    Driver Verifier will only create a dump file on the event of a BSOD, and Driver Verifier will only create a BSOD on the event of a problem being detected with a driver. I would disable Driver Verifier now.

    Install Service Pack 1:

    Service Pack 1 has provided many security and stability updates for Windows 7, which would be highly beneficial for your system.

    Found this in the Event Log:

    There's quite a few of these errors in your Event Log, are you reading from a CD/DVD when the computer freezes? Have you tried disconnecting the CD/DVD drive from the motherboard and PSU?
    I had nothing in my CD/DVD drive when it froze its usually on idle or using Chrome.
    But its interesting as that i never thought that CD/DVD would have a problem.
    Im going to try that latter for a day or two to see what happens.

    Okay thanks, and it seems to be a failing CD/DVD drive.

    Well i guess this is a good time to replace my drive, thanks so much for the help.
    Im hoping this was the root cause so then this problem will never bother me.

    Welcome, and disconnect the CD/DVD drive first, and then use the computer as you normally would for a few days.

    I seem to be cursed or something since it crashed just a few minutes ago but the whole computer froze and hard to hard reset, no sound and all.
    Here are the logs.
    I imagine this is a rare occurrence

    Was the CD/DVD drive disconnected when this happened?

    There's quite a few failed Windows Updates, and services failing to start.
