Solution 1: Update Your Drivers
This problem usually occurs because of a missing driver file which causes you entire system to freeze, especially if the driver is rather important for your system. You never know just which driver causes the issue until you have a professional take a look at your system dump file. However, you can update all drivers and check to see if the issue is fixed. Even if only one driver was causing the issue, you are better off knowing that you updated all drivers, preventing the issue from occurring with another driver.
