Hi! These are my thoughts on BSOD. There are many things that cause BSOD's.
Windows updates.( Make sure you have the latest Windows updates)
Update your drivers( Especially your graphics driver)
Hardware failures(Ram is a major cause for BSOD)
Overheating(Over heating is also a major cause of BSOD)
Throttling (????)
Disk errors(chkdsk)
Virus or malware
A buggy AV or security programs
Memory corruption(Memtest86+
Power failures
Make sure you have all the windows updates. Check with your manufacture to see if you have the latest graphics driver for your PC. Check for over heating with a program like Speccy or Speedfan. I don't know about Throttling. Check for disk errors. You can find free programs that will check your HDD. All HDD manufactures have free testing programs. You can also run a chkdsk to see if you have bad sectors. Check your memory with Memtest86+. You can also type memory diagnostics in your search Orb to test your memory. Memtest86+ is a better test. Test you power supply and make sure it has the proper voltage out puts. You can Google how to test your power supply. Make sure your PC is not infected with malware. I'm sure I have left some important things out. Please feel free to add your suggestions
I like a program called Who Crashed to help with BSOD.
I'll try to post some links that will help you with BSOD. If you have links, please add yours. I would also recommend running a sfc /scannow for any file corruption!
