I have been getting 2-4 bluescreens a week for months now and I can't pinpoint the issue. I tested my HDD as well as my memory and both passed with no issues.

 

Here are my latest dump files, I'm hoping someone can head me in the right direction.

All but the newest one was called by the OS itself. this one tcpip.sys is a windows update issue. I would first suggest you do your windows updates and see if that alone will resolve your issue.
Next what did you use to test the hard drive and the memory.

I just got a watchdog bluescreen yesterday. I used memtest for the memory and seatools for the SSD. I will go ahead and run all my windows updates.

Found this on the watchdog violation error:

What causes DPC Watchdog Violations?

Several things can cause a DPC Watchdog Violation to be triggered in Windows 8. One of the most common is an SSD drive that has old firmware not supported by Windows 8. Another likely cause is an outdated driver for one of your hardware components. For example, if your sound card driver does not support Windows 8, simply plugging in a set of headphones could produce a DPC Watchdog Violation error. While not as common, software installations that affect your system software could also lead to DPC Watchdog Violations and the corresponding blue screen of death.

1st dump caused by EvilWithin.exe. I think Evil Within is a Steam game is it not?

2nd dump caused by AvastSvc.exe

3rd dump caused by WHEA_UNCORRECTABLE_ERROR (124). A fatal hardware error has occurred. GenuineIntel

4th by EvilWithin.exe agian

 

I would say Steam is the probable cause or the game Evil Within. Were you running any other Steam games when the BSODs happened?

Thanks mod I will check for firmware updates for my drive, I didn't even think to do that. 

 

Yes, that is a steam game and yes, I have got bluescreens with other games as well as while not playing any games at all. 

 

I have added my latest dump from the watchdog that I mentioned earlier.
