Frequent BSOD, Memory Management, Page Fault, Driver IRQL, etc..

There were two BSODs while verifier was running, and those both happened while trying to start the computer in safe mode.

To answer Koolkat's inquiry about the CompositeBus.sys item she found, CompositeBus.sys is the Multi-Transport Composite Bus Enumerator - kinda odd that it's named that since Multi-Transport and Composite are synonymous so it's redundant (like called a car "quick and fast"). Anyways, it's designed for external devices that interface with the system in more than one way. An example is a camera that connects either via Bluetooth or USB, or an external drive that uses eSATA or USB. Windows 7 apparently tries to resolve an issue with device recognition by using this driver, since there's times when there could be conflicts (see this article).

It's unfortunate this minidump failed to store the IRP related to this crashing thread, since that will give us a good solid amount of clues to what device we're actually dealing with here. Nothing else we can go on with this little of info. It's evident though when looking at the callstack that it involved just starting up the device (must've been recently hooked or during Windows startup it's now this device's turn to initialize).

I'm personally curious on the other crashdumps, like the two that crashed during NTFS ops, and one of them involving a single bit of code in RAM getting corrupted. I'd recommend the client do the usual Memtest run for 7+ hours and follow that up with all basic Seatools tests besides the Long Generic, and disconnect any external device besides keyboard and mouse. May wanna run Seatools in DOS, which will mean putting it on a USB drive or a CD/DVD.

Update:

I ran memtest on all of the RAM sticks individually with no errors. The hard drive passed the Seatools tests. Also haven't had a BSOD for a while. Anything else I can try?

Thanks for the responses.

You may wanna be leery of any USB or other external device you connect to your system. Find software/firmware updates for em if available to ensure that everything's ok. Otherwise, guess we'll just have to wait in case it bugs out again.
