I understand that this is a very important problem for you and that you'd like it solved as soon as is possible. But there are other circumstances that you may not be aware of. Please read this pinned topic about waiting for a response:
http://www.eightforums.com/bsod-crashes-debugging/48165-have-you-been-waiting-response.html
Does your laptop have integrated/dual graphics (most have an Intel graphics chip and another graphics chip)
In those circumstances I do not recommend installing the graphics driver from nVidia - but rather recommend the one from MSI as it may have special "tweaks" that make it work alongside the Intel chip (I'm uncertain which one you have installed).
Fully uninstalling the nVidia graphics drivers and then installing the MSI version may help.
Also, checking in Device Manager for problems with video may show that this is the problem (it's how I found out that my laptop had this exact problem).
Here's a link to what I think is the correct download page for your system:
MSI Global - Computer, Laptop, Notebook, Desktop, Motherboard, Graphics and more Install the VGA drivers AFTER removing the nVidia drivers.
**************************
All of the above is based on the details in your post. Now I'll move on to doing the analysis of the reports that you submitted......
Your BIOS dates from 2012, there are 2014 versions available at the MSI website. If possible, use the "inside Windows" flash mechanism (if your OEM provides one) - you're much less likely to have problems with a flash done this way. If you must flash the BIOS outside of Windows, please be advised that it is a very unforgiving process - and one mistake can physically damage your motherboard. If possible, use the "inside Windows" flash mechanism (if your OEM provides one).
At times the Killer Network Manager may cause BSOD problems (this may not be a problem, I wrote this "just in case", and I find the Network Manager early in reviewing the reports - well before I run the memory dumps):
NOTE: See this link first:
http://www.eightforums.com/bsod-cra...msi-gt70-dragon-edition-2-a-4.html#post358413 (thanks to kaelaan) It appears that the Killer Service problem was solved with the latest release of the Qualcomm versions of the drivers (so try updating to a version dated from later in 2014).
The Qualcomm Atheros Killer Service/KillerNetManager is known to cause BSOD's. Please follow the workaround instructions here:
First, open the Run dialog (Win + R keys) and type in "services.msc" (without the quotes) and press Enter
Scroll down and locate the "Qualcomm Atheros Killer Service" and right click on it. Select "Stop"
Right click on it again and this time select "Properties"
In the dropdown box for "Startup type", select "Disabled", then click on the "OK" button at the bottom of the window
Next, open Task Manager (right click on TaskBar and select "Task Manager")
Click on the "More details" dropdown (if present)
Click on the "Startup" tab
Scroll down and locate the "KillerNetManager" entry, right click on it and select "Disable"
There may also be an Install Shield (with the Killer gaming K next to it), if so Right click on it and select "Disable"
Finally, restart the system in order for the changes to take affect.
At times the Killer Network Manager will continue to load. If so, it's usually listed in the MSINFO32...Software Environment...Startup Programs section. If it is, please try this:
It may be that the instructions aren't stopping everything.
In some cases, there's a program running out of the Program Files/Program Files (x86) directory.
"c:\program files\qualcomm atheros\killer network manager\killer~1.exe" (NOTE: killer~1.exe is most likely killernetmanager.exe)
In other cases, there's a program running out of c:\windows\installer\{Long string of letters, numbers, and dashes}\networkmanager.exe_130c27d738f34c89bddf21bcfd74b56d.exe (the long string of letters and numbers may change)
Here's some things to try
1) Please see if there are any entries in the Startup tab of Task Manager that are related to Qualcomm/Atheros/Killer Network Manager (and NOT the card itself) and disable them (please let us know what you find) Be careful as the wrong selection can disable the network card.
2) Check in "msconfig" for any entries that aren't in the Startup tab of Task Manager. Let us know if you find any Qualcomm/Atheros/Killer entries there (we'll disable them differently if they are there).
3) Locate the "c:\program files\qualcomm atheros\killer network manager\killer~1.exe" and rename the .exe to .BAD (the killer~1 is actually a filename that starts with killer and ends with .exe) There will be an error in event viewer, but it'll stop the bugger from loading.
4) Locate the "c:\windows\installer\{Long string of letters, numbers, and dashes}\networkmanager.exe_130c27d738f34c89bddf21bcfd74b56d.exe" entry and rename the last .exe to .BAD (the long string of letters and numbers may change)
Just FYI - here are the MSI workaround instructions:
MSI USA - Online Technical Support FAQ
In this case the memory dump appears to show a low-level problem with the nVidia video
This can be a hardware problem, a compatibility problem, or even a driver problem.
As the nVidia drivers date from 2014, I suspect that my first supposition was correct (that you can't use the video drivers from nVidia - and must use those from MSI)
Please:
- uninstall the Intel graphics drivers from the system
- uninstall the nVidia drivers from the system
- remove remnants of the nVidia drivers left on your system:
https://forums.geforce.com/default/...ls-ddu-gmp-tdr-manupulator-updated-08-04-14-/
- download and install the Intel and nvidia graphics drivers from the MSI website
While you're at the MSI website, you might as well update the rest of your drivers (particularly the Broadcom Killer drivers - and don't forget to see the note above about the Killer Network Manager!).
Beyond this, as there was only 1 memory dump in the upload, I have these 3 suggestions:
1. Get ALL available Windows Updates. It may take several trips to get them all (check in order to be sure that you have them all)
2. Start with these free hardware diagnostics:
Hardware Diagnostics
3. If all of the hardware tests pass, then run Driver Verifier according to these instructions:
