--------- Your crash dumps are not showing any finite probable cause. In such a situation, it is better to enable Driver Verifier to monitor the drivers. Driver Verifier - Enable and Disable Run Driver Verifier for 24 hours or the occurrence of the next crash, whichever is earlier.  Information Why Driver Verifier:
It puts a stress on the drivers, ans so it makes the unstable drivers crash. Hopefully the driver that crashes is recorded in the memory dump. How Can we know that DV is enabled:
It will make the system bit of slow, laggy.  Warning Before enabling DV, make it sure that you have earlier System restore points made in your computer. You can check it easily by using CCleaner looking at Tools > System Restore.
If there is no points, make a System Restore Point manually before enabling DV.

--------- So the root of the problem is in somewhere else.
A virus scanner amy sometimes cause such a situation. Uninstall Kaspersky using Kaspersky Removal Tool. Use Microsoft Security Essentials as your antivirus with windows inbuilt firewall, and free MBAM as the on demand scanner.
Download and install those, and then run full system scans with both of them, one by one.
Test your RAM modules for possible errors. How to Test and Diagnose RAM Issues with Memtest86+
Run memtest for at least 8 passes, preferably overnight.
Stress test the Graphics Card using Furmark. Video Card - Stress Test with Furmark
Stress test the CPU. Hardware - Stress Test With Prime95

I have run the virus/malware checks and they've come up with a few things detected, however, they wre just a few programs and were perfectly safe.
Then I proceeded to do the ram check, it came back with 13 errors, I've attatched a picture of it.
I have not yet run the GPU and CPU checks, should I or should I just change the ram stick?
