The Problem
I had 3 BSODs in 8 days on my Windows 11 laptop. Every tool — BlueScreenView, WhoCrashed, even WinDbg — could tell me WHAT crashed, but not WHY, and certainly not HOW to fix it.
What I Built
A Claude Code / Codex skill that runs a complete BSOD diagnosis pipeline in 7 stages. It doesn't just read the dump — it audits the entire system, finds root causes, generates a cleanup plan, and verifies after reboot.
How It's Different From Existing Tools
Every existing BSOD tool stops at "here's the driver in the crash bucket." None of them:
- Decode pool tags to find third-party memory corruption
- Detect ghost drivers (loaded in kernel, gone from disk)
- Scan 18 system locations for remnants in parallel
- Cross-reference against a knowledge base of 62 BugCheck codes
- Generate a cleanup plan with rollback instructions
- Re-verify after reboot
What It Found On My Machine
64+ driver remnants from software I uninstalled months ago. A VPN driver corrupting kernel pool on sleep/wake. And it correctly identified Ntfs.sys as the VICTIM of a third-party pool corruption, not the culprit.
