Great, now for the past 2 or 3 days, I'm getting a new blue screen. Maybe 3 or 4 times now total.
Almost caught it last time, but it's completing a memory dump then restarting the computer.
The file showing is bcmw(4 numbers).sys
I couldn't write down the numbers fast enough.
Any thoughts?

is your laptop still overclocked?

Search for the file and get it properties in order to determine what it is. Google says that's probably a Broadcom file. Do you have BT?

Ah, the ghost of windows crashed: the Blue Screen of Death.
I have similar problems with my older desktop, the Dell XPS 720. I get about 4 blue screens a day.
Firstly, what does the blue screen display? My common blue screens are: MEMORY_MANAGEMENT, IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL, and BAD_POOL_HEADER
Secondly, goto control panel>administrative tools>event viewer>Windows logs>system and post a screenshot of any red flags, which look like this (my system btwI'm almost certain I have a faulty MCH):

Okay, just played another game of League Of Legends, and I got it!
BCMWL664.sys
only it wasn't caps.
Guessing it has to do with my wireless drivers, now I REALLY wanna get the intel wireless... lol -
Seems like dodgy wireless drivers. Try updating them using the ones from the dell site, or download this one here: ftp://ftp.hp.com/pub/softpaq/sp45501-46000/sp45522.exe

Alrighty, we'll try.
Downloading the ones from my account on dell, same version. We'll uninstall and reload and see if the problem persists.
Any difference with the HP ones you listed? -
According to this thread: Broadcom Wireless Win64bit BSOD bcmwl664.sys Fix - RRTech...The SOURCE for Extreme Liquid Cooling
"Broadcom released bad drivers for 64 bit OS's to Apple, HP, Dell, and several other manufacturers, leading to consistent BSOD issues. BSOD cause is bcmwl664.sys which is a part of the broadcom drivers for their BCM43xx series wireless controllers."
The hp ones are the ones linked to in the thread, so hopefully they fix your issue!
New Blue Screens!
