Hello Everyone

I bought a HP 15-ab034tx Laptop two months ago, and I have been having BSOD's since. I thought they were just because of Drivers. And thus I updated all of them. Most of the BSOD's were fixed, but not all of them. I upgraded it to Windows 10 (Clean Install) from the pre-installed Windows 8.1 Single Language. The amount of BSOD's reduced, and downgrading nVidia Graphics Card driver, also helped in reducing.
All I was left with was 1-2 BSOD's per day, which mostly were WIN8_DRIVER_FAULT.

I talked to HP Support and they sent me a Recovery Disc, as they believed it is an OS error.
I used their Disc and it installed Windows 8.1 Single Language, and on the first day it ran smoothly. Today is the second day, and I have had 4-5 BSOD's.

So, I need your help in identifying the source.
