looking at the drivers we can see it is very old:

other thoughts:

Laptops in particular are very prone to over heating be sure you use them on a hard flat surface, or even better with a cooling pad. You may also want to try and clean the fans out as this particular BSOD can be caused by overheating which can be caused by over heating.
