Overclocking tools often cause BSOD errors because they put too much strain on your hardware. Try disabling them first. If that did not work, uninstall your overclocking software.

Scan your computer for viruses

Virus or malware infections may also trigger this error. Use Windows 10’s built-in antivirus or a third-party antivirus to scan your computer for malware.

Run an in-depth scan although this may sometimes take more than an hour to complete. In this manner, you’ll make sure to scan all the files and folders on your device.

Check for overheating issues

If your computer’s temperature got abnormally high, your device may crash with various BSOD errors in order to prevent further hardware damage. Ensure your PC is placed in a well-ventilated place. Use a cooler or a cooling pad if you often run resource-hogging programs, such as video-processing tools or overclocking software.
