First back up your important data. Then boot into Safe Mode and uninstall any recently added antivirus backup or disk tools. In Normal mode update Windows and update chipset and storage drivers from your PC maker not random sites. Run Command Prompt as admin and do sfc /scannow then DISM /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth and finally chkdsk /f /r on your system drive. Run Windows Memory Diagnostic to rule out RAM issues. If the crash persists check the minidump in Event Viewer or use a crash analyser to identify the offending filter driver and remove or update that software.
