Welcome aboard, Raj.

The minidump you uploaded shows a Bugcheck code A. It may happen for a number of causes like Kernel mode driver, System Service, BIOS, Windows, Virus scanner, Backup tool, compatibility etc. (source: BSOD Index)

I would suggest you two things:
► Enable Driver Verifier:
Driver Verifier - Enable and Disable

► Post again, after you get another crash, following the Blue Screen of Death (BSOD) Posting Instructions

I'm not a BSOD expert. But if you've been getting BSODs ever since you purchased your Sony Vaio, I would suspect it might have bad hardware. If it's still under warranty, I'd take it back to where you purchased it and ask that they run their diagnostic checks. If taking it back is not an option, have you run the Vaio Care diagnostic checks?

Raj, apparently there are four issues.

► Intel Storage drivers

Code:

fffff880`03584608  fffff880`01053877Unable to load image \SystemRoot\system32\drivers\iaStor.sys, Win32 error 0n2
*** WARNING: Unable to verify timestamp for iaStor.sys
*** ERROR: Module load completed but symbols could not be loaded for iaStor.sys
 iaStor+0x2d877

► Intel(R) USB 3.0 eXtensible Host Controller Driver

Code:

fffff880`03585428  fffff880`048a5a38Unable to load image \SystemRoot\system32\DRIVERS\iusb3xhc.sys, Win32 error 0n2
*** WARNING: Unable to verify timestamp for iusb3xhc.sys
*** ERROR: Module load completed but symbols could not be loaded for iusb3xhc.sys
 iusb3xhc+0x1a38

You will get both the updates in Download Center. But, IMO, better you uninstall Intel Rapid Storage.

► update the network driver.
First, download the network card driver from manufactuer's website.
Then reinstall the driver:

Click the Start Button, type "devmgmt.msc" (without quotation marks) in the Start Menu Search box and press Enter.
Double click to expand "Network adaptors".
Right click your network card and click Uninstall.
Check "Delete driver software for this device" check box, click OK.
Restart the computer
If windows does not auto configure the appropriate drivers at startup, install the downloaded one manually.

► Check the Hard Disks

Reseat the sata and power.
Run chkdsk /f/r, following the option two of the tutorial Disk Check
Seatool for dos: SeaTools | Seagate download
Burn it in a blank cd. boot from the CD, click on "Accept", wait for it to finish detecting the drives, then in the upper left corner select "Basic Tests", then select "Long Test" and let it run.

Let us know the results.
