Hi Falley,

Welcome to the 8forums

I have analyzed the logs and I currently have found a few things worth mentioning.

1. You appear to be running 2 different models of memory, this can cause various of problems.
I recommend that you remove either of them, suggested is to remove the 4GB stick.

2. I recommend to only use drivers that are provided by the laptop manufacturer, ASUS in your case.
Download the VGA driver and install it, laptop manufacturers usually alter their drivers forcing the users to only install those drivers for 100% stable and performance functionality.
You can of course run other drivers too, but these aren't as stable and hence they can cause problems.

3. I would suggest that you update your BIOS too.
