    That's great. What I want to try next, there is some risk involved. It is theoretically possible you may have to do a clean install. But, we take every precaution for that not to happen. It has never happened on a case I have worked on. Just to be safe I would back up everything and do an image. Also, be certain to create a restore point before you start.

       Warning
    Be sure to create a System Restore point before proceeding further System Restore Point - Create


    Driver Verifier - Enable and Disable

    Run Driver Verifier for 24 hours or the occurrence of the next crash, whichever is earlier.

       Information

    What is Driver Verifier:
    It puts stress on the drivers, and tries to make the faulty driver crash the computer. It is designed this way, to attempt to trap the offending driver.



    What you will notice:

    It will tend to make the computer rather slow and sluggish because the drivers are being stressed.
       Warning

    Before enabling DV, make sure you have created a system restore point before enabling Driver Verifier. make a System Restore Point manually before enabling DV.



       Tip



    Let us know the results, with the subsequent crash dumps, if any.

    This was done on Windows 10 but it is the same on Windows 7.

    I ran driver verifier earlier but only tried it for 5 hours or so I think, didn't crash just sitting on the desktop. I'll load it up tonight and let it run overnight.

    So even with driver verifier running, it only seems to want to BSOD when I'm watching videos or playing games etc. It went about 18 hours in total just sitting on the desktop or being used to browse webpages, but the 3 or 4 times it did crash was when I was playing heroes of the storm/diablo or fired up prime95.
    Oops it was longer than 5 hours, went 18 hours with DV running, no crashes as long as it was just sitting on the desktop. I'll leave it again overnight with DV running.

    Use it tomorrow too. Do what you normally do, except for games or videos for a good while. Then play a game or watch a video after you've given it a good workout.

    It went over 24 hours fine with driver verifier running, didn't use the laptop just left it running. I've been gaming again but haven't actually had another BSOD since the 23/12/15 which is the longest I've ever seen it go (usually it would be a couple every hour). I haven't tried watching any twitch.tv yet though.

    I'm still running with the NVidia card disabled.

    Try the gaming again and some Twitch TV and see how it does then disable Verifier. Then we'll punt.
