Hello Medic, welcome to SF!

You've lots of dmps... I haven't the time yet to check them all but a recent one struck me as I don't see it often. Quote copied below for future reference.

Lets try:

1. Does it crash if you run in Safe Mode. It's a bummer to do, I know, but helps as in a quick check if it is HW and/or basic Windows 7 drivers.

2. If no problem in Safe Mode: SFC /SCANNOW Command - System File Checker

Post back with results... next step is a lot of testing...of hw.

CRITICAL_STRUCTURE_CORRUPTION (109)
This bugcheck is generated when the kernel detects that critical kernel code or
data have been corrupted. There are generally three causes for a corruption:
1) A driver has inadvertently or deliberately modified critical kernel code
 or data. See http://www.microsoft.com/whdc/driver/kernel/64bitPatching.mspx
2) A developer attempted to set a normal kernel breakpoint using a kernel
 debugger that was not attached when the system was booted. Normal breakpoints,
 "bp", can only be set if the debugger is attached at boot time. Hardware
 breakpoints, "ba", can be set at any time.
3) A hardware corruption occurred, e.g. failing RAM holding kernel code or data.
Arguments:

Arg3: fffff800028fb5d0, Failure type dependent information
Arg4: 0000000000000001, Type of corrupted region, can be
	0 : A generic data region
	1 : Modification of a function or .pdata
	2 : A processor IDT
	3 : A processor GDT
	4 : Type 1 process list corruption
	5 : Type 2 process list corruption
	6 : Debug routine modification
