Is there some way to figure out exactly why a driver makes a computer crash?

I have an HP Z230 workstation, standard out-of-the-box, running Windows 7 Enterprise. Tried to set it up with dual-monitors, and noticed it only had the basic vga graphics driver. Installed the new driver--I have done this with several of these same machines, using this same driver--but then Windows won't start.

I know it's the driver, and I know that I can probably fix this if I just reimage the machine, but is there some way to figure out what has gone wrong? I'm really just more curious at this point. Like I said, I've done this same procedure many times, and have never had any problems before this.
 
"Why" is the hard question. Usually because of some incompatibility or the driver itself is unstable overall or in certain software configuration conditions.
