It causes the computer to shutdown automatically, which results in the loss of unsaved data.
The appearance of this BSOD error may also be due to a corrupted or outdated driver, or the installation of a driver that is incompatible with the system. It may also be due to the installation of an untested or unsigned video driver, or a faulty application.
