How to Use Driver Verifier to Locate Faulty Device Driver(s) in Windows. Keep in mind, that you may not run the Driver Verifier Manager for a very long time because your computer will crash often. The Driver Verifier is a built-in tool, in Windows 7, 8 and 10 OS, that can help you to locate which driver makes your computer to crash with a blue screen of death (BSOD), by stressing the installed drivers on the background.

In this tutorial, I 'll show you how to find which driver on your system causes your computer to crash with a Blue Screen, by using the Driver Verifier Manager.

That way we can look for any common factors that might lead us towards another possible cause (and maybe even a fix).When Windows crashes with a blue screen, this means that either one of your computer's components (HDD, RAM, VGA) is defective, or an installed program or a device driver is incompatible or corrupted. If you've tried everything in that article, and are running the latest Tools, and you wish to post here to indicate that your problem is still not resolved, please include in your post: your video card model, your host video driver version, the full version number of VMware Workstation/Player you're using, your host OS version, the guest OS name/version, and a description of what you are running inside the guest OS leading up to the crash. The only other VMware-specific thing I'd add to the list would be to check that you are running the latest VMware Tools inside the guest. It has a great list of things to check or try. If you are encountering this problem, whether with an Nvidia or ATI card (or something else), please read through that article. This "sticky thread" on the Nvidia forums seems to have the best available information on the issue (a "TDR error") and its possible causes.
