    Computer freezes, Screen glitches, BSODS


    Hey guys so it all started a couple days ago, i was on Facebook then my computer froze up and my screen had a purple tint to it i also heard a buzz coming for my headphones so i turned the computer off manually. I then tried to boot Windows 7 64 bit home premium and the flag was duplicated and all the letters were zig zagged/duplicated and windows wouldn't boot i would go to a black screen and freeze but i was able to logon through safe mode with networking. I then did a system back up and that didn't work, i then did a system repair, did nothing then randomly Windows booted up normally and i was able to update my graphics card it then crashed minutes later and i was able to boot windows normally again then it froze and crashed. So i left it alone for the night, the next day i tried booting her up and it wouldn't boot normally so i went on safe mode with networking and deleted alot of useless crap and uninstalled any software i downloaded normally, Then i was able to boot it again froze etc so i got it to open Windows normally so i decided to downgrade my driver for my graphics card and sure enough it started working but i still had minor screen glitches. I decided to test MW2 out and it would freeze for a second or two every once in awhile and sometimes the screen would go green then boom BSOD i thought this was the end of my pride and joy. So tried booting it and for 2-3 times it bsod after awhile saying something about my graphics card trying to respond but timed out, then randomly i was able to get on upgraded my driver to the latest version then deleted all of my Windows accounts and created 1 new one (the one im on now) then my power went out.. After that i wasn't able to boot my computer passed the windows flag and it would just blue screen saying my graphics card timed out After a 15 minute break i was able to log back on and now i'm here i've been on for an hour and 10 minutes no screen glitches or BSOD's yet keep in mind i just made this account 2 hours ago before my power went out. If this problem persists and i can't fix it i will be bringing big bertha (My computer) into a repair shop to see what they can do. Anyways i'll attach my zip folder from the diagnostics tool please anything will help best regards - Quinn

    Download and install Download .NET Framework Version 4.5 - FileHippo.com, and then do a Windows Update - Reset

    If LogMeIn Hamachi is a problem, uninstall it.

    Uninstall McAfee, Uninstall Super AntySpyware. Use Microsoft Security Essentials as your antivirus with windows inbuilt firewall, and free MBAM as the on demand scanner.
    Download, install and update those, and then run full system scans with both of them, one by one.

    Uninstall SecurityKiss too, if VPN is not a must for you.

    The BIOS is very old. Even older than windows 7. You need to update it.
    Code:
    BIOS Version/Date    Award Software International, Inc. F2, 1/4/2008
    Update realtek ethernet NIC driver from Realtek

    AnchorFree .... another VPN service? Or am I getting confused? These drivers are used by Comodo, too.
    Code:
    tap0901      TAP-Win32 Adapter V9   Kernel        3/24/2011 2:20:03 PM  
    taphss       Anchorfree HSS Adapter Kernel        9/15/2009 12:58:23 PM 
    taphss6      Anchorfree HSS VPN Ada Kernel        11/14/2012 5:38:02 PM
    Uninstall the program that owns the drivers.

    Finally, The zip you uploaded does not contain any crash dump.

    Follow it: Dump Files - Configure Windows to Create on BSOD
    Go to Option Two, Point 2. Download the .reg file and merge it in registry by double clicking it.

    Search the .dmp files manually in the default path: C:\Windows\Minidump or %SystemRoot%\Minidump. Post it following the Blue Screen of Death (BSOD) Posting Instructions.

    First of all thank you so much for replying!! my computer wouldn't boot and it would freeze on a black screen right after the Windows flag so i let it idle, and voila i was able to log on, So i have downloaded both of the virus software and am now running a full scan on MBAM and after that i will do it on MSE. I aswell did the Windows updater thing, and i am going to drag the thing in my mini dump in the latest zip thing, How would i update my BIOS? Here's my manufacturer and model of my Motherboard can you put a link to the thing i should download? GIGABYTE GA-EP35-DS3R LGA 775 Intel P35 ATX Dynamic Energy Saver Ultra Durable II Intel Motherboard, thanks so much it also BSOD twice today i also uninstalled my VPNs etc, I will get back to you with my scan results, oh i keep getting an error whenever i try "Grabbing all" with the Diagnostics tool? i posted a picture.

    Are you right clicking on the .exe file and choosing Run as administrator ?

    Can you run this command for me please

    Open up the command prompt . Click on type CMD in the search box . Type the command exactly has shown below

    Code:
    systeminfo | find "BIOS Version:"
       Note
    The | pipe symbol can be found using SHIFT+\ (just above the Enter key).
