A QR code created from the actual fault text would be super helpful.

You have to disable auto reboot on bsod
This should be the default option when the blue screen happened, giving users chance to scan the QR and find out about the causes before they can try restarting their PC
Most users don't want to immediately troubleshoot every error, they want to get back to work. The ones that do know how to find it in event viewer or the crash dumps or disable auto reboot on bsod.
