DMA access violation is constantly detected by IOMMU (Input–output memory management unit - Wikipedia). If you turn it off for a trial then Driver Verifier should detect a DMA access violation and then it should already detect a faulty driver that is incorrectly trying to get DMA
Yes of course. Trigger the blue screen and read the crash dump
When available please update the progress with post #5 steps 17, 18, 20.
For SMART won't one or more drives display results?
If there are no HD Tune Health results then the SMART may not be supported.
Double or triple check by testing with each:
Run HD Sentinel: (free or trial edition)
Hard Disk Sentinel - HDD health and temperature monitoring
Hard Disk Sentinel - HDD health and temperature monitoring

It is unclear to me whether there is a problem with this Laptop when Driver Verifier is turned off. Can the OP confirm if he has tested this and whether there are BSODs under normal operation?
driver verififer isn't usually on and I don't routinely get BSODs. I've had the odd one but everyone has.
This one is repeatable though when copying to this new HDD with verifier on AND off.. I'm about to turn driver verififer back on and do my backup to try and force a BSOD with IOMMU turned off
