Escalating Problem - BSOD Report

This is the original post of mine from a few hours ago.

"Hi everyone. Hoping you could help me out.

Yesterday evening I was updating the full version of my antivirus software when I received a blue-screen error message about three-quarters of the way through installation. (This only took up the center of the screen and didn't appear to be the "blue screen o' death" that is often spoken of among the Windows community). I didn't think anything of it until the computer halted my Internet connection and then froze up.

"No problem," I thought. "I'll just do a hard-restart; things like this happen all the time." I flicked off the power switch, then turned it back on and tried to reinstall the updated software again. Same problem.

"That's odd." I brought up the "Windows 7 Action Center" and saw the "System Restore" button located at the bottom, so I tried to restore it to the day before yesterday, when everything was running normally. The restore went through its normal procedure, but then when the computer had rebooted I got this message:

"System Restore did not complete successfully, Your computer's files and settings were not changed.
Details;
System Restore could not access a file. This is probably because an anti-virus program is running on the computer . Temporally disable your antivirus program and retry System Restore.
An unspecified error occurred during System Restore, (0x80070005)"

I disabled my antivirus and attempted the system restore again, but got the same message. "Whatever," I thought, then decided to try to re-install a different anti-virus software.

Problem was, my wireless internet connection (which had been terminated when all this nonsense started originally) still was not working (which is unusual) and I brought up a troubleshooter. The troubleshooter suggested that my wireless adapter's driver might be out-of-date and to get a new one (but I can't get on the internet).

That's when I got the idea to fire up my old PC (this one that I'm on now, which is running Windows vista) to try to figure out all this nonsense. When I went to restart my HP TouchSmart tx2-1375dx (my "main" computer, and the one currently giving me issues), it had locked up again. Time for another hard restart.

Click. I turned it on again. And got into the "safe mode" option. Seemed like a good choice; I could just uninstall whatever the problematic software was (I had reason to believe it was my anti-virus update) and try again, right? Wrong. The computer locked up again as I was loading up "safe mode".

Another hard restart, only this time it led to the "Run Startup repair (recommended)"/"Start Windows Normally" option. Is there anything I need to know about this to restore normal PC function?

Sorry this question read like a JRR Tolkien novel. Also, I'm not very computer savvy, so I can't tell you very much about the specs.

Thanks for your time."

At this point, I have run the "blue screen of death" program from this page: https://www.sevenforums.com/crashes-d...tructions.html

I was unable to run the "perfmon /report" due to an unspecified file path or something like that, but everything else came up normally, and I will add the compressed file.

(I don't know why the "/report" didn't generate, as I have never messed with anything under "perfmon" before.)

If it helps:
-It's 32-bit Windows 7, for personal (home computer) use.
-Hardware and OS are less than a year old.
-Windows 7 is the original operating system, and it is the full version of the OS (as opposed to a retailer version).
-I have not reinstalled the OS or anything like it, it's still in the first-time use.

Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

How To Find Drivers:

- search Google for the name of the driver
- compare the Google results with what's installed on your system to figure out which device/program it belongs to
- visit the web site of the manufacturer of the hardware/program to get the latest drivers (DON'T use Windows Update or the Update driver function of Device Manager).
- if there are difficulties in locating them, post back with questions and someone will try and help you locate the appropriate program.

- - The most common drivers are listed on this page: Driver Reference
- - Driver manufacturer links are on this page: Drivers and Downloads

Awesome. Thanks. Once it fires up again I'll get on that.

===UPDATE===

Computer keeps freezing when I try to run this, no matter which mode i run the /sfc scannow command in. It gets to 14% then completely and totally freezes. Has been having problems with locking up whenever I try to install/remove programs (and in full windows mode, with freezing at inopportune times).

Will keep trying.

===UPDATE===

Computer locks up in regular Windows mode and won't let me run that "/sfc scannow" command. Getting frustrated now. And after repeated attempts to turn on the wireless adapter, it won't let me.

Have tried reinstalling numerous drivers (read somewhere that the repeated lockups could possibly be because of outdated drivers), but of course nothing can be installed in "Safe Mode".

What should I do? I keep thinking I'm making progress but then it locks up on me.
