Blue Screen of Death - From the deep levels of hell

Question

I have the worst BSOD I have ever seen. The biggest problem here is that it's intermittent. The BSOD happens a couple times per day The system is totally fine in between. There is no specific event or task that triggers it, seems to be completely random. The error, driver, and parameters are different every time.

This has been going on for weeks. Here are the items tested so far:

Motherboard - swapped
Processor - swapped
Memory - new
Harddrive - new
All USB (except k/m) disabled.
OS reinstalled
Non-essential services disabled.
BSOD occurs in safe mode
Video card - swapped
All temp/fans working and within range

This is a Windows 7 machine - Intel chip, ASUS board.

Here are a few of the most recent BSOD logs:

Changed per superuser question on how this differs from a general question about bsod's

Are you installing the correct drivers for the graphics card? Some of your BSOD logs say the culprit is atikmdag.sys which is your graphics card. If it is an onboard graphics card then go to your motherboards manufacturer site and get the driver from there. — ojs, Sep 28 '15 at 21:54
Did you reinstall the same programs and OS from the same sources? Possibly a corrupt install of something that doesn't verify file integrity? — Damon, Sep 29 '15 at 04:20
Are you sure the power supply is stable ? That seems to be the only thing that isn't swapped. And you state the RAM is new. That doesn't mean it is guaranteed to be OK. Try memtest86+ to test that properly. — Tonny, Sep 28 '15 at 15:00
Sorry, forgot to mention the power supply is also new.
Ran the Memtest as well, nothing found. — user129208, Sep 28 '15 at 15:05
@user129208 In that case it is a real mystery... Strong radio-transmitter nearby ? Heavy equipment that might case bursts of electro-magnetic interference ? Is the power-supply connected to a grounded wall-outlet ? — Tonny, Sep 28 '15 at 15:22
No radio transmitter.
Machine is powered through a UPS and fully grounded. — user129208, Sep 28 '15 at 16:49

PAGE_FAULT_IN_NONPAGED_AREA, MEMORY_MANAGEMENT and PFN_LIST_CORRUPT are all most certainly RAM problems, new sticks can still be defective, it's actually quite common.

You can run MEMTEST, try removing all RAM sticks except 1 at a time to figure out which one (or more) is the culprit. Or simply request a replacement from the retailer.
