    All started when I decided to upgrade my current laptop (a P170SM) to extend its life a little longer. Since then I receive a BSOD at least once every two weeks in the best scenario. I upgraded my laptop with the following components:

    Intel i7 4700QM -> 4940MX
    Nvidia 770M GTX -> Nvidia1070 GTX

    Since I bought my GPU from Eurocom (I bought the CPU from ebay), they provided me the BIOS and EC upgrades necessary to make the hardware compatible. Also they provided me with a modified driver but since I need to stay up with the newest Nvidia driver versions I´ve been downloading them from prema´s official site:

    https://premamod.wordpress.com/2017/08/15/j95-nvidia-inf/

    Normally, everything works fine until the BSOD occurs, often when I'm only browsing the web, not even using the dedicated GPU.
    I´ve run WhoCrashed to catch the latest crashes my laptop has suffered. I suspect that this problem is triggered due the optimus Nvidia system. Is there any known fix to an issue like this?

    The WhoCrashed report is the following:

    Conclusion
    4 crash dumps have been found and analyzed. 2 third party drivers have been identified to be causing system crashes on your computer. It is strongly suggested that you check for updates for these drivers on their company websites. Click on the links below to search with Google for updates for these drivers:

    nvlddmkm.sys (NVIDIA Windows Kernel Mode Driver, Version 436.15 , NVIDIA Corporation)
    syntp.sys (Synaptics Touchpad Win64 Driver, Synaptics Incorporated)

    If no updates for these drivers are available, try searching with Google on the names of these drivers in combination with the errors that have been reported for these drivers. Include the brand and model name of your computer as well in the query. This often yields interesting results from discussions on the web by users who have been experiencing similar problems.


    Read the topic general suggestions for troubleshooting system crashes for more information.

    Note that it's not always possible to state with certainty whether a reported driver is responsible for crashing your system or that the root cause is in another module. Nonetheless it's suggested you look for updates for the products that these drivers belong to and regularly visit Windows update or enable automatic updates for Windows. In case a piece of malfunctioning hardware is causing trouble, a search with Google on the bug check errors together with the model name and brand of your computer may help you investigate this further.
    Thanks in advance

    As for the syntp, its a known issue for the old laptops!

    Just follow this guide to mitigate the issue:

    http://forum.notebookreview.com/threads/synaptics-causes-bsod-on-p650se.770938/page-16#post-10235938

    OR use my fix for it:

    https://mega.nz/#!XNwmCQ6b!nLsYLr6oCp4bfjXgtIP1LlR7nZF-V2mDOBKh-NQJP_I

    Add to registry and reboot and the syntp BSOD should be gone for good!

    (you might need to do this every time you install windows or a big update is released)

    the nvidia BSOD usually is due to high temps. Check CPU and GPU temperatures.. on idle and full load

    Insyde HID Filter Driver v2.1.0.6_RS5_tr.zip [ Download]

    Unpack. Right click the Batch-File and run with Admin rights.

    === 1) BEFORE INSTALLATION ===

    To find out your currently installed driver, go to:

    -> Open "Device Manager"
    -> Unfold "Mice and other pointing devices"
    -> Double click on "HID-compliant mouse"
    -> Open "Driver" tab
    -> Click on "Driver Details" button
    -> Read "File Version" of "HKMouFlt.sys"


    === 2) QUICK GUIDE ===

    You have to properly uninstall the current version and reboot, before you can install the new driver.
    -> Run "uninstall.bat" with Admin rights
    -> Reboot
    -> Run "install.bat" with Admin rights


    === 3) UNINSTALL GUIDE ===

    Right click on "uninstall.bat" and "Run as administrator"

    Output should be like this:
    - HKKbdFltr driver is uninstalled.
    - HKMouFltr driver is uninstalled.
    - HKClipSvc was removed.

    After this is finished, reboot your system.


    === 4) INSTALL GUIDE ===

    Right click on "install.bat" and "Run as administrator"

    Output should be like this:
    - HKKbdFltr driver is installed.

    After this is finished, the installation is complete.

    Thanks a lot for touchpad driver recommendation. I guess this leaves only one BSOD to go!
    I stumbled with a solution offered in this post by user cj_miranda23 (kinda looks like the same sort of BSOD I have). I´m hoping to this BSOD to disappear.
