Random BSOD - New Laptop Samsung Series 8

So I've had this laptop since christmas and I'm a bit worried about a few things..

The Samsung support for drivers is beyond pathetic. There is basically nothing available to the users except this software package called SW Update. A few of the updates simply don't work, which includes an audio driver and a bluetooth driver.

The switchable graphics has had trouble since Win 8.1, but I've gotten it to work thanks to some google searching. The Intel support for Win 8.1 has also been a mess from what I understand. Getting the Intel HD to run smoothly in tandem with the AMD Radeon has been an adventure...

However, I've had some random times where the AMD graphics driver randomly stopped responding and recovered successfully (not gaming at the time).

I'm worried that there is something more serious going on here, but hopefully it's just a driver issue.

Today I got a BSOD for the first time and I didn't get a chance to see what it was before it auto restarted.
I've since disabled the auto restart.

I've uploaded my mini dump file and any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!

Hi,

Uninstall Kaspersky.

Set Windows Firewall and Windows Defender to Automatic and start them too.

Enjoy.
