It is almost impossible for software to cause a BSOD. BSODs occur at very low levels in the kernel. The "best" that software can generally cause is the application freezing or causing a "The application has stopped responding".
Let us know what you find but I would run SFC and see if it reports any issues:

And yes, Windows 10 does indeed BSOD with a frowny face. My latest laptop had some cooling issues (fixed now) so I was seeing BSODs about every 10 minutes : (
