    I thought that I had the samsung driver version installed initially, but I will install it again and see what happens. Also, is it possible that all of these crashes are happening due to a bad power adapter? I have noticed that I never get BSODs when I am running off of battery. Could just be a coincidence though?

    Always.
    Power, heat and dust, these three are very often causes of graphics related crashes. Though it is difficult to clean the inside of a laptop, but the other two may be taken into control.

    You may try a different power adapter in that case.

    OK, I will continue testing it and I will pick up a new power adapter to see if that helps. Thanks again!

    I tested the graphics with furmark and my max temperature while connected to the power supply is 71 and on battery is 57. Is this normal or maybe this shows a problem?

    It is tending to be high, but not a big problem I think.

    Do you know of any way that I can test the power adapter?

    Probably you cannot test, but you can rule out.

    Use the power adapter to another computer and see what happens there. Use another power adapter to this computer and see what happens there.

    I had another crash today with a new power adapter. I am still unable to crash the laptop when running on batteries, but that is probably a coincidence. I have attached the crash files.

    Thanks again, you are being so helpful!

    Scan the system for possible virus infection.
    Code:
    fffff880`02f1ba18  fffff880`00dcf2eb ataport!IdeSeverCompletedList+0x1b7

    fffff880`02f1b620  fffff880`00dd91a0 ataport!WPP_MAIN_CB

    Waiting eagerly to know the result of those two scans.

    Atheros AR9485WB-EG Wireless Network Adapter driver is causing the problem here.
    Code:
    fffff880`02f1a358  fffff880`04377281Unable to load image athrx.sys, Win32 error 0n2
    *** WARNING: Unable to verify timestamp for athrx.sys
    *** ERROR: Module load completed but symbols could not be loaded for athrx.sys
     athrx+0x114281
    And the driver is old enough.
    Code:
    fffff880`04263000 fffff880`04515000   athrx    T (no symbols)

        Translations:     0000.04b0 0000.04e4 0409.04b0 0409.04e4
    Update it from ATHEROS Wireless drivers for Windows, match the device number in the list ....AR9485WB

    Try to update the display driver, if possible. It is continuously crashing.
    Code:
    fffff880`02f1afa8  fffff880`02d8efdcUnable to load image atikmpag.sys, Win32 error 0n2
    *** WARNING: Unable to verify timestamp for atikmpag.sys
    *** ERROR: Module load completed but symbols could not be loaded for atikmpag.sys
     atikmpag+0x7fdc

    *** ERROR: Module load completed but symbols could not be loaded for atikmdag.sys
     atikmdag+0x3f3b13
    For those reasons, I like the laptops with simplest configuration, as the drivers needed are supplied by the laptop brand, and they dont update those regularly.

    Apply these changes and let us know the results.

    I ran both the Anti-rootkit utility TDSSKiller and Windows Defender Offline and nothing was reported.

    I also successfully updated my wireless adapter.

    I tried to install the driver supplied here as you suggested, but it said that it was an incompatible driver (Drivers for Atheros AR9485WB and Windows 7). I even tried to install it manually, but it would not let me. Do you have any other suggestions? The driver that is installed is a driver that I found on the Samsung website for my laptop.
