BSOD after booting into Windows 7

[mrgh]

Problems started about a week ago with a random shutdown. PC will boot almost all the way into windows 7, then screen turns lines of colors followed by BSOD. Programs randomly lock up. Even had BSOD from Safe Mode when I couldn't boot into Windows. Yesterday I installed a new Corsair power supply and a new CPU cooler and heatsink. Process Lasso shows CPU usage randomly going up to 100% on the AMD Athlon II 640, (4 core). MemTest 86+ v4.20 showed all 12 gigs of ram with no errors. During the first night of problems I restored to an earlier date. When I booted up the problems were the same, but Symantec was not active. I ran Malwarebytes. It found 15 viruses and removed them. I ran Spybot and it found 4 more and removed them. Symantec locks up when I try to install, so I'm running Avast in the mean time. I'm at my wits end. If anyone can help, it's certainly appreciated. Info on a couple of the crashes are in the mrgh zip attached.

I have been trying with no success

First, I want to thank you, Koolkat, for your assistance in troubleshooting these problems.

I removed Avast and replaced with MSE. The MSE scan said one infection, but I couldn't find out what it was. I then did the extensive ESET scan. It found 8 problems which I'll attempt to upload here.

Malwarebytes scan showed no problems.

Disk check showed no errors.

Seagate Seatools was run in DOS from boot. It passed the short test. On the long test it froze at 29%. I rebooted and ran the long test again. This time it froze at about 46%. Both times it froze, as soon as I moved the mouse, a constant beep started, sinilar to a bios beep.

SFC will not run from a command prompt in Windows. I attempted to then use a System Repair Disc I made when the PC was new so I could run SFC. It would not boot from the disc, even though I had no problem booting from the Seagate Seatools disc.

Memtest 86+ v4.20 also ran from boot and showed no errors. I haven't yet removed ATI and replaced it with the driver only.

Instead of BSODs, at least at present, I get constant random lockups in Windows, causing me to manually shut down. Sometimes it will shut down and restart before fully booting into windows. I am including the uploads of msinfo32 and systeminfo32.

Here is some extra information: When all these problems first started I had a sudden shutdown while in Windows. It wanted to boot into safe mode, but I booted it back into Windows. It fully boot, but I could hear the power supply fan fluctuating unnaturally. At this point, I tried to restore the system to an earlier date. Now there were BSODs, automatic reboots, lock ups, etc. I then undid the restore, but it made no difference. Erratic operation started before the initial restore anyway.

Because of the fluctuating power supply issue, I removed the 275watt power supply that came in this HP PC and put in a 500watt PC Power and Cooling I had on hand from an older Dell. Of course, it didn't correct any of the problems, but there was no erratic power supply operation. Since it was already a used power supply, I ordered a 500watt Corsair CX500 and an Artic Cooler fan and heat sink for the CPU, and installed both. With the computer problems, the Corsair sometimes races like crazy for 60 seconds or so at a time, then quiets down. So I don't know if temperatures are getting too hot at times, or what. I'm stumped!

I hope you can give me some input. And thanks for what you've attempted so far!

I have requested a friend to take a look at your thread please wait for a reply from him.

I just noticed that you have Norton:

Start Menu\Programs\Norton	GH-HP\GH:Start Menu\Programs\Norton	GH-HP\GH

which is a frequent cause of BSOD's, please uninstall it with its removal tool as well. Uninstallers (removal tools) for common antivirus software

From all indications, freezes, sfc not running and Seatools failing to do a long test I think your hard drive (HDD) has failed. SpyBot can cause BSODs so I recommend it be uninstalled and when you reinstall the AMD (ATI) drivers don't install the Catalyst Control Center (CCC), also a cause of BSODs as well.

download and install Crystal Disk Info, run it and posr a screen shot so we can get an idea about your HDD.
