hi,

troubleshoot blue screen errors <-- read link
http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-10/troubleshoot-blue-screen-errors 

can analyze minidumps if make them available
onedrive or other file sharing sites (such mediafire). if have
problems uploading minidumps copy them desktop or
documents folder , upload them there.

one-drive - share files , folders , change permissions
http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/onedrive/share-file-folder

upload photos , files
http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/onedrive/add-photos-files

zip or upload contents of c:\windows\minidump

use onedrive upload collected files

=====================================================

"could" power supply problem though not common cause.

9f is likely driver issue. antivirus/antispyware/security programs can cause
these issues.

have added devices lately or updated drivers - sure check in windows
updates see if driver updated prior occurring.
caused loose card or cable , weak power supply.

error means driver not handling power state properly. check in
control panel - device manager sure major drivers not shut off
during sleep - double click display adapter - nic , wifi - sound ,
others - power management tab - uncheck allow computer turn off power.
maybe 1 has issue.

(use run instead of start - search used on vista or windows 7)

winkey + x - run - type in msconfig.exe

general tab - check diagnostic start  - apply / ok  -  reboot

try now. if still blue screens think video driver. if not think nic, wifi,
sound, or.....(and still video interacting else).
see troubleshooter link above generic driver update methods.

----------------------------------------------------------

this is my generic how proper driver updates :

utility makes easy see versions loaded :  run driverview -
set view hide microsoft drivers - update without dump in
names. (also update bios , low level chipset drivers)

driverview - free - utility displays list of device drivers loaded
on your system. each driver in list, additional useful information
displayed: load address of driver, description, version, product name,
company created driver, and more.
http://www.nirsoft.net/utils/driverview.html

drivers check system maker fallbacks , device maker's
most current. control panel - device manager - display adapter - write down
make and complete model of video adapter - double click - driver's
tab - write down the version info. click update driver (this may not
ms far behind certifying drivers) - right click - uninstall -
reboot refresh driver stack.

repeat network - network card (nic), wifi, sound, mouse ,
keyboard if 3rd party own software , drivers , other
major device drivers you have.

go system maker's site (dell, hp, toshiba examples) (as rollback)
, device maker's site (realtek, intel, nvidia, ati examples) ,
latest versions. (look bios, chipset and software updates @ system
maker's site while there.)

download - save - go put them - right click - run ad admin -
reboot after each installation.

check in device manager - drivers tab sure version
installing actually shows up. because drivers rollback before
latest installed (sound drivers particularly this) install driver - reboot
- check sure is installed , repeat needed.

repeat @ device makers - btw at device makers not run scanner
– check manually model.

manually @ manufacturer's sites drivers - , device maker's sites.

after doing updates can, , if issue continues, run
driververifier. (remember use windows 8/8.1 methods posted @
top of original reply above.)

using driver verifier identify issues windows drivers advanced users

winkey + x - run - type in -> verifier /reset      hit enter disable

use bluescreenview see if there driver specified in error message.
check with myeventviewer @ time of bluescreen.

if driver verifier creates minidump upload , post link here
can analyze it.

hope helps.
