Windows 10: Blue Screen Error-Driver Power State Failure

Please help. I keep getting this blue screen error after about an hour of using my laptop. All my drivers are up to date according to Windows update and Dell Support app. I honestly have no idea what else to do. On another note, my laptop tends to overheat when it is plugged in and when i am running a program. I have a cooling fan that stays on but laptop still overheats. So I am not sure if this is a power issue, battery issue, or driver issue. My laptop is only 2 years old.
