Since Windows 7, which was I think almost 20 years ago, I've seen a single BSOD.

I've seen more on MacOs/OSX in the same time frame.

I’ve seen them from AMD and Nvidia drivers.

Antivirus on my work Windows laptop has caused countless BSODs. VPN clients are often junk.

I had a KVM that could occasionally trigger one.

Windows itself seems to be pretty BSOD free. It is almost always something installed after or hardware.

I still see BSODs on random public displays all over the world while traveling.

There's got to be a subreddit for that I'm sure

Sure they might be using older unpatched Windows but it only reinforces its reputation of being crap and perpetuates the meme.

the "error'd" series on thedailywtf.com

independent blogs can still exist! Not everything must be a subreddit!

Eh, take a pic of the BSOD and see what the error is based on. Having worked support for a long time you'll commonly find those things are bad ram or overheating hardware.

Quite often you'll see non-windows displays like that crashed too.

Try switching from IDE compatibility mode to AHCI or RAID.
