Point Blanc
clearly avast is not working well and there amd driver causing the trouble, is there any update for ati card.
anyhow do this one by one. and do not connect to internet regularly.

1. Update gfx card driver.
2. try to get something like tuneup utils. clean registry
2. remove from internet and uninstall avast.
3. clean registry.
4. play your games. let the crash report be generated.
