Hey guys,

So recently I've been getting quite a few BSODs from my 6 month old laptop.
For the research I've installed bluescreenview to see what is causing the crashes.
Here is the logs for the most recent crash I had (Which is about 20 mins earlier):

Hi circle26.

Update the display driver to 332.21 WHQL.

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

Are you overclocking? As you are getting BSODs, you should stop overclocking and run all the hardware components like CPU, GPU and RAM to their default settings.

Is the computer hot? Report us the heat of the computer after a couple of hours of your normal usage. Upload a screenshot of the summery tab of Speccy. Alternatively, you can publish a Speccy snapshot too: http://www.sevenforums.com/tutorials/311593-speccy-publish-snapshot-your-system-specs.html .

Let us know the results. For any further issue, post it following the Blue Screen of Death (BSOD) Posting Instructions.

Dear Arc,

After I posted this article, I realized that my computer isn't using the NVidia Video Drive. Instead it was using the Intel one that is powered by my processor
I tried to restore my computer to 5 days ago but with no progress. I believe that there must be something wrong with the video driver.
I never overclocked any of my hardwares nor have any clue on how to.
Also I always have a fan that is below my laptop that is running the whole time my computer's running.
Before you replied, I have already contacted my provider and sent my computer for a repair for it is still in its warranty.

Still, thanks alot for you and the community's help. I am already touched by your reply.
Cheers and thanks alot
