A user's workstation displays a blue screen error shortly after updating a device driver. Given this scenario, what is the most likely cause of the BSOD?
A blue screen of death (BSOD) following a device driver update typically indicates that the new driver may be incompatible, faulty, or incorrectly installed, causing system conflicts that the OS cannot resolve without crashing. Other mentioned factors are possible causes of a BSOD but are less likely given the correlation with the recent driver update. It is essential to verify the compatibility and integrity of the driver being installed to prevent BSODs.
