    Run an sfc/scannow command in an elevated command prompt. If errors are found, run it twice more with each scan followed by a reboot.
    SFC /SCANNOW Command - System File Checker

    Test your RAM using Memtest86+. Let it run until 6-8 passes have completed or errors have been found.
    RAM - Test with Memtest86+

    Enable Driver Verifier. Enabling this should hopefully crash your system and then point to the faulty driver that is causing problems. However before you do, it is advised that you create a system restore point and backup first.
    Driver Verifier - Enable and Disable

    The following drivers need to be updated:

    Code:
    amdxata.sys  Wed May 20 03:56:59 2009
    These drivers can be found by searching them in Google and then finding the associated software or driver. Finally, find the latest version of this driver or software and download and install it.

    You should also update any other drivers you can think of including graphics, audio, chipset etc.

    What anti-virus are you currently using?

    These two dumps are similar to the previous ones. Post back with your Memtest results.
