So, my my dad transferred Audacity through a USB onto my computer. After this I started randomly getting the "Blue screen of death". I did a system restore, and it's still popping up. I just recently deleted Audacity, no BSOD since then, but it's only been 20 mins. Also my computer is fully updated. If this occurs again, would doing a full system restore fix the issue?
Yeah a full restore could do the trick. A restore only reverts the system settings and the registry back to the date, all your data will not be touched in the restore.
As audacity is a freeware/shareware it was perhaps taken from a bad site.
Audacity is a great freeware and should ONLY be downloaded from it official site @ sourceforge.net and nowhere else.
This is the case with most freeware/shareware as the sourcecode often is open folks can rewrite them to their own purpose. (can contain malware in rare cases.)
Theres a v1.3 Beta version Beta versions can be unstable, if this was your version you migth want to do the v1.2 instead witch is a stable.
You could download Microsoft's debugging tools and analyze the .dmp file with !analyze -v, but then it could be one of those random things which mean nothing.
