Use the PC as normal and try play Civ too.
After leaving it running all night without a crash, I used the computer for a couple hours this morning. Eventually got a crash, that repeated itself 2 times after reboot so I disabled Verifier. Seems it's Avast related.
Confirmed - Avast is indeed the problem. Uninstall it completely and replace it with MSE (it never causes BSOD's).Code:******************************************************************************* * * * Bugcheck Analysis * * * ******************************************************************************* Use !analyze -v to get detailed debugging information.

Monitor for further BSOD's and keep us updated.
Hi Golden, Thank you so much for your help with this issue. I haven't been playing as much Civ, but I haven't yet seen a BSOD in what I've played. I'm going to mark this as solved for now, as it could be months before I rack up enough hours to say so beyond doubt. Again, I really appreciate your assistance. Take care.
Speaking of could be months....Finally got another BSOD, of course again it was during Civ. Worth noting, the game did receive it's first major update in over a year, maybe or maybe not related. Of course I've kept Avast off of my PC. I did update CCC I believe, not sure how to verify that.

Revert to the earlier version of the display driver....the one prior to updating CCC.Code:ffff880`06d808a0 fffffa80`0a4b9900 fffff880`06d808a8 fffff880`100ba038 dxgkrnl!DXGADAPTER::AcquireDdiSync+0x30 fffff880`06d808b0 fffffa80`0c4044e0 fffff880`06d808b8 fffff880`0400aef8Unable to load image \SystemRoot\system32\DRIVERS\atikmpag.sys, Win32 error 0n2 *** WARNING: Unable to verify timestamp for atikmpag.sys *** ERROR: Module load completed but symbols could not be loaded for atikmpag.sys atikmpag+0xaef8 fffff880`06d808c0 fffffa80`078c5400 fffff880`06d808c8 fffffa80`08a49928 fffff880`06d808d0 00000000`00000001
Okay, I think I'm at an impasse. I can't figure out how to accomplish that without causing other major issues. Here's what I've tried:
1. Deleting the drivers from device manager leaving CCC intact: Windows Update doesn't provide any drivers, and somehow whenever I restart the drivers are back (I did check delete).
2. Uninstalling CCC: Windows update still doesn't provide me with any drivers, and computer requires a hard reset. Somehow old AMD drivers show up in Device Manager.
3. Reinstalling CCC, then rolling back the drivers to the old ones: CCC won't start anymore.
The thing is without CCC, I can't overscan. So I'm stuck with a 1+ inch black border around my monitor, and I'm not sure if crossfire is even enabled. I get the feeling this methodology I guessed at isn't at all what you had in mind. Can you perhaps let me know where I went wrong? In the old logs is there a way to find the version number that was stable, and maybe I can go and try to download that from AMD?
edit: wanted to update where I am now. After the 3rd step I tried, I went to device manager and updated my drivers from there. I think I'm just back to the original driver, but I can get at CCC and overscan works
