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.

    I have found on ASUS Global some newer drivers for Videocard(VER. 9.18.13.1127) and some othres and have installed them. Test period starts now again. I hope if i will not have BSODs one week the issue can be counted as solved. 

    I will report here after some time about my results.

    Confirmed, and thank you.

    Futhermore, I discovered on http://rog.asus.com/forum/showthread.php?31581-New-nVIDIA-Driver-from-ASUS-9.18.13.1127-(311.27) that you can find newer drivers by searching "VGA" on asus website : http://support.asus.com/Download/ModelList.aspx?keyword=vga&type=1

    I'm currently running perfectly the version 9.18.13.1141 (nVidia = 311.41) while the model specific page only have the version 9.18.13.0668 (nVidia = 306.68), which is bugged (cannot launch some games, ..).

    Computer fiability is now getting better http://imgur.com/KRqI2ET :D

    I also use the same driver version as you (9.18.13.1141 (nVidia = 311.41)). And it works better. And i have found it the same way as you :)
