my dads computer is always crashing and giving him the blue screen of death, wen windows relaods it tells him it is caused by a device driver, so i was wondering is there a program that he can download that will tell him if he has any driver conflicts or if anything needs to be updated?

What version of Windows do you have? Does the BSOD say anything about the driver? Did you install some piece of hardware or update drivers recently? It could just be a wrong or incompatible driver. Right-click on My Computer and click on manage, then click on Device Manager and see if there are any problems there like yellow exclamation icons.

The DriverGuideToolkit (http://www.driverguidetoolkit.com/) may help, but I'm not sure. I've never used it. But when all else fails Google (http://www.google.com) is thy friend.

I know this was just asked and answered.

You are sure there are no errors or yellow exclamation marks in the device manager?
