As previously warned (see above):
Via Microsoft’s Community forums, there are a number of reports that people are experiencing the blue screen of death with a Stop 0×50 error following the install of August’s Windows Updates. The August updates were where Microsoft said they were going to incorporate Windows 8.1 Update 2 into the regular updates but this error is also affecting Windows 7 with reports of Windows Server 2008 R2 being affected as well. Only the 64-bit versions of the operating systems seem to be impacted by the update.
Three updates are related to the errors: KB2976897, KB2982791, and KB2970228. The kernel-mode driver updates are triggering the errors on some computers and the exact cause is unknown. Those updates add the ruble character as a currency marker.
Reverting the updates or restoring from a system restore point seems to allow the computers to boot again.
