There is usually more to the Stop Error than what you've written. See this
link for 0x00000050: PAGE_FAULT_IN_NONPAGED_AREA.

Generally speaking, this is a hardware error. Without knowing anything about
your computer or its recent history, all I can suggest is that you do some
basic hardware troubleshooting, starting with the RAM.

Testing hardware failures often involves swapping out suspected parts with
known-good parts. If you can't do the testing yourself and/or are
uncomfortable opening your computer, take the machine to a professional
computer repair shop (not your local equivalent of
BigComputerStore/GeekSquad). If possible, have all your data backed up
before you take the machine into a shop. This can be done even if you can't
boot into Windows. Let me know if you need instructions for doing that.
