Hello guys, I really need your help, I have exhausted everything else 
I have this PC configuration for about a year now and never or seldomly experienced bluescreen problems.
I installed plex media server a week ago or so to transcode and stream to my tablet and two days ago, I configured it correctly and enabled port forwarding on the router.
Yesterday, I streamed community to my tablet when around the 16minutes mark, playback stopped. The server (my PC) wasn't reachable anymore and I tried to turn on the monitors to see what was happening. The main monitor wouldn't get a signal and the second one showed the background photo it should but I couldn't bring the mouse over to it, so my guess is it froze.
Since yesterday, my PC randomly, between 5 and 45 minutes, just gets this bluescreen and reboots.
I googled a but and the problem seems to be my integrated network adapter, so I updated the driver to the very latest one, updated the BIOS, updated windows and Microsoft Security essentials run through everything. To no avail.
I am at the end of my knowledge and would love to use my computer again. Can you help me?
Thanks so much!

E: hope I did the dumping thing right, sorry if not
E2: So I put in a very old realtek Ethernet-card and reconfigured plex and everything works perfectly, no crashes. (Except no wake-on-lan support and much slower than the integrated atheros).
So it seems that it's really the integrated ethernet that causes the trouble, but no idea if hardware or software and no idea why it crashes this hard since yesterday.
