Hello and welcome to SevenForums,

Your .dmp comes with bug check E1 and I see that you have McAfee antivirus (as well as MSE) installed. (Very common issue)

Start Menu\Programs\McAfee	Public:Start Menu\Programs\McAfee	Public

McAfee tends to and is a (known) cause to blue screens. I would suggest you to simply uninstall it with the McAfee Removal Tool - McAfee Uninstaller at least to test if you're still getting those BSOD-s. You're having the Best combination of MSE and MBAM (already)which is suggested by many members on our forum.

PS: Keeping 2 antiviruses on a computer would cause conflicts anyway.

Additional suggestions:

Run the System File Checker that scans the of all protected Windows 7 system files and replaces incorrect corrupted, changed/modified, or damaged versions with the correct versions if possible:

Free up the start-up, nothing except the antivirus is usually needed.

Run Disk Check on your hard disk for file system errors and bad sectors on it:

Hope that helps for now, good luck.

I have tried the suggestions above to no avail. I have attached the latest BSOD logs.
