let me know how your sleuthing goes, with DV running it's blue-screened twice, hoping to get half a dozen or so before I post the results for analysis

Two will be enough. Disable DV first, then post it following the Blue Screen of Death (BSOD) Posting Instructions.
If needed, we will suggest for DV later again.
Thanks!
The BSODs are caused by AMD/ATI display driver.
and the driver is kinda old.Code:fffff880`07d0e538 fffff880`0494efa7Unable to load image \SystemRoot\system32\DRIVERS\atikmdag.sys, Win32 error 0n2 *** WARNING: Unable to verify timestamp for atikmdag.sys *** ERROR: Module load completed but symbols could not be loaded for atikmdag.sys atikmdag+0xe1fa7

You can get it from the link in our forum, Latest AMD Catalyst Video Driver for Windows 7, or you may go to AMD Graphics Driver and Software and opt for Automatically Detect and Install the appropriate driver for your card.
During installation, you may opt for advanced installation, and install the display driver only, not the Catalyst Control Center.
Also, as a test, test your RAM modules for possible errors.

Run memtest for at least 8 passes, preferably overnight.
And Stress test the Graphics Card using Furmark.
Video Card - Stress Test with Furmark
Let us know the results.
Ok, driver updated. I used the Catalyst software, according to the log it created, it installed vers. 9.012.0.0000
I'll start in on the stress tests now
Thanks!
System seems to be much more stable, had a bsod overnight while the computer sat unattended (no stress tests or anything going on). In addition to the dump files I am attaching, I noticed that on restart an automatic update from Windows had occurred so I thought I would include those details also:

Usual causes: Disk corruption, insufficient physical memory, Device driver, Indexing, Resident antivirus, backup, defrag programs, Disk/Drive failing/failure
Your physical memory is more than sufficient.
No code has to be inserted here.
So it should not be the problem. Still, for being sure, test your RAM modules for possible errors.
How to Test and Diagnose RAM Issues with Memtest86+
Run memtest for at least 8 passes, preferably overnight.
The device drivers you use to control the storage are all the system drivers. So they should not fail,.
No code has to be inserted here.
For a safety reason, run SFC /SCANNOW Command - System File Checker. If any of those drivers are corrupt, the scan will attempt to repair those.
Disable indexing.
Your Antivirus is MSE. it is not the problem as it can be expected.
If you have any backup or defraging program installed, uninstall those.
Test the 2 TB HDD with Toshiba HDD Diagnostic Tools.
Try to change the SATA cables. Also try to change the ports to connect the SATA cables. Use the unused ports.
If still the problems exist, we have only two things to blame.
Thank you for the quick reply. I ran the SFC /SCANNOW Command - System File Checker and it detected no problems. I Disabled indexing as instructed. I don't have any 3rd party backup or defragging programs installed, so no worries there.
When I went to the link noted above, I downloaded the 1st utility, Windows Diagnostic Tool Ver. 1.12
(For IDE/ATA/SATA Hard Drives). Interestingly, when I ran it (as Administrator), I would get the user interface as pictured below:
however, it would not allow me to 'select' the hard drive to check it, I could click anywhere and it wouldn't highlite the drive, add a check mark or whatever Toshiba does to indicate the drive is selected. Clicking Short Test or Extended Test would result in
I'm sure I'm doing something wrong but I can't figure out what that is. While I was fussing with that I got another BSOD, I have attached the info.
You cannot select the Toshiba HDD? Try Seatool for dos: SeaTools | Seagate download. Burn it in a blank cd. boot from the CD, click on "Accept", wait for it to finish detecting the drives, then in the upper left corner select "Basic Tests", then select "Long Test" and let it run. Seatools run on every HDD.
Also, as a test only .... uninstall MSE and use Avast free. It might be causing the fltmgr error.
