Hello Hbd and welcome to Seven Forums.

I'm not a crash or blue screen expert. Assuming your Windows 7 installation media is either a retail OEM, genuine full install, or genuine upgrade install disk, I think it's doubful that this is a software problem as alluded to by the crash reports. My first guess is a bad memory module. It would help to know your system specs. (Click User CP on top menu > Edit System Spec left column.)

If you have multiple memory modules you could try removing all but slot # 1. Try running computer. If no problems noted, that module is probably good. Replace that module with another, run computer. Keep replacing modules in Slot # 1 and perhaps you'll find one (or more) that's causing the issues.
