DPC Watchdog Error

Question

I got a DPC watchdog BSOD on my fairly new laptop. I have Win 8 on the host machine, and VMWare running on an external SSD with Win 7. I run nothing on the Win 8 machine other than VMWare.
I saved the dump file which I've uploaded. unfortunately the anti-spam is not allowing me to post the link so I'll have to resort to showing it in pieces.
Protocol: https followed by colon slash slash
Server: skydrive.live.com followed by slash
Request: redir followed by question mark
Query: resid=93FB9BB36FEFB0AA!106&authkey=!AJdhZ_mSxN_LUwE
After I clicked OK it rebooted the Win 8 host, and then it said it was configuring windows updates! Though, nothing shows up for today in the Win 8 Update log.
Recent activity on this machine:
installed and then removed Skype on host
Updated recommended drivers from Samsung
A windows update failed on the 19th and then was successful on the 20th

You could upload it to Skydrive (or another file sharing service) and give us a link to it
 We do need the actual DMP file as it contains the only record of the sequence of events leading up to the crash, what drivers
were loaded, and what was responsible.
You may be able to get the DMP files without crashing by booting into safe mode (F8) with networking.
If you are overclocking stop.  (chances are if you dont know if you are, you are not)a
To enable us to assist you with your computer's BSOD symptoms, upload the contents of your "\Windows\Minidump" folder.
The procedure:
* Copy the contents of \Windows\Minidump to another (temporary) location somewhere on your machine.
* Zip up the copy.
* Attach the ZIP archive to your post using the "paperclip" (file attachments) button. (if available on  your site, MS doesnt have this)
 *Please upload them to a file sharing service like Skydrive or"Rapidshare" and put a link to them in your reply.
Link for how to  upload below.

To ensure minidumps are enabled:
* Go to Start, in the Search Box type: sysdm.cpl, press Enter.
* Under the Advanced tab, click on the Startup and Recovery Settings... button.
* Ensure that Automatically restart is unchecked.
* Under the Write Debugging Information header select Small memory dump (256 kB) in the dropdown box (the 256kb varies).
* Ensure that the Small Dump Directory is listed as %systemroot%\Minidump.
* OK your way out.
* Reboot if changes have been made.
Please also run MSinfo32 and upload the output as well.
To run MSinfo32 please go to start>run>MSinfo32
Go to "file" "save" and upload the saved file with the DMPS
