I've always wondered who tf those weirdos are on the windows support forums. I genuinely wonder if the idea is that they're trying to farm points/answers so they can apply to work for MS support? Like it's just resume fodder for them?
You also forgot the part where at some point the advice they give always includes 'try reinstalling your drivers' as if it's a silver bullet that will magically solve any windows problem. ๐
I'm guessing that's it. Or maybe using their signature as commercials? ๐ค
But all of this is if you at all find a page where an actual person has asked a question. Most results on Google when searching an bsod error code is a number of pages spouting the same tired answers that doesn't actually work.
