I'm sorry to hear that you're experiencing issues with your Vive after storing it away for a few years. Based on your computer specs, it looks like your system meets the minimum requirements for running the Vive. The issue with the BSOD (Blue Screen of Death) could be caused by a number of factors such as outdated drivers or a hardware problem. One thing to try is to make sure that all of your drivers are up to date, including your graphics card driver. You can also try uninstalling and reinstalling SteamVR and the Vive software to see if that resolves the issue. Additionally, you can try using the Vive with a different USB port, as you've mentioned trying both 2.0 and 3.0 ports. It's also worth trying to run the Vive on a different computer or with a different USB cable to rule out any hardware issues. If the problem persists, it might be worth reaching out to the Vive support team or Thames for further assistance.
