The BSOD has been happening for quite a lot of times now. The latest one happened when I just restarted my laptop. It took long to start and just showed me the error. Before that, I was playing a game and was on Youtube then youtube hung and then it showed me the error once more. I have been reading stuff online and have been watching tutorials on how to fix it and I can't seem to find the right one. I read one of the comments saying it might be happening because the "Power Supply can't push out enough juice for all of your components" and my battery usually is out whenever I'm playing so that might have affected it but I don't really know if it has a relation with the error. I haven't experienced the BSOD before though and I have been using my laptop without the battery before. Hope you can help me!

Sorry for the delay in responding. Do you still need help with this topic?
If so, respond and I'll be notified by email.

While waiting for a reply, please try these suggestions:
1. Get ALL available Windows Updates. It may take several trips to get them all
2. Get ALL available, Windows 8.1 compatible updates from the manufacturer's website.
3. Start with these free hardware diagnostics: Hardware Diagnostics
4. If all of the hardware tests pass, then run Driver Verifier according to these instructions: Driver Verifier Settings
