Windows 10: Randomly got a bluescreen code 50 while I was away

I use a Windows 10 x64. I had stepped away from my PC for about 20 minutes and came back to find it was on the pin screen due to a bluescreen it got earlier, so I do not know the exact error code it got. I was not using any programs at the time of the crash, aside from leaving my browser open with a few tabs open.Two days ago I did get another bluescreen due to a memory access violation while using a program. I unfortunately no longer have its error log anymore, but I do know that the bluescreen I got today is different. I need help diagnosing what exactly happened here.Source WindowsSummary S

bluescreen

Hi,

Thank you for writing to Microsoft Community.

I understand that it can be frustrating for you when the computer shows bluescreen errors. Bluescreen errors are usually caused due to faulty hardware or drivers. We will try to narrow down the cause of the issue by performing a few steps.

1. Do you get bluescreen errors randomly or while performing any specific actions such as playing a game or running any particular application?
   
2. Do you see any error code along with the message “DRIVERS POWER STATE FAILURE”?
   
3. Are there any external devices connected to your computer?
   

The usual causes for bluescreen errors are Graphic card drivers and Network adapter drivers. We can go ahead and try to update the drivers.

Refer the article Update drivers in Windows 10 on how to update Graphic card
and Network drivers.

You may also refer the article Troubleshoot blue screen errors
for additional troubleshooting steps to fix the issue.

You can reply to this post if you need further assistance

Hope it helps.

Constant bluescreens - still not fixed

I don't think you understood my issue - my bluescreens are random, so I can't do a clean boot and provoke a bluescreen. I am not sure what the steps you suggested have anything to do with my problem and it is not clear how it will help. The PC does boot
up normally, it just crashes randomly during the day.

I am pretty sure the issue is related to a driver that could be incompatible with Win 10. Please check the older threads to further understand the issue.

Thank you.
