Macbook pro 17 inch primo 2011 and thunderbolt display crashes

I have a Macbook pro 17 inch primo 2011 and thunderbolt display which has recently started to crash.

Only modifications I have doen lately is I swapped the CD/DVD drive for a harddrive and put in 16 GB of ram

but it has been running for more than a month with these hardware additions without problems.

Today my Macbook has started to crash frequently within 10 min to 1 hour after plugging in my thunderbolt display.

I tried to check CPU heat, change RAM but it keps crashing.

When it crashes it either gives me a blue screen, a black screen or a distorts everythings and freeze up.

When rebooting I have to press Command-Option-P-R to clear NVRAM / PRAM.

I found a few support threads from people having similar problems so I started to disconnect the thunderbolt display

and without plugging it in my laptop works fine.

I have done a SMC reset also but that has not resolved my issue.

Below is the crash report and if anybody has any suggestions what to do to resolve this please let me know

My thunderbolt display was purchased in late 2011

If this is not solveable what options do I have ?

Thanks !
