Have been having problems for the past several weeks with desktop PC crashing multiple times. Have had it in to repair at a local PC shop, which made it crash less often, but still crashes. Some programs are also crashing regulalry. Looking to get input before I send it back on warranty.
Have had error codes like "PFN LIST CORRUPT" "REFERENCE BY POINTER", "Page Fault in non-paged area" "“IRQL NOT LESS OR EQUAL” "CLOCK WATCHDOG TIMEOUT" and many others which change most of the time it crashes. Rarely mentions which application has error, last one was NDIS.SYS.
Have done multiple disk checks (CHKDSK), system file check (SFC) and memory diagnostic. Only been found one hardware error during memory diagnostic, and one SFC error, but after repair there has been none.
Have run multiple virus and malware scans with no results. Done deep scan of SSD.
The repair was mostly updating drivers, removing malware files that was in anti-virus quarantine and turning off ECC on memory (this was probably what triggered error on mem check). My RAM and motherboard dont support ECC, so they just turned it off. They couldn't find any hardware errors.
One relevant thing to mention, last year I upgraded the memory from 16GB to 32GB (from 2 sticks to 4), and changed the hard drive to an SSD, Have been no problems with until now. Only recent program I installed before first crash was HALO MCC.
Link for zip files from dump to analyse, one from very first crash and the latest one.

Best guess I so far have is that there is a bad spot in the hardware, either in RAM, GPU or SSD. Or possibly a driver install gone wrong, but cant find out which one.
Any help and input is appreciated. Will give more info when requested.
