Diagnosing crash dump files

[TimothyR]

So, I have an older desktop that's just used for email and web browsing now. Recently, it has crashed several times.

It got the error codes IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL and PAGE_FAULT_IN_NONPAGED_AREA.

I know both of these can be related to bad RAM, but before I go out and get new RAM to put in, I thought I'd have a look at the crash dump files. I've not had any experience looking at these, so what do y'all make of them? What should I be looking at to diagnose this?

Attached are the two crash dump files I managed to pull.
