Hello Anthony, it's not everyday we see active SF'ers here at our sub-forum!

Concerns
- Running processes
- Audiodg.exe's information is not available (n/a), which makes me wonder. I see you're using Realtek, so I'd recommend you to do a clean install of it, using the tutorial I'll post.
- Direct-X was mentioned in the dump, though there weren't any Graphic driver references which is quite rare. To be on the safe side, download Direct-X below and afterwards follow the tutorial below on doing a secure clean install on your Graphic driver.

i) Make your way to Realtek - Downloads
ii) Uninstall the Realtek driver you currently have and all its extensions
iii) Download Driver Sweeper

vi) Clean them, head into Windows without internet and install the driver you downloaded previously
i) Make your way to Nvidia Drivers - Download NVIDIA Drivers and download the latest driver for your card, save it to your desktop for instance.

Summary
Memory // RAM // Test
Looking at your bugcheck it's likely that a memory corruption event was triggered. Though a driver could be causing the memory to be borked, but we're usually suggesting a memory test before moving forward. Do a scan with Memtest86+. Memtest is a scanner that'll check your sticks for errors.
WarningNote that the below instructions may break your WARRANTY rules. If you're unsure check manuals, separated warranty papers, stickers on computer for secure permission.
To ensure that we'll know if it's the slots on the motherboard that's broken, or the sticks itself - we have a little procedure we'll recommend. Remove 1 stick, scan the other with Memtest in the current slot. After 7 passes, move the stick to another slot and scan, and so on and so forth until you've scanned all the sticks, and all the slots, one by one.

Some common problems are exception code 0x80000003. This means a hard coded breakpoint or assertion was hit, but this system was booted /NODEBUG. This is not supposed to happen as developers should never have hardcoded breakpoints in retail code, but ... If this happens, make sure a debugger gets connected, and the system is booted /DEBUG.

Well that's weired in my quest to fix the issue, I just updated all those files, before I posted here. DirectX Realtek Audio driver and my nvidia gfx driver....
Oh Well, I will do a Clean Install of those drivers etc, see what happens.
Thanks very much for your time Frederik
Take Care
Thanks Frede, Just an update. I have done a clean install of the OS and still getting the errors, I have narrowed it down to either the memory or the SSD.
Time to test the hardware which I was trying to avoid
Thanks again for your time Frede, I owe you one
Oh alright. Did you get any errors on the Memtest86+?
Also make sure that your SSD firmware is up-to-date. It's usually causing BSODs.
Best Regards,
Frederik.
Anthony,
Have you tried booting into SAFE MODE? Yes/No
Your problem is not necessarily hardware.
Be sure and once again:
Blue Screen of Death (BSOD) Posting Instructions
You might be able to enter safe mode as karlsnooks said. 3rd party driver might bug your Windows. It's definitely worth trying a scan with Malwarebytes to ensure that either worms, or malware ain't causing your computer to crash.

Thank you for updating us!
Best Regards,
Frederik.
Thanks guys for your input, I just pulled a stick of 4gb of memory and so far so good, everything seems to be a bit more responsive, Just played a game without a hictch!! Will keep testing though. I will test again with that 4gb I just pulled, just to be sure it is that stick of ram.
Thanks again guys
You're certainly welcome Anthony!
Good call on the troubleshooting step you did, sometimes it might only be one single stick.
Best Regards,
Frederik.
