A Blue Screen of Death (BSOD) is usually hardware or software related. Most of the BSODs show a code (see the content in red rectangle) that can be used to figure out the root cause of the Blue Screen of Death.
Option One: Check if you have enough space left
Blue Screen of Death problems and some other serious error, such as data corruption, can occur if there is not enough free space on your primary partition used for Windows operating system, which is usually installed in Disk or partition C. Windows 10 uses approximately 10 GBs of disk space, please make sure that you have enough room in your Disk C to store the setup files of Windows 10.
Option Two: Scan your computer for viruses
Make sure you have upgraded your antivirus program database to the latest version first. Then use it to scan your computer to see if there is some virus that could cause this problem. If you are not sure how to update your database of your antivirus program, it is suggested that you search for related information in the developer or manufacturer website.
Option Three: Apply all available Windows service packs and other updates
Service pack is a collection of updates and fixes, called patches, for operating system or a software program. It usually allows an easy and single installation. You could usually check your service pack in Control Panel > System.
In Windows, most patches and fixes are available through Windows Update. It is suggested that you check whether your computer has installed the latest released patches in Settings > Updates & security.
Option Four: Test Your System Memory and your Hard Disk Drive(HDD)
These two tests are done to make sure whether your memory card or hard drive are to blame for the BSOD error. If they are problematic, you should consider replace them as soon as possible.
and R at the same time to invoke a Run command. Type mdsched.exe in the run box and hit Enter.
2) You could choose Restart now and check for problems (recommended) to check the status of your memory card right now, or choose Check for problems the next time I start my computer if you are too occupied now.

If you don’t see any error here, it’s likely that your memory card is not causing any issues.

Option Five: Roll Back Driver in Safe Mode
The first thing you need to ask yourself is whether you have installed any new applications or drivers on your computer. If so, it is very likely that the change you made caused the BSOD.
In this case, it is suggested that you roll the newly installed driver back to its previous version. If you are not sure what changes have you made, it is suggested that you do a system restore. If you need help with system restore on Windows 10, please refer to this post here for more information.
