Is my tablet done?
Bought my Intuos in 2021. I have had zero issues with it.
Last week, I received a notification that I needed to update my driver so I did.
Went from 6.4.0.8 to 6.4.6.1.
After the required reboot, my computer BSOD.
I was unable to start my computer ever again and had to do a clean install of windows.
After windows was installed, I tried to install the driver again.
Same result. BSOD and had to re-install windows.
The computer manufacturer issued an RMA for my M.2 drive. But when I installed my Wacom into another computer (installed driver 6.4.0.8, just to be sure), I BSOD again having to re-install windows again on this computer also.
So... Is it my tablet?

Hi Sergio Sanchez,
Your Intuos is basically the same as a mouse as far as Windows is concerned. I doubt the tablet would cause a BSoD.
I also don't see a scenario in which the Wacom Driver can cause a BSoD issue on it's own.
Without much deeper details, it's hard to tell but you might want to check the crash reports with Microsoft.

If your tablet only started being unusable after installing the recent drivers, then all you need to do is to go back to an older driver, like I did. Although mine was for a completely different problem and not as serious as yours. By clicking here and then choosing "Older Versions", you can either download the more stable version that I use (6.4.5-5) or simply even go back to the original one you used (6.4.0.8).

Thank you all.
Turns out my MOBO is the one that was dying. After I posted this, I started getting errors in other applications and then finally my computer just refused to start up.
I'll post back when my computer is back up0
