a general-purpose software debug skill.
**Before starting, load these files from the same directory as this skill:**
- `BugcheckKB.json` -- BugCheck code meanings, common causes, what to check
- `KnownBadDrivers.json` -- Driver version ranges with known issues
These are NOT optional. In the final report, state which BugCheckKB entries matched
and which KnownBadDrivers entries were checked and found not to match.
**Key differences from software bug diagnosis:**
1. **Crash artifacts ARE reproduction.** BSODs cannot and should not be intentionally triggered.
Accept the following as proof a crash occurred: BugCheck event (ID 1001), minidump/MEMORY.DMP,
Kernel-Power event (ID 41), abnormal shutdown event (ID 6008), Reliability Monitor entries.
2. **"Regression test" = observation window.** There is no test suite for kernel drivers.
After a fix, the verification is time-based: observe 24-72 hours without recurrence.
For stress verification: memory diagnostic (mdsched), disk stress, GPU stress.
3. **"Reproduce before fixing" does not apply.** Never try to trigger a BSOD on purpose.
The dump file IS the reproduction. Analyze it, form a hypothesis, make one change, observe.
4. **Permission failures are expected.** Minidump files require admin to read.
When blocked, CONTINUE with what you can access (event logs, Reliability Monitor,
