    I got a used Razer Blade and it's not off to a good start. I used the recovery partition to reformat the Blade and it was constantly giving me that BSOD error during normal use trying to install programs. I tried updating all the drivers and it was still giving me that error mostly because it would freeze while installing. So I did windows updates and tried to upgrade to 8.1 and that was a no go.

    Then I did a fresh install of windows 8 pro. I downloaded all the drivers from razers websites. That was working okay. Then I went to update the nvidia drivers and it never installs. It just freezes. I upgraded to 8.1 since it was using the windows nvidia drivers and working okay. Once I upgraded to 8.1, I again, updated all the drivers to 8.1 which was only a couple of them. I am still getting this error.

    Everything in the device manager is installed. I can't figure out what driver is crashing. The laptop is mostly fine until I go to install programs. Then it runs into problems. It can be pretty random too though. I think it's nvidia driver problems but I can't get them to install without it crashing. So i'm stuck using the windows one's. I tried using the razer one's for 8.1, but that crashes too. I'm at a loss now.

    Any help would be greatly appreciated.
