Windows 7 64 bit BSOD (prob virus)

Hiya... before I start, I am kind of a computer literate person, so bear that in mind when you give me instructions

Ok. Im 110% sure this was caused by a virus. Heres what happened. I downloaded a patch for a game from a torrent site (It was a rare oldish game and I couldnt find the patches on any trusted website so I had to resort to it). It was an exe, so I clicked it without thinking about that fact that it is an exe from a torrent site... stupidly. Double clicked, 5 seconds gone, boom, bsod.

When I try to boot it up normally, I get IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL and the stop code is 0x0000000A. I have not installed any new hardware recently. Im sure this was caused by this virus. It also seems that the virus has deleted my system restores. But thats ok... I have a program which basically does the same thing incase sys restores DO get deleted.

so blah blah blah, started up in safe mode, oh noes, a different BSOD. This one says SYSTEM_SERVICE_EXEPTION Stop code is 0x0000003B.

Searched both of these bsod's.... I'm 99% sure it is not the ram, as I said I have not put in any new hardware for aaaaaaaages. I have not installed any big programs that may change system files etc.

I have my disk, memory diagnostics didnt work. No system restores, no images, nothing. A fresh installation of windows wouldnt be the end of the world, but I would REALLY like to avoid it.

My full system specs are as follows :

Windows 7 home premium 64 bit

384mb XFX 9600 GSO (Basically a 9800GT with 384mb) latest drivers

Intel I7 920 (was ocd to 3.8ghz, declocked it to see if it helped)

Asus P6T SE

2x2GB Corsair 1600mhz ram

HDD : 1TB Western Digital (Not sure about the speed or model ;s)

I also checked hard drive for errors.

If there is something I can do to solve all of this, that would be nice, but really I just need to get into safe mode and I can handle it from there.

Says there you need to be from within windows 7 to do it... thing is, I cant get past the login screen can I do the same thing if I boot with the disk and install?

You can try it by booting with the disk

says the computer started using the windows installing disc, remove the installation disc and restart your computer so that windows starts normally, then insert the installing disc bla bla bla... looks like im well and truly screwed... its sad that there are hackers that do this just for fun and muck up peeps comps like this... god damnit.

is there any other way at all I can fix this and keep my files?

A guy on another forum said something about tapping f8 and clicking repair but for me it just comes up with options on what device to boot off.
