The first thing that stood out to me was this unusual driver, because I'd never seen it before:
Code:
Mkd2kfNt Mkd2kfNt.sys Fri Oct 17 04:50:22 2008
It seems to be some kind of keyboard security driver. If you didn't authorize its install, it could be some kind of keylogger it sounds to me. I don't really know. But I did find this Microsoft page about the game and someone else that has this driver too:

So try to uninstall that driver and associate app (if it has one too) to see if it helps. Let us know how it goes.
Based on the 0x8e error, you could also use CPU-Z to make sure you're not overclocking either intentionally or unintentionally. If it is, set the default speeds for memory and cpu in the bios.
