The dump showed a driver from Akamai but the problem MAY have been caused by Pando, a known system crasher. But so is Akamai. iTunes is another that may cause problems. Perhaps not in itself but what it allows on your system. Apple uses iTunes to sell your system resources (CPU, Disk, Network) to third party vendors. Yes, they are making money off of your system. This occurs when the system is idle and especially if left on over night. That may be where you got Pando and Akamai. (And no telling what else.)
Once you have a stable system, there's a few AV scanners and system/component checkers I'd like you to run. For now, let's concentrate on a stable OS.

I see.
I've removed Pando and will try playing for some hours today and during the weekend. I'll come back on Monday and tell you if it froze yet. But that's what happened to me before than a week later, it froze again. We'll have to wait and see.
If uninstalling Pando works after all, do I have to keep Akami Netsession?
The dump was actually pointing to Akamai; However, Pando is such a risk to stability and memory corruption (faulty programming) I just picked that one first. How is it going so far?
Have you added back any of the Start Ups through msconfig?
Run SFC /scannow just to make sure system files aren't corrupt.
Download and run Emsisoft Emergency Kit. It's a free standalone set of programs so there's no install. It can even be run from a USB drive. EEK AV scanner will update signatures before it does the scan but it's pretty quick.
Leave this thread unsolved until you're comfortable. I'll stay subscribed. If you get any new BSODs, rerun and upload the dump and file capture so we have a fresh status of the system.
Hold for a moment. It may have been installed by another program you installed. Open Programs and Features from the Control Panel. Click on the Installed On column header to sort them. Find Akamai and check any software installed on the same date. See if it was installed on the same date as iTunes.
