I got a new computer a few months ago and have been getting the BSoD sometimes, usually right after waking it up from standby. I've seen different reasons including PFN List Corrupt, Pagefault in Nonpaged Area, Driver IRQL Not Less or Equal, and System Service Exception. I've checked the drivers and made sure they're up to date, and I ran the Windows Memory Diagnostic and MemTest86 but neither showed and problems. Here's the .dmp from the most recent time:

I think windows was prefetching software to load into memory and the memory image was corrupted.

your BIOS is current, you don't have overclocking software, the correct various drivers were updated, your cpu is not overclocked.

I would be looking at the storage driver and the storage, run crystal disk info and check the health.

You might turn off prefetch service, but it would be better to make sure the drive is not having errors and the files are not corrupted.

windows 8 and above would fix bad clusters on old drives windows 7 expects you to do a full format to fix and mark them as bad.

what kind of drive do you have? you can also run rammap.exe and go to the "empty" menu item and clear the various working sets
to clear the list of what will be automatically prefetched for you.
