that BSOD is usually related to ram in my experience. in your start menu, type "windows memory diagnostic". run it and select restart. if it fails you probs have a loose stick, bad slot or bad stick. doesn't hurt to run it more than once if it passes the first time. you can try 1 stick of ram. also you can try to switch them out or swap different slots to test too.

It MAY be a memory issue, but note the:

"This appears to be a typical software driver bug and is not likely to be caused by a hardware problem."

(You can't just use the "error" code description of "IRQL_..." which by itself is pretty generic and MAY indicate a system memory issue)

1. Did you just build the PC?
2. If it was working fine already, did you CHANGE anything recently?

Other:
You can also try to RESTORE your system to an earlier Restore Point (Google for how if confused)->

a) Set a Restore Point now
b) RESTORE an earlier point (earliest prior to the problem)

If the problem goes away then it was likely a software issue (corruption, virus, bad driver update, other update etc).

1. No I bought it from a trusted/good company
2. I haven't really changed much apart from updating couple drivers as they were outdated & downloaded some softwares
