To troubleshoot this Blue Screen error (STOP code 3b), here are some steps you can take:

1. Update Drivers: Outdated or incompatible drivers can often cause BSOD errors. Ensure that all your drivers, especially graphics and chipset drivers, are up to date.
2. Check for Windows Updates: Make sure your Windows operating system is fully updated. Sometimes, Microsoft releases patches to fix known issues that can cause BSOD errors.
3. Scan for Malware: Run a full system scan with your antivirus software to check for any malware that could be causing the problem.
4. Check Hardware: Faulty hardware components, such as RAM, can also lead to BSOD errors. You can run hardware diagnostics to check for any issues.
5. System Restore: If you recently made changes to your system, you can try using System Restore to go back to a point where the system was stable.
6. Review Recent Changes: Think about any recent software or hardware changes you made to your system before the BSOD occurred. Reversing these changes might help resolve the issue.
7. Check System Logs: You can check the Event Viewer in Windows to get more details about the error and see if there are any recurring patterns. If you continue to experience issues after following these steps, it might be beneficial to seek assistance from a professional or provide more details about the circumstances leading up to the BSOD for further analysis.
