Yeah well my laptop was bought new and included Windows 8. If there are any driver errors, its not on me. It's on the Windows Updates or something. I'm computer literate. I'm know more than most so I only download official, final drivers. No beta. Most if not all are automaticlly updated.

If you were computer literate than you'd know whether or not the BSOD was due to a driver, a registry corruption, or a corrupt file already. Not only that, but you'd know how to search for your specific BSOD error.
Secondly, you'd go to the support site for your laptop and verify you have the most recent drivers available from them, or the latest BIOS update.

I have all the latest bios and driver updates. All I really saw was the the error as called Blue Screen or something like that. Since my computer pretty much works fine, I didn't really feel the need to research it further....I have a job and i have a backlog of games. Thanks for your....."concern".

"Although the common BSOD reports on my Windows 8 laptop are alarming."
Got it. So, for you, common is once.
So as a "computer literate" person, you didn't go into the Event Log and check to see what event caused it? I mean, if I got a BSOD, I would be checking out what the error message was, and checking it out against sources online.

Nope. It happened more than once although spread out across several months. Like I said before, this is a new laptop so I'm not worried there is something major wrong with it. But it is alarming since I've never really gotten a blue screen on windows 7 or even vista. I actually have the time to research this right now and it seems to be some Kernel Power error. Sounds like I might have a faulty battery, but these blue screens don't happen while my computer is in use, they usually happen when I put it in sleep mode.
