If anyone could help me that would be great. I don't know what to do when the pc actually needs fixing so I'm alone here.
 
You're not really posting any information about the problem. All you've given us is your specs - we don't even know what is crashing.
What game(s) is crashing?
Has anything changed on your system since it last worked? Any new software installed? New antivirus or anything?
Are there any errors when a game crashes that you can share with us? If you don't see anything right off hand open up eventvwr and under the Application category see if you can find anything related to the game that is crashing.
What AMD Drivers are you running?
Is Windows patched up?
What sound device are you using?
 
What games are crashing?:
DoomMMO( Infestation Survivor Stories emulator)
Hearthstone
Has anything changed on your system since it last worked? Any new software installed? New antivirus or anything?: Pidgin off the record messaging and hotspot shield.
Are there any errors when a game crashes that you can share with us?:
When DoomMMO crashes it gives me the option to send in an error report which is probably useless.
Is Windows patched up?: I guess? Nothing seems to be off with windows.
What sound device are you using?: Microphone
 
Go to C:\windows\minidump. Select all the .dmp files and right-click sending these files to a compressed(zipped)folder. Upload the folder as a file here

Yes it is empty. Have you looked for a new updated AMD Radeon HD 7800 Series driver? You might want to pull the video card out and check for dust, and make sure that the fan is clean and rotating freely
