Blue Screen of Death/Reinstall

Dang! :bummer: I was really hoping to avoid having to reinstall the programs. Drivers, etc. are no problem i can do that. But all the software will be a pain in the rear.

So what can i do to possibly fix the current install w/out redoing it from scratch? (I’ll try and get the error code that i get when blue screen pops up). But what usually causes memory dumps?
