I would definitely get on the phone with support from the manufacturer of the laptop! Sometimes when new computers are released to market there will be one thing wrong with many of that model. They might have more people experiencing this issue and already have a fix for it.

When a system blue screens it creates a dump file. Download the debugging utility from Microsoft and run it against this dump file and you should get an idea. More often then not it is a hardware issue.

This error (a KERNEL_DATA_INPAGE_ERROR) may be due to an incorrectly configured hard drive or I/O controller (PATA or SATA). Specifically, if the HDD is set as a slave (subordinate for those Californians among us) device but is the only device on the active channel, OR if a primary SATA drive is connected to a channel designated as a master channel, this error may appear.

If this was a desktop system, you might want to attempt the solution by yourself; but as Technochic stated, this is an issue which should be addressed by the notebook manufacturer…
