Dont install Intel Rapid Storage after the installation :)
Read over the steps again for a Clean Reinstall - Factory OEM Windows 7 to make sure you understand what's required to get a perfect install.
Following your advice, I did a clean install of windows, and made sure not to download the Intel Rapid Storage. Things were looking bright, until just now, when everything froze and crashed, requiring a hard reboot.
Please find attached the latest file.
No stress of a BSOD there ......
But we see one unexpected shutdown.
Follow it: Dump Files - Configure Windows to Create on BSOD
Go to Option Two, Point 2. Download the .reg file and merge it in registry by double clicking it.
Now wait for another BSOD. When it occurred, search the .dmp files manually in the default path: C:\Windows\Minidump or %SystemRoot%\Minidump. See if the crash dump is recorded or not (hopefully it will be recorded).Post it following the Blue Screen of Death (BSOD) Posting Instructions.
Thank you for your continued support. I have dump files already enabled, so I don't know why it isn't being written. I followed the thread you posted, and changed the file to a complete dump file. Hopefully that will work.
I"ll update again when I am able to grab the next dump file.
My computer crashed two more times, but both times I am unable to grab any dump files despite following the steps in the links you provided. The first time I had neglected to check "Automatically Restart", and I also increased the paging file size. The second time I manually went into regedit to change the dump file from a kernal dump to a complete dump file, and I changed the paging file size back to auto (and now total paging file size is over 8000MB for all drives). Any ideas from here?
Here's another SF diagnostic file minus the dump file--just in case it is of any use.
Also, I noticed there isn't a folder titled "Minidump" in my C:\Windows. Is this the cause of the issue? I've now manually created one...
Not an expert in bsods, but you can use Driver Verifier - Enable and Disable to find out what is causing the issue possibly/and or cause it to crash to get a dump.

Here is what happened when you tried to configure crash dumps .........
And then there was another abnormal shutdown.Event[4266]:

You need to configure the minidump recording. Then go for the Driver Verifier that Andrew is suggested.Event[4514]:
