Computer freezes, Screen glitches, BSODS

[NVIDIA]

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

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.

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 rb: type CMD in the search box . Type the command exactly has shown below

[b]systeminfo | find "BIOS Version:"[/b]

   Note

The | pipe symbol can be found using SHIFT+\ (just above the Enter key).

Please read the manual carefully .

For the floppy disk way should i put the BIOS Update onto the floppy disk or could i just put the BIOS update into my C: or D: Drive and just select it through there or?

 

[VistaKing]

That's incase you have a floppy drive. I recommend you place it inside a USB flash drive . ( on the root of the drive not inside a folder )
