Random crashes and freezes

I have had several instances of crashes (although only a couple of BSOD, mostly the system self re-boots) and also freezes, where the system simply stops responding. The odd thing is that the system will stop responding to any input, but I see the hard drive light flashing now and again, so IT is still active. CTL+ALT DEL brings up an error message after about a 2 min wait, and I cannot access the Task Manager.

Yesterday, I logged in to find my background picture missing, and my background was black. I rebooted to find it the same. I opened Chrome to research the problem and after a couple of minutes the background was back to normal.

I have run Avast and Malwarebites, all issues cleaned before the latest issues.

I have attached the dump files.

MORE crashes

Ok, I have had several more crashes. Twice I have found a message that "Windows has recovered from an error" and once I found the log in screen at 800 x 600 resolution with an error message showing. I could not copy the message. I have run the two tools suggested and attached the zips.

PLEASE someone give me a hint as to why my machine keeps crashing and locking up!

Thanks

Thanks. FYI, when I got home from work, the computer was off. I had left it on. There was no message about a problem or crash, but my Video managment software had reset to an earlier version. I use eVGA Precision X. It reset to a version from 2013 and new versions come out several times a year. I did not update it again.

Try upgrading the BIOS if that dosen't work then you need to replace the motherboard.

Can you give me an explanation of what led you to that conclusion? What the problem is?
