1.     Try Reinstalling the card driver for your graphics

You can reinstall your graphic drivers to check if this is the culprit behind the BSOD. This is how you can reinstall the card driver of your graphics:

1. First you must tap the Windows key + R key on your keyboard and then enter “msc”. Then hit the Enterkey to access the Device Manager.
2. Keep scrolling down till you locate the option for Display Adaptersand then access the menu which drop downs. Click on the option for your graphics driver and simply tap on Uninstall Device.
3. Then go on downloading the recent most graphics driver by visiting the official site of your manufacturer. Complete the installation of the recent most driver for your GPU Model and version of Windows you are using.
4. Restart your PC and see if the BSOD error disappears or not. If it is still there, you should move to fix 2.

2.      Turn off the CPU or GPU overclocking

The annoying BSOD crash linked with the Ntkrnlmp.exe occurs commonly when CPU or GPU are overclocked. Many users have faced this trouble but have managed to get rid of it by disabling their clocked frequencies.

If anything on your PC is currently overclocked, you must switch back the frequencies and see how your system readjusts to this setting. If the error and crash stop you must gradually reduce this frequency till a stable state has been reached with the BSOD crashes which at an appropriate frequency must stop.

3.     Switch off the C-states and EIST from the BIOS

Whatever the architecture of your PC is, your operating system is most likely running on a C-state and EIST which is the short form for Enhanced Intel Speed Step Technology in order to save on energy when the CPU is set to idle. This process alters the voltage of the CPU when it is in idle mode or in times when the load is low. Now according to the model of your CPU, this might generate insufficient voltage which may result in BSOD.

You can test this by switching off these two on the BIOS but according to your motherboard the exact guideline for this may be different. On many of the BIOS versions these two options can be found in the section for Advanced Menu after which you must access the CPU configuration and finally go to CPU Power Management. Then switch off both of these and confirm this setting to save it.
