BSOD Immediately after connecting to internet
Hey everyone, my main PC has been running slow for a few weeks now and the other night I got the Ukash Virus, which locks down the computer after the internet cable is plugged in. After many failed attempts to remove the virus, including starting up in safe mode and running anti-virus software, checking proxy settings and eventually restoring the computer to a previous date using the System Restore, the Virus stopped popping up with the warning screen and instead the computer BSOD'd after plugging in the internet cable and reset itself.
I have used the Windows 7 CD to Format my hard drive and reinstall windows, hoping that this would get rid of either the virus or fix any registry items which may be causing the BSOD. Unfortunately it hasn't, and every time I plug in my Ethernet cable, I get a BSOD about 20 seconds later and then the computer resets itself. After Windows loads back up it has the following Error Report...

I'm currently using my Laptop to post on here, as the PC can't connect to the internet, but I have downloaded the SF_Diagnostic_Tool, used a memory stick to transfer it to the PC and then put the .zip folder back onto the memory stick and onto the laptop to allow me to post it here.

I'm not sure if any of this is relevant but I figured I'd put as much information as possible here to help.
I'm guessing it may be time to buy a new hard drive but am a little worried that it may be something else.... RAM, Motherboard (), etc.
Can anyone give me any advice as to what may be causing this and/or a way to fix it?
This is my first time posting here so if I've done something stupid or haven't included something I should have please let me know.
