Windows 10: Windows still crashing; memory/hardware issue?

I've had a series of technical problems over the past while which I've never been able to completely fixed, I'm hoping that I can get it sorted this time but I'm not sure what it can be at all. I've tried things like: reinstalling windows just did that, updating graphics drivers; Windows memory diagnostic came back as no problems and others. In a previous thread I made I was told to uninstall Bitdefender and I did so, but that did not fix the problem. Since I just very recently reinstalled windows, I only have 2 minidump files, which are linked here: https://1drv.ms/u/s!AnNvcrh-ZYFPiVzs_Eg

Memory issues

Thank you for updating us. We suggest that you run the Memory Diagnostics Tool, this is to check your system for memory problems. Follow the steps below:

• Open Control Panel and type memory in the search bar.
• Click on Diagnose computer memory problems to open it.
• If you're prompted for an administrator password or confirmation, type the password or provide confirmation.
  

Let us know the status of the issue.

 

all games crash!

I suggest you run rthdribl > http://www.daionet.gr.jp/~masa/archives/rthdribl_1_2.zip
Increase the window size step by step and watch your vga temps permanently.
What happens?
If it crashes, run at stock speeds as suggested before and retry.

P.S.: When your system locks, does the display signal turn off after a time?
Stuttering sound or no sound at all when freezing?

Chrome & Edge Tab Crashing (Memory Issues)

I am regular user of Chrome although I also use Edge too

For months, I was seeing Chrome tabs crash, and I did not even have as much as a half dozen open. Edge tabs would also crash when I occasionally used that browser.

I thought it was related to a dying HDD, so I replaced storage with a SSD (first time for this storage type for nearly 8-year old laptop)

And I am still seeing the crashing of Chrome tabs

Here's what's been done

• Chrome troubleshooting suggested pulling out extensions, not that I had very many anyway. The only extensions I have in now are Google's own: Application Launcher for Google Drive, Web Developer, and LastPass password manager. And extensions would not be an issue causing the tab crashes in Edge either.
• windows memory diagnostic: no errors results in Event Viewer
• sfc /scannow : no integrity violations found
• drivers: video adapter was the only recently needed update, which corrected major problems when SSD installed; all other drivers current
• Often, closing the browser and restarting it makes it work for a while, and then the symptoms appear again (memory leaking? no, couldn't be: we don't live in the mid-1990s using Windows 9x)

Another thing I have noticed: windows of all kinds, but sometimes just the tabs on the browser, can be unresponsive to mouse cursor clicking to bring window in focus. When I open the Task Manager, the ability of the mouse cursor to activate/focus windows/tabs is completely restored. I haven't figured that out yet, and it might be related to the browser memory issues.

It is an 8-year old laptop, but I have no indication that hardware is failing in any respect but the usual end of life on HDDs I have used in past.
