Summer of 2015, end of May/early June, I start crashing out of nowhere. Here's a screencap of my BlueScreenView. After trying reinstalling various drivers, I got the BSODs to stop out of nowhere one day. I'm concerned, but glad.
Fast forward to summer of 2016 and my computer starts crashing randomly once again, once every day or two, making me think this is an overheating problem due to dust buildup within the computer. I can't lookup the BSODs via BlueScreenView's convenient google search due to the fact that, despite increasing the pagefile size and confirming the settings, the minidump is never written, or at least if it is, it never saves. And then soon after, my once smoothly playable Overwatch and League games slowed down to ~25 FPS from 45 in OW, and to ~35 FPS from ~100+ in LoL. So I dust out the computer, but nothing changes, and in fact the BSODs begin to come more often.
Currently, I'm at a point where I can barely go an hour of use without getting either a BSOD or my screen freezing, with a mix of random colors on the screen. These crashes occur during anything from YouTube to simply browsing forums for help. I haven't played Overwatch or League in a bit of time because of these issues, but I've crashed many times before playing them. I've run the Windows Memory Diagnostic Tool but it says that there are no errors with my memory.
I'm at my wit's end and I don't even know what to do with the myriad problems I'm facing. I appreciate any and all help, and if there is any relevant information that I need to add to diagnose my computer, please tell me.
BSODs I've faced recently:
0x3B SYSTEM_SERVICE_EXCEPTION (sometimes attributed to atikmdag.sys, sometimes not)
0x50 PAGE_FAULT_IN_NONPAGED_AREA (Atihdw76.sys or win32k.sys or atikmdag.sys)
0x1A MEMORY_MANAGEMENT
0x7F
0x1E (win32k.sys)
Specs:
XPS 8300 from ~2011. No parts replaced.

Hard Drive: 1TB WDC WD10EALX-759BA1
