    Test your RAM using Memtest86+. Let it run until 6-8 passes have completed or errors have been found.
    RAM - Test with Memtest86+

    Enable Driver Verifier. Enabling this should hopefully crash your system and then point to the faulty driver that is causing problems. However before you do, it is advised that you create a system restore point and backup first.
    Driver Verifier - Enable and Disable

    Run an sfc/scannow command in an elevated command prompt. If errors are found, run it twice more with each scan followed by a reboot.
    SFC /SCANNOW Command - System File Checker

    You have avast! installed, is that correct? At least to test, uninstall it and install MSE (Microsoft Security Essentials) instead.
    Microsoft Security Essentials - Free Antivirus for Windows

    The following drivers need to be updated:

    Code:
    GEARAspiWDM.sys Mon May 18 22:17:04 2009
    teamviewervpn.sys Thu Dec 13 20:22:09 2007
    These drivers can be found by searching them in Google and then finding the associated software or driver. Finally, find the latest version of this driver or software and download and install it. Some of the drivers may also be found here (if the driver says 'Windows Update' simply make sure all Windows Updates are installed).

    You should also update any other drivers you can think of including graphics, audio, chipset, SSD etc.

    Make sure all Windows updates are installed.

    If you have any other dump files, please upload them also.
