I own an Asus n56vz running windows 8 (I have now updated it to windows 8.1)
With an Intel i7-3630QM CPU
16 Gb Ram
About the graphic card, I'm not really sure i completely get it; i have both an Intel HD Graphics 4000 (2Gb RAM) and an Nvidia GeForce GT 650M (1 Gb RAM)
I don't know what other informations can be necessary

So I mostly use this computer to work, and it's running fine, however, when I'm not at home (where i have a tower on which i play), I also use it to play (mostly league of legends). The problem is that rather often, my computer crashes and i get a BSOD in the middle of my games; they're not always the same, though i mostly get DPC_Watchdog_Violation or IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL. Now it's understandable that a laptop cannot run everything a tower can, but i also believe that league of legends is not a really demanding game. So I would like to know if there is something i can do to fix this issue, or if I should just forget playing on this laptop.

The laptop had 'built in' a video to just 'display' things (Word, web pages, etc.) that would be the Intel 4000. When evoking 'graphics' like AutoCAD or Games, then the 650M kicks in.

Now these BSODs (including the new 'cute' watchdog) sounds like a driver is not up to date, but can be any number of things. So the basics:
go to www.filehippo.com and download / install AVAST! or AVG and have them to a FULL SCAN of your computer.
If you have Microsoft Security Essentials (MSE) that is garbage and you need to uninstall it first
downloaded and run MALWAREBYTES to run a full scan and clean the PC
Download Slim Driver and make sure all drivers are up to date.
Download SPECCY and post the first tab here, this will give us also you IDLE temp...

Download install MSI Afterburner, then run LoL, keep an eye on the temp and if you do crash, what was the temp?

Ok so I did as told
Avast didn't find anything
Malwarebytes found a few PUPs that i got rid of
I updated alll my drivers
Here is The first tab from Speccy

Operating System
Windows 8.1 64-bit
CPU
Intel Core i7 3630QM @ 2.40GHz 55 °C
Ivy Bridge 22nm Technology
RAM
16.0GB Dual-Channel DDR3 @ 798MHz (11-11-11-28)
Motherboard
ASUSTeK COMPUTER INC. N56VZ (SOCKET 0) 56 °C
Graphics
Generic PnP Monitor (1920x1080@60Hz)
Intel HD Graphics 4000 (ASUStek Computer Inc)
4095MB NVIDIA GeForce GT 650M (ASUStek Computer Inc) 47 °C
Storage
931GB Seagate ST1000LM024 HN-M101MBB (SATA) 43 °C
7GB SD Card (USB)
Optical Drives
MATSHITABD-MLT U
Audio
Realtek High Definition Audio

So I've played a few games and my computer hasn't BSODd so far, with MSI afterburner giving me a max temp of 77°C, that stays around 74°C fo the most part.
