What could be causing my blue screen?

It's possible the tech took an image of the disk, reformatted it, and put the image back. So it could still be in the logs (Control Panel -> Administrative Tools -> Computer Management -> Event Viewer -> System)

But in either case, since it's still blue screening after the tech worked on it, if the system CAN log the problem there will be new log entries for it.

If you do paw through those logs, ignore all the "information" entries and just focus on the exact time the problem occurred. The logs are huge but if something is happening right before every blue screen, that's what to focus in on.
