It would appear that you have conflicting security software.

Is your Malwarebytes the Pro (Premium) or Pro version?

You need to remove McAfee as it is damaged. Please don’t reinstall for now whilst investigation is being undertaken.

Please download and run ADWCleaner and upload a copy of the report produced to your OneDrive. Remove all that it finds. :

I suggest you take the precaution of creating a system restore point before running ADWCleaner, to guard against unforeseen consequences. Select Start, Control Panel, System, System Protection, and click the Create button.

To identify what loads when you boot use Autoruns (freeware from Microsoft).

http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/bb963902

With Autoruns you can uncheck an item, which disables it from starting, or you can right click an item and then delete it. If you uncheck you can recheck to re-enable the item. It is a much safer approach than editing the Registry and better than using msconfig.

Run Autoruns and select the Everything tab. Click File, Save and, using the scroll to the right, change the “Save as type” option from Autoruns Data (*.arn) to Text (*txt). The file name changes to AutoRuns.txt. Click the Save button and upload the file to your OneDrive as a shared file and post as a link here.

Your dump files was over 1gb. Too large to handle. In most situations it is preferable to configure the computer to produce a kernel memory dump when system failure occurs. A complete memory dump is a very large file to handle so it is more practical to work with Kernel memory dumps when trying to resolve blue screen errors.

Please change your dump files settings to produce a Kernel memory dump. Select Start, Control Panel, System, Advanced system settings, Advanced tab, and click the Startup Recovery Settings button. Under System failure check the boxes before Write an event to the system log and Automatically restart. Change the Write debugging information option using the scroll to the right to Kernel memory dump. Click OK and, in the next window click Apply and OK. Restart your computer to apply the changes.

Please upload and share with everyone copies of your System log and your Application log (two files) from your Event Viewer to your OneDrive and post a link here.

To access the System log select Start, Control Panel, Administrative Tools, Event Viewer, from the list in the left side of the window expand Windows Logs and select System. Place the cursor on System, select Action from the Menu and Save All Events as (the default evtx file type) and give the file a name. Do the same for the Applications log. Do not provide filtered files. Do not place the cursor in the list of reports before selecting Action from the menu. Do not clear logs whilst you have a continuing problem.

Took me awhile to get the info but I think I got what you are looking for.  The computer is an ASUS G73JW.  Right now the computer is running normally I ran it a few day ago for hours in regular mode.  It  seems as if the computer tried to do too much a once and shut down. As I hadn't run it in a few weeks.  Here is the link https://onedrive.live.com/redir?resid=72040ac237b79dd5%21105. Hopefully this can be resolved as I need to use it o-lot more than I have been.
