Thanks.

There seems to be a problem with
facap, FastAccess Video Capture ROOT\IMAGE\0000 This device is disabled.
Please enable it or fully uninstall the device.

Could I also ask about what time the BSODs started occuring? Gives me a better time period to work with, thanks.

There are a few errors with WebKit2WebProcess.exe, which is a process given by Apple - not sure where it's from, but try uninstalling or updating your Apple devices and software (iTunes, iOS, QuickTime, etc).

There are several drivers that could be causing problems:

SSPORT.sys Fri Aug 12 09:07:32 2005 (42FBDA34)
Samsung printer driver

teamviewervpn.sys Thu Dec 13 20:22:09 2007 (4760F9C1)

3 BSODs point to ntkrnlmp.exe and I'll get to that later.

ACPI.sys is signed by Microsoft - it monitors the power usage and will limit usage if temps get too high. If you also look at the FAILURE_BUCKET_ID, it points to SynTP, which is the Touchpad Driver for notebooks/laptops.

ntkrnlmp.exe problems have the message "WORKER_THREAD_RETURNED_AT_BAD_IRQL" -
[h=3]STOP Error 0x000000E1: WORKER_THREAD_RETURNED_AT_BAD_IRQL[/h]STOP error 0xE1 means that a worker thread completed and returned with IRQL >= DISPATCH_LEVEL. STOP code 0x000000E1 may also display
(IRQL stands for Interrupt ReQuest Level).

First: Try installing all the updates from Windows Update.
Second: Run McAfee Antivirus for a full scan.
Third: Run HDTune (Download Link in my signature)/Run Hard Drive Diagnostic Procedure.

Fourth: Run Driver Verifier - instructions -

Start typing verifier.exe into the start menu, and open Verifier.


2. Select "Create custom settings (for code developers)", and hit Next.


3. Make sure Standard settings, Force pending I/O requests, and IRP Logging are selected, and hit Next.


4. Select "Select driver names From a list", and hit Next.


5. Click on "Provider" at the top to sort the list by manufacturer; select all drivers not provided by Microsoft Corporation.


6. Press Next, and OK to the resulting window.


After a reboot, driver verifier should be enabled. Use your computer as you normally would, although expect frequent BSODs if there are driver issues. If the system doesn't crash after 24 hours, disable driver verifier.
 
In addition to General Hining's excellent advice, please update your Synaptics TouchPad driver due to this:
FAILURE_BUCKET_ID: X64_0x9F_3_SynTP_IMAGE_ACPI.sys

Please:
- download a fresh copy from the Drivers | Synaptics
- uninstall the current version from your system
- install the freshly downloaded version
- monitor for further BSOD's
 
So I've updated the USB 3.0 Host Controller Driver and am currently downloading the Synaptics update. They started happening a week ago. Maybe 10 days. I thought it might also be valuable to mention that when I open device manager, I have one unknown device in there. This link leads to a .zip file of screenshots of the unknown device. Thanks again for your help!
 
Looks like that could be a problem - right click the device and select "uninstall" - make sure to check the box "delete driver software" as well.
 
This is an accelerometer/drop sensor Download and install the software for it from the manufacturer's website.
It's listed here (if you scroll way, way down the page!): http://www.carrona.org/acpi.html
