I've been running the Memtest all night long, 0 errors..
And it has passed more than 10 passes.

The dumps are still pointing to hardware issues; but, at least, you have eliminated memory. The error codes still point to memory corruption; but that does not necessarily mean your RAM is bad. Driver conflicts, for example, can cause memory corruption.
In the first dump, Windows Media Player Sharing was running at the time of the crash; in the second, Itunes Helper was running, in the third, Firefox; and in the latest dump, Skype was running.
What antivirus program are you using and what firewall are you running?STOP 0x0000008E: KERNEL_MODE_EXCEPTION_NOT_HANDLED
Usual causes: Insufficient disk space, Device driver, Video card, BIOS, Breakpoint in startup without having a debugger attached, Hardware incompatibility, Faulty system service, 3rd party remote control, Memory
STOP 0x0000000A: IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL
Usual causes: Kernel mode driver, System Service, BIOS, Windows, Virus scanner, Backup tool, compatibility
STOP 0x00000050: PAGE_FAULT_IN_NONPAGED_AREA
Usual causes: Defective hardware (particularly memory - but not just RAM), Faulty system service, Antivirus, Device driver, NTFS corruption, BIOS
STOP 0x0000001A: MEMORY_MANAGEMENT
Usual causes: Device driver, memory, kernel

I am running Eset NOD32 Antivirus. And about the firewall, I'm pretty sure that is the standard one.
Hi emperact
Third party anti-virus program are notorious cause for bsods and yours is not exception. Would you be willing to uninstall your anti-virus program just for testing purpose only!!! you can always re-install it if it's not the cause
Let us know how it goes

Of course, I'll try it right away. But isn't my computer then exposed for virus and malware etc?
Welcome
You can install MSE, Microsoft Security Essentials. As a side note, I suggest that you keep and use that rather than your present anti Virus.
http://www.microsoft.com/Security_Essentials/
Made specifically for windows, free, and known not to cause BSOD
If you want to keep your own, start with a system restore point.
How you doing, TTran?
Install Microsoft Security Essentials .. its free and does an excellent job, then see if your computer still crashes.. MSE Download
The advice from ttran, rich, and Tews is spot on. That is why I asked the question about your antivirus program. Eset is known to cause crashes on some systems. Try running without it (using MSE) and see if that eliminates the problem.
Thank you guys, I'll try it right away. The funny thing is, that after I took the Memtest, I haven't had a BSOD since 2 days ago. But I will try the MSE.
The best part of MSE, since it was made specifically for Windows, by Microsoft, it has not been the cause of one BSOD that I have seen, its free and works great.
