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.

    Hi there.. I used to get 2 - 15 crashes a day on my Super spec laptop (MSI GT70)

    I reduced the blue screen crashes by doing 2 things;

    • Disable your graphics card's auto update and auto install
    • Disable Windows Updates auto update and auto install

    What my theory is that large files that are automatically downloading in the background and then auto installing in the background it puts a bit of strain on Windows background processes and then it malfunctions

    Since I disabled my Windows Updates auto install and update my I know hardly ever get that ridiculous blue screen Issue

    Questions;

    1. What graphics card do you have 
    2. Is your machine hard disks SSD or normal Sata Hard Disks

    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.
