I suggest that you boot Windows in Safe Mode and then carry out our suggestions, if possible.

1] Update, Rollback or Disable Drivers

This error is usually caused by the following files – iusb3hub.sys, ntkrnlpa exe or vhdmp.sys, ntoskrnl.exe, ntfs.sys, dxgkrnl.sys, tcpip.sys, atikmdag.sys, win32k.sys. So if you can identify the driver file causing this Stop Error, updating it or rolling back may help. Sometimes, the problematic driver is mentioned in the Blue Screen.

So, you can try to Update or Rollback the conflicting driver.

• Update your drivers via Optional Updates and see if it helps.
• If you recently updated a driver, maybe you could roll back the driver.

In particular, you can also try to update or uninstall/reinstall your Graphics Driver and see if it helps.

2] Run Memory Diagnostics

Run the Memory Check on your computer. Start by hitting the WINKEY + R button combination to launch the Run utility. Then type in, mdsched.exe and then hit Enter. It will launch the Windows Memory Diagnostic Tool and will give out two options-

1. Restart now and check for problems (Recommended)
2. Check for problems the next time I start my computer

Now, according to the option selected by you, the computer will restart and check for memory-based problems. If you get any issues there, it will fix it automatically else if no issues are detected, this is probably not the cause of the issue.

3] Update BIOS

Misconfigured or incompatible BIOS firmware might also be a cause resulting in the occurrence of this error. So, to fix it, you need to update the BIOS and see if that helps. Now, this is not something all can do – so you may need to take the help of an expert.

4] Disable BIOS Memory Options

To do this, you will have to enter your system’s BIOS, open the Advanced page, and you will see the options there. While in the BIOS, you will have to use the Arrow and the Enter keys to select your choices.

If you can’t find it, look for specific instructions from your OEM or in case you have a custom-built computer, look out for instructions from the maker of your motherboard.

5] Run Blue Screen Troubleshooter
