Hi,
I found this in your dump file:
DISK_HARDWARE_ERROR: There was error with disk hardware
Also looking at the images you supplied above I would say that your main drive has too much data on it for it to work effectively. If thats the drive that Windows runs from then ideally you want to leave at least 25% of the drive free of data. This is to allow stuff like pagefiles and the like room to work correctly.
So try and move as much as you can to the other drive, it may also help to run a SFC scan too.
Open an admin command prompt (right click on command prompt and run as administrator), Type
sfc /scannow
Press enter and let the scan cycle through.
If after making the above changes you still experience problems try running a chkdsk, this guide will explain how:
