Heat:
- only use the laptop on a hard surface - with nothing blocking any of the vents.
- use a laptop cooling pad if possible
- blow out all vents with canned air (DO NOT use a vacuum cleaner or an air compressor, they can damage the components).
- ensure that the fan comes on and is blowing air out of the vent (may not happen at startup, but should happen after using it for a while).
If you suspect memory, try these free diagnostics:
Hardware Diags
If you reinstall Windows to fix a problem, and the problem remains - then it's most likely that this is a hardware problem. The diagnostics will help to rule out some of that.
I notice a Hotspot Shield network component. We've seen issues with this program recently. I'd suggest uninstalling it to test and see if it's the cause of the BSOD's.
Memory dumps blame hardware, with one blaming your video hardware.
Update the video drivers from the PC manufacturer's website (yours date from 2009).
If problems continue, then run the video tests from the hardware diagnostics link above.
Uninstall SpeedFan - one of it's drivers dates from 1996!
Update drivers for your Media Card reader - they date from 2008
Your CIR (Infrared) device drivers date from 2007 - please update them also.

The following info is just FYI, I've already addressed the issues that I saw in the above paragraphs
