I am not sure how you ruled out "other tasks". SQL creating a dump is caused by something and the original dump you indicated to me REALLY looks like it...

My opinion, turning on the legacy cardinality estimator is more of a band-aid solution and it will fail in a future upgrade to SQL server as Microsoft isn't going to...
