msysgit does not install any drivers, so it cannot possibly be the
cause of any BSOD.

It's usually bad hardware or a bad driver. (VMWare is virtual
hardware, so buggy versions count as "bad hardware")
Either of the above can cause problems that appear and disappear based
on unrelated factors, which makes them hard to track down. But if it's
a BSOD, the root cause is not msysgit.
