    Given the time in between, it probably would be best to follow the https://www.sevenforums.com/crashes-d...tructions.html and provide the full set of logs and reports.
    Ok so I re-ran the BSOD Dump & System File Collection app and zipped up the appropriate files. Hopefully this is the new report and not the old one since they were created in the same directory. Thanks a bunch

    Nothing in the latest crash report to indicate exactly what caused it. It is blaming memory_corruption, so it could be RAM problems at the root of it.
    • Run the boot version of Memtest86+ paying close attention to Parts 2 and 3 of the tutorial. Also, in case Memtest86+ misses anything and comes up with no errors, run the extended version of the Windows Memory Diagnostics Tool for at least five passes. These you may want to run overnight since they take a long time to complete (run them an hour before bed each of the next two nights and check before going to sleep that they are still running).

      For Part 3: If You Have Errors: If you swap any memory components, follow these steps for ESD safety:
      1. Shut down and turn off your computer.
      2. Unplug all power supplies to the computer (AC Power then battery for laptops, AC power for desktops)
      3. Hold down the power button for 30 seconds to close the circuit and ensure all power drains from components.
      4. Make sure you are grounded by using proper grounding techniques, i.e. work on an anti-static workbench, anti-static desk, or an anti-static pad. Hold something metallic while touching it to the anti-static surface, or use an anti-static wristband to attach to the anti-static material while working.

      Once these steps have been followed, it is safe to remove and replace components within your computer.
