Method 3. Restore system to an earlier point: The problem can occur due to recently added hardware or driver. In order to fix the issue, you need to perform system restore.

Method 4. Run Memory Test: If above methods did not resolve the bug check then it may be possible that there is a problem in RAM. Run memory test. To do this, go to control panel> diagnose your Computer's Memory Problems
If it displays error then it means you have to replace your RAM.

Method 5. Repair Windows System Files: You can run System File Checker in command prompt to repair corrupted or missing System Files. Open an elevated command line and type SFC /scannow.

Method 6. Repair Hard Disk errors: Run Check Disk utility in command prompt to repair disk related errors. Type CHKDSK /F.

Hope it will help you.
