Uninstall Avast using Avast Uninstall Utility. Use Microsoft Security Essentials as your antivirus with windows inbuilt firewall, and free MBAM as the on demand scanner.

Download and install those, and then run full system scans with both of them, one by one.

Let us know the results.

Arc,
I thank you for your time and help. I have followed your instructions and removed Avast
along with installing the two recommended programs. Both of them came back with clean scans with no problems found, however both times I left the room and when I came back the pc seemed to of restart on its own. I haven't had any major blue screens that i've seen and it idled all night while I slept, but I still am unable to run with Verifier.exe on and I still have a couple random freezes.

Since it has made it through the night i'm going to begin a bit of stress testing and running the pc as my friend would during a normal session. After it completes a few hours of that w/o any faults I'm going to re-enable verifier.exe and see how it goes. If you have any other suggestions on how I can test the pc and rest assured the problem is fixed please do inform me.

Edit: I take that back. I have now received two 3B BSOD's in a row. After I posted this response a minute later I fired up a 1080p youtube of planet earth and BAM, BSOD. Any ideas?
Also i'm seeing a lot of this -> The AODDriver4.2 service failed to start due to the following error:
The system cannot find the file specified. in the Event Viewer and this ->The computer has rebooted from a bugcheck. The bugcheck was: 0x0000001e (0x0000000000000000, 0x0000000000000000, 0x0000000000000000, 0x0000000000000000). A dump was saved in: C:\Windows\MEMORY.DMP. Report Id: 122812-15490-01.

You need to upload the latest crash dumps, so that we can analyze those.

got the minidmp here now. should i also make a copy of the memory.dmp ?

Very sorry. Somehow I have missed it

A search revealed that you are using nForce as the chipset driver, and that includes nvstor64.sys as the storage controller driver. You need to try to update nForce, as it contains not only the storage controller, but also network controller and a lot of other vital drivers.

Code:

lmvm nvstor64
start             end                 module name
fffff880`01021000 fffff880`01060000   nvstor64 T (no symbols)           
    Loaded symbol image file: nvstor64.sys

Go to Drivers - Download NVIDIA Drivers, search for nForce, as per your motherboard's chipset specifications.


Realtek High Definition Audio Function Driver

Code:

lmvm RTKVHD64
start             end                 module name

It is also very old. Update it from Realtek

Can you try to update the BIOS too, if possible?

Code:

BiosMajorRelease = 8
BiosMinorRelease = 15
BiosVendor = American Megatrends Inc.
BiosVersion = 5.16   
BiosReleaseDate = 06/03/2010
SystemManufacturer = Hewlett-Packard

Let us know the results. And, if the problem persists, upload your MSINFO32.nfo file in your next post, alongwith the further crash dumps.

1. Click on the start button
2. Type "msinfo32" (without quotes) in the search bar of the start menu, click the resulting link. It will open the System Information window.
3. File>Save. In the "File Name" filed, put "MSINFO32" (without Quote), give the save location to desktop, and click the "save" button.
4. Give the time for processing, it will save a .nfo file on your desktop.
5. Zip it, and upload it following the instruction.

Scan the system for possible virus infection.

• Anti-rootkit utility TDSSKiller
• Windows Defender Offline

There is a possibility that the crashes are caused by a malware.

Edit: If both of the scans come clear, enable Driver Verifier to monitor the drivers.
Driver Verifier - Enable and Disable
Run Driver Verifier for 24 hours or the occurrence of the next crash, whichever is earlier.

   Information

Why Driver Verifier:
It puts a stress on the drivers, ans so it makes the unstable drivers crash. Hopefully the driver that crashes is recorded in the memory dump.

How Can we know that DV is enabled:
It will make the system bit of slow, laggy.

   Warning

Before enabling DV, make it sure that you have earlier System restore points made in your computer. You can check it easily by using CCleaner looking at Tools > System Restore.

If there is no points, make a System Restore Point manually before enabling DV.

   Tip

• If you fail to get on the Desktop because of DV, Boot into Advanced Boot Options > Safe mode. Disable DV there. Now boot normally again, and try following the instruction of enabling DV again.
• If you cannot boot in Safe mode too, do a System Restore to a point you made earlier.

Let us know the results, with the subsequent crash dumps, if any.

Both scans came back clear and i've been unsuccessful when using DV. I can't get it to run more than an hour with it on and then non-stop freezing happens not even blue screens. those last two dmps were from blue screens while DV was running. any other suggestions?

Edit: I've been trying to run with DV active for about an hour or so now and I keep getting random hard locks(freezes). The PC doesn't blue screen. Is there any other log I can upload to show what may be causing the freeze? I've also deactivated DV and it still has random hard locks occur. For instance i'm posting this edit while DV is active i've yet to have a blue screen or a freeze. It's been up and running for maybe 5 minutes.
