The cause of your problem is clearly indicated in the bugcheck error
message. It's a misbehaving driver named NOWMEMDF.sys. Do a search on
the driver and you will find the solution, this driver is described as
"Nowcom Memory Defender". I'm leery of any kind of third party drivers
which seem to indicate that they somehow fix, enhance or protect memory
on Windows NT systems, these things are usually nothing more than junk
and snake oil!
It's caused by junk from NOWCOM that was installed on your computer,
probably came with Clubbox file transfer manager. Uninstall that trash
and see if things improve.
