BSOD, freezes etc.

Hey. I am pretty desperate right now, with only three days to a big exam. And that's why I'm making this post.

I bought this laptop in dec. 2013. Model is Lenovo Ideapad Y410P.
Specs:
Windows 8.1 64-bit
4th Generation Intel Core i7-4700MQ Processor (2.40GHz 1600MHz 6MB)
8.0GB PC3-12800 DDR3L SDRAM 1600 MHz
NVIDIA GeForce GT755M GDDR5 2GB
1TB 5400 RPM+24GB SSD
Intel Wireless-N 7260 (802.11bgn)

After a while, completely out of the blue, i get a BSOD. I try pretty much everything to get it booting, and eventually it boots when i enter boot menu and boot from windows startup manager. By this point, i had already tried reinstalling windows.

Now that it's booted, it keeps showing "no bootable drive found" when I start the laptop. So the only way to get it working is repeating what i described above - every time. It also freezes pretty much every 10 minutes, and is frozen for the next 5-10 mins. Often, explorer.exe and other windows apps like taskmanager, device manager etc. will freeze, while chrome usually works. The weird thing though is that web pages don't load. I can open a tab, enter a web address, and the loading wheel starts spinning, but nothing happens. Also, I had an installer open during one freeze, and the green bar was frozen, but the install was complete when it unfroze, so it was working on that during the freeze.

I also have an unknown device in device manager, and found it to be this one: pcidatabase <dot> com/vendor_details.php?id=1314
Googling for drivers renders no results, but I am currently installing all avaliable drivers from lenovos homepage. 

BIOS version is according to lenovo not possible to upgrade, and is always latest version. (Dont know how that happens)

Before reinstalling, I took out the HDD, and copied all files to a stick. I scanned the drive, and its health is excellent. I have a hybrid drive, with two partitions. OS is on the HDD, so is startup.

Event viewer shows two critical events, logged in at the exact time when one of the freezes ended. Event is Event 10110, DriverFrameworks-UserMode.

Please let me know if there is more information I should include, and I would really appreciate any help!

EDIT: Adding some more from event viewer.

EDIT 2:

I suspect that the the drive (maybe partitioning) is at fault. I have tried to open disk management, but it's stuck at waiting for virtual disk service. The vds is not working as it should either, and after trying to stop it, it's stuck in stopping. taskkill /f command says it's not running, while sc start vds say's there's already an instance of it running. sc queryeq vds command says it's stopping.

1. Analyze minidump file with WinDBG or at least view it with Nirsoft BSOD viewer. This will give you information needed to track the cause.

2. I do recommend to check your system with sfc /scannow (Analyz resulting log file.)

3. Sometimes returning to previous version may help. To return or nor depends on result of 1 and 2.

Since I have only experienced one BSOD, and reinstalled after that, I dont have any dump files.

The sfc /scannow returned no errors. Would you like me to upload the logfile?

EDIT: I checked the logfile, not a single one error was found(!)
