I think the issue can be counted as solved now. No more BSODs after installing NVIDIA driver from laptop vendor ASUS.
Thank you all for help.
I hope this thread will help to other people too.
I can't mark my Answer - as the Answer for the Question. So i only renamed the 1st post.
Went to graphics card manufacturer website and downloaded and installed latest driver as well as running windows update. Problem seems to be solved
I have the same problem. Brand new DELL computer, first thing I did was to update from Windows 8 to 8.1 and one of my devices won't show up, tried to scan for new device and getting that blue screen... Attached the DMP file... Help?

Hello,
I am experiencing frequent system crashes since I upgraded to Windows 8.1
I am pasting below WhoCrashed report.
Could you please help me solve this issue?
I suspect the culprit is NVIDIA graphics driver, but it's always up do date to the latest version.
Thanks and regards,
Marco
