Blue Screen of Death (BSOD) BSOD error 0x0000016

Hi hemzki.

A stop 0x116 is a display/graphics related issue. For a laptop a stop 0x116 is either a GPU failure or a display driver failure.

Your computer is a laptop with a 700 series nvidia GPU. It seems to be a new one.

Stress test the Graphics Card using Furmark.
Video Card - Stress Test with Furmark

If it problems during furmark, RMA the laptop.

But if it is not, then it is a driver issue.

And unfortunately I dont know any driver version that works good with GTX 700 series. You may try the drivers on a trial and error basis:

• 320.49 WHQL
• 327.23 WHQL
• 331.58 WHWL
• 331.65 WHQL
• 331.82 WHQL
• 332.21 WHQL
• Any other driver version after that.

Get them from Drivers - Download NVIDIA Drivers

Do a clean install on all of them. Uninstall the previously installed driver first.
Uninstall All nvidia items in Control Panel > Programs and features

• 
  
  • 3D Vision Control Driver
  • 3D Vision Driver
  • Graphics Driver
  • HD Audio Driver
  • PhysX
  • nvidia Update
  • GeForce Experience
  
  (Are you using nvidia chipset drivers? If so, dont uninstall anything other than those are listed).
• Now follow Drivers - Clean Left over Files after Uninstalling
• Download the target WHQL. While installing, Select Custom (Advanced) install. In the next page, follow this settings:
  
  

Lengthy process, but the only stable version of nvidia is 314.22 lately, which does not support 700 series GPU.

Hope one of the drivers will work good for you.

Arc,
All that aside, the issue is a 016 error, not a 116 error.

Strange!
