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.

    Try the graphics driver (display adapter in device manager). Then reboot and it should re-install.

    In the case of NVidia read here:

    But do that at your own risk. I disclaim any responsibility.

    Hi, In the last 20 minutes, my Acer laptop Windows 8 64-bit has restarted 4 times with the watchdog_violation. How do I avoid this or fix it? i read method 3 and do not understand which driver I am supposed to uninstall. Any help is greatly appreciated.

    I had this problem and began to look for the answers.  It turned out it was my hotels wifi system!  They had a bridge system with transmitters in each room.  I carry a wireless wifi with me and once I hooked into that the problem ceased.  So before checking all the various solutions I would suggest thinking about what has changed recently in your set up if this begins occurring to you.  It may be as simple as the wifi system you are using.

    Yes I listed firewall there but was not meant as part of Defender itself, but instead running alongside, as part of Windows. Sorry if it sounded confusing. Defender has worked pretty well for me, only yesterday catching four different trojans (trojan clickers and downloaders) immediately as soon as I attached another person's USB stick. In my experience DEfender works as well as AVG et al. if anything, a lot quieter and lighter than the likes of Norton or McAffee.
