Figure out the source by using Safe Mode
You should first point out the type of source which is causing the blue screen error to appear on your computer screen. The source can be of software related or due to any problem in the hardware. For that purpose, you should use your Windows in Safe Mode, which will help you recognise the type of source. Turn on your computer and press F8 key. You will then see a list of options, including Safe Mode at the top. Move the highlighter to the Safe Mode and hit the Enter key.
In safe mode, most of the software stops working. So, if your system works well in the Safe Mode and error free, then you are experiencing some conflict in any of the software installed in your computer. On the other hand, if the blue screen error still appears in the Safe Mode, then you should take your system to a professional, and get it checked, as the error could be caused by a hardware malfunction, beyond your understanding. -

Clean registry
Registry is one of the main parts of Windows operating systems. All the programs installed in the computer also register in the registry of the window. Moreover, the blue screen error also takes information from the registry. If you have uninstalled recently installed programs, and still the problem persists, then you should know that your registry is corrupted. Therefore, you should install a good registry cleaning software, which will clear or repair any damaged registries in the system registry.
