Hi. . .
Yes... "lone dump" -- meaning 1. There was only one dump file in the attached zip file.
Are you running an app like CCleaner that deletes dump files?
The BSOD screenshots were revealing. One of them contained a bugcheck
0x101 - a CPU hang. 0x101s often indicate bad CPUs, but not always.
If you have an Intel CPU, run the Intel test -

If AMD, run Prime95 -

You can also run Prime95 on Intel.
The other BSODs in the screenshots all named the Microsoft networking related driver
NETIO.sys as the probable cause. This may mean that your networking drivers are involved or that some app (like Zone Alarm) was "phoning home" at the time of the BSOD. My guess is the latter.
However, be sure that both Ethernet + wifi drivers are updated. The only sure way to do that is to look the drivers up in Device Manager, find them in the Driver Reference Table (DRT), check the update site for updated drivers.
DRT -
Driver Reference Table
You can see if Driver Verifier is running or not by bringing up an Admin CMD prompt; type/paste
verifier /query
If info returns - Driver Verifier is running. If not, you'll see a message like this:
Code:
2/29/2016, 9:20:08 PM
No drivers are currently verified.
I do not know much about Speccy or why it would report "bad allocation".
Please forget about step #6 for now - concentrate on the CPU test + wifi and Ethernet driver updates. Even if using only wifi, be sure to update Ethernet anyway because even though not in use, the Ethernet driver is loaded into RAM. Vice-versa with Ethernet use and not wifi.
I hope that all of this turns out to be precautionary and that Zone Alarm turns out to be the lone culprit. Zone Alarm could very well have been involved with the 0x101 (CPU hang) BSOD. I have seen these 3rd party Internet Security Suites damage many Windows installations over the years (NOT physical hardware damage). They harness a great deal of power because they jump so many levels (user mode + kernel mode) and have the power to bring very powerful systems like core i7s to a crawl.
If I missed any of your questions, please let me know.
