Followup: MachineOwnerthe above dump file is blaming the GPU driver which for some reason crashed, tried to be reset and then the system timed out causing the bsod. There are numerous reasons why your gpu driver crashed in the first place and looking through the dump file I notice your missing a few important updates.

If you encounter issues on installing then you may need the update readiness tool:

BiosVersion = 0802
BiosReleaseDate = 10/08/2012
Several Bios updates have been released all to do with stability:

Try removing your gpu driver using this application:

That will remove any old bits of driver left lying around from previous installations.
Re-install the latest AMD Whql driver:

avgidsha.sys Tue Jun 17 15:06:20 2014: AVG Anti-Virus known on occasion to cause issues. Please remove during this period and install MSE as it's more stable (you can always install AVG after):

Please run the Intel driver update utility:

You need to read this first post in this sticky Link Removed
And run the utility as an administrator and attach it to your next post.
That should resolve any issues getting the information and dump files

That particular error code is specific to AMD drivers and can mean either there's an issue with the card itself or your PSU isn't supplying the required voltage.
Try running Furmark keeping a note of temperatures. If the machine crashes whilst running Furmark then that could also mean either the card is faulty, not enough juice from the PSU or it overheated:

Please post the make and model of your GPU and PSU including wattage.

Hmm... I've been doing some Googling trying to find out if your PSU is good enough. Your right on the limit with 500W and I've also read that the card requires 25A on the 12v Rail. Your PSU only delivers 18A..
When does the bsod happen? Can you reproduce it every time or is it more random than that? Also please post any further dump files you may have.

If it didn't crash whilst running Furmark and also going by what you say above your PSU is probably just enough. It could be that some corruption has set in so try running the system file checker. Open an admin command prompt and type:
sfc /scannow
Press enter and await results.
sfc /scannow
Press enter and await results.

Followup: MachineOwnersomething is causing your gpu driver to crash. You still need to update the bios. As I posted above many of the updates pertain to stability and could well be the answer to your issues:
