Backstory
Starting on March 14th, 2016 I started receiving BSODs when cold booting my system. Prior to this I had not made any hardware changes to my system or ever experienced a BSOD. I initially thought it was tied to these Windows updates:
However that doesn't appear to be the case after further testing.
Steps to reproduce:
1.) Shutdown computer for extended period of time - example: Overnight (8 hours)
2.) Turn computer on (Cold boot)
3.) After booting into Windows - don't do much - examples: Let computer sit idle or open Chrome browser
4.) BSOD
Crash Dump Analysis
I did run Driver Verifier for a few tests, so those results can probably be ignored.

Troubleshooting Steps Taken With No Effect
Uninstalled Windows updates mentioned above - later reinstalled since error persisted
Rolled back and updated BIOS to various versions
Made sure not Overclocking or XMP enabled (wasn't doing this prior to BSOD)
Rolled back and updated Intel NIC driver to various versions
Uninstalled: Networx, Unified Remote Server, NVIDIA drivers, Sound Card drivers, Logitech gaming software, all MSI software - since reinstalled since they don't appear to be the cause
Ran memtest86 overnight for 8+ hours (no errors found)
SFC /scanow (no errors found)
CHKDSK (no errors found)
Next Steps?
Wipe HD and perform clean install of Windows 7
Purchase all-new RAM modules
I'm at crossroads if this is a hardware issue (RAM) or a software issue. The symptoms of only occurring after a cold boot now has me thinking hardware.
