CRITICAL_STRUCTURE and other BSODs

Hi,

I've had to deal with BSODs for ages, and every couple of months I try to find a source. I've used WinDbg on every dump that I've been able to generate and found little real information. Recently I thought I'd got lucky when I used Driver Verifier when it flagged both the SoftEther VPN and Avast driver, but soon after I got the CRITICAL STRUCTURE CORRUPTION BSOD.

I'm currently running verifier to try and force another BSOD out of the system in case there is a driver problem, but the issue has been there so long that I'm fairly certain it's a hardware problem. I tested the RAM with memtest86, no problem ever occurring during the time I had it running. The only other pair of RAM sticks I have are confirmed faulty, so not an option to swap.

I've replaced the motherboard 3 times over this computer's lifetime (which is about 5 years now) and this is the second CPU. The PSU was also replaced at one point, from a generic model to an OCZ. I have no reason to believe that there is not enough power supplied to the computer, as it's a 650W model with a single graphics card.

Below is my system collection:

P.S. Consider using environment variables to extrapolate the location of the desktop rather than hard-coding C:/Users/[user]/Desktop, as I have it stored on another drive and was annoying to find.

Thanks
