I don't see the answer choices — can you paste them?

If you can't, here are quick pointers:

- Common software problems caused by adding hardware:
- Missing or incompatible drivers (device not recognized)
- Driver conflicts or resource conflicts (IRQ/DMA), causing crashes or instability
- Blue Screen / kernel panic or application crashes after driver install
- OS or application incompatibilities introduced by the new driver/software

- Things that are NOT software issues (likely correct answers if listed):
- Physical damage to components (e.g., a scratched hard drive platter, broken connector)
- Power supply failure or a blown fuse from the new device
- A loose cable or improper seating of the device (this is a hardware/connection problem, not software)
- Environmental effects (overheating, vibration)

If you paste the specific choices I’ll pick the NOT-example for you.
