Chances are the GPU installed on your system might be faulty, so one way to check this is to remove the dedicated graphic card and leave the system with only integrated one and see if the issue is resolved or not.

Metotia 10: Siaki le Sapalai Malosiaga

A faulty or failing Power Supply is generally the cause for the Bluescreen of death errors. Because the power consumption of hard disk is not met, it won’t get enough power to run, and subsequently, you may need to restart the PC several times before it can take the adequate power from PSU. In this case, you may need to replace the power supply with a new one or you could borrow a spare power supply to test if this is the case here.

If you have recently installed new hardware such as video card then chances are the PSU is not able to deliver the necessary power needed by the graphic card. Just temporarily remove the hardware and see if this fixes the issue. If the issue is resolved then in order to use the graphic card you may need to purchase a higher voltage Power Supply Unit.
