Is driver verifier enabled?
I think it's driver related.
There's little useful information. Can you please enable driver verifier by following these instructions.

crashed on start up, couldnt boot with verifier running. tried several times. "A problem has been detected and windows has been shut down to prevent damage to your computer."
"The IO manager has detected a violation by a driver that is being verified. The faulty driver that is being verified must be debugged and replaced with a working version."
how would i go about locating and fixing the faulty driver? i have all of the information that was displayed but im not sure if it's useful.
Can you boot into safe mode? If so upload the dump files and go to start, verifier.exe then delete all settings.
You will have to do a system restore from the advanced boot settings (F8). Then you'll have to go onto the start menu, type "msconfig". Then go onto boot and untick all startup programs that aren't your AV.
And yes, it is very useful, driver Verifer has located the driver that's crashing the system (hopefully), it should tell us in the .dmp files.
problem is, i was able to boot up right after by using "use last known good configuration." but no actual dump file was created, or its not where it should be. and as for msconfig, it is set up with selective boot, as it has been for the past year, and nothing starts except my graphics drivers, Microsoft, and Dropbox. but without a dump file how do i find out whihc one is having a problem?

Ah right sorry.
Did you make sure you didn't enable any drivers from MS, Unknown, or Macrovision?
If yes then it is probably driver related.
Are you doing a particular activity when your PC crashes?
What anti virus have you got?
Without dump files this becomes a guessing game. It becomes much more difficult to find the source of the problem.
Sometimes the BSOD gets interrupted so it can't create the dump files.
I recommend removing AVG and installing Microsoft Security Essentials and Malwarebytes instead.
Microsoft Security Essentials - Microsoft Windows
Malwarebytes | Free Anti-Malware & Internet Security Software
win32k.sys is the windowing driver, that isn't the cause but it is generally graphics related, system service exceptions are also common with graphics options.
I recommend updating/rolling back your driver.
Depending on your GPU I advise following either of these instructions.

Lets see if it helps, make sure you upload any new dump files.
