Yesterday I shut down my computer, and when I booted it back up, it BSOD'd after the black windows loading screen saying "Paged Fault in Non-paged Area", and sometimes "win32k.sys" as well which as I understand is a rather general error for loading something erroneous to the memory. After much troubleshooting, I still can't get past that damn BSOD or even figure out what the real problem is!
Here's what I've found thusfar, but I'm still stumped:
1) Can't boot past win logo, whether it's normal mode, safe mode, or any other variation without arriving at the same BSOD. Windows repair from DVD doesn't do anything helpful
2) BSODviewer's analysis of the minidumps have red highlights on "dump_pciidex.sys" and "ntoskrnl.exe"
3) Ran memtest86+ on all memory sticks individually in each slot (took forever!), they seem error-free. Also tried booting from each stick individually, in various slots. No luck
4) Tried removing all peripherals, also removed video card and audio card, no luck
5) Reset UEFI to default. Also did CMOS reset.
6) Installed fresh copy of Win7 onto a spare HDD I had laying around to verify it's not a hardware error. This new installation works AFAIK, so it's probably not a hardware fault (hooray!). However, I'd still much rather restore my existing version of Windows rather than starting from scratch, as I've put a LOOOT of work into that OS.
7) Ran chkdsk on each drive, found and fixed a drive few errors, but didn't help get past the BSOD.
Here are links to my two latest minidump files: https://www.dropbox.com/s/6nci9pp5h3w0up3/DUMP1a14.dmp

Bear in mind that I cannot boot to windows whatsoever, so any changes I do would have to be via command line or regedit (through outside tools like Hiren's boot CD, which I'm familiar with)
