Solved BSODs and program shutdowns, seemingly at random

[AliRadicali]

After having recently contracted a virus of some sort, I've been experiencing various issues with my PC, despite having removed the infection and having reinstalled a bunch of drivers. I've run a couple of virus/malware cscans as well as system &registry cleaners but so far, nothing has helped.

Currently, my browser (firefox) as well as numerous other programs(winamp, the gimp, video players, etc.) shut down at odd moments, seemingly without provocation, and occasionally the entire system shuts down with a BSOD (IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL).
