Type msconfig into the Start Search, enter and open the Startup tab and post a snip of it please.
ok , download worked. will run the test overnight. heres the snip of the startup tab: Capture.PNG. No i didnt update the BIOS, and I can't install the update utility and I never have manually updated it, I heard it can be dangerous if you dont know what your doing.

OK, uncheck everything in your startup EXCEPT for Malwarebytes and MSE, if that is what the Microsoft entry is. Reboot and test. enable the startups one at a time and reboot, test again with each one. when you get the BSOD, you'll know probably if one of those is causing it.
You really don't have to have in startup:
Google Update
Steam
Power DVD
Adobe Reader, very bloated
Java platform
Quick Time
iTunes
These will run as you need them.
I fixed it, had to reset my BIOS. Probably need to update my BIOS. what kind of test should I run, the small FFTs, in-place large FFTs, or Blend?
Run the small FFTs to begin with. Follow the tutorial I gave you a link for. It will explain exactly how to run the test. Keep a close watch on CPU temps and shut it down if the temps get dangerously high.
EDIT: the blend test is AKA torture test. With your issues I would not recommend that. Maybe run that after sorting everything out.
tried running small FFTs test, and computer froze up. Bad CPU?
