My machine started to slow down after installing Flash Player a few weeks back. I have since refreshed it, started using Firefox instead of Chrome, removed email accounts and set Mail to manual, removed the old files and settings, and everything else I can think of to speed it up (including disabling indexing). I've also run a full scan with Avast and Malwarebytes which found two files if memory serves.
Anyway, my machine continued to run slowly until this morning. I suspect this may be a separate issue, so I'll get to the point. This morning the Toshiba bloatware told me I had some new Bluetooth and WiFi drivers to install, which I duly did. About fifteen minutes later, whilst using LibreOffice to save .csv file, I got the BSOD mentioned in the title. I suspect it may be driver related, but figure experts know best.
Another thing to note is I got a warning about my AMD video drivers just now. This particular warning claimed my drivers wouldn't work with AMD catalyst. As I have Intel HD 4000 graphics working in tandem with AMD R7 M260 graphics, I have to wonder if I have a graphical issue too. I'll upload the BSOD zip ASAP, assuming my machine doesn't go down again before I manage to do so.
