Hello, this is my first time here. Thank you in advance.

My computer frequently crashes to a blue screen. It may be a hardware problem, because I took off the side of the case and put a more powerful fan against my box and it seems to be helping.

In addition to that, my computer is a bit slower than normal, and some Windows components dont work. If I try to go to the Add/Remove programs list, nothing comes up.

Also, some pictures appear fragmented, while others dont.

Here is my HJT log:

Hello and welcome to Geeks to Go

I've just had a look at your post and I too think your problem may be hardware based.

Your HJT log is unremarkable except for one thing; you appear to have two antivirus (AV) programmes running; Avast and AVG. This is bad practice as they will cause slowness and also conflicts. Please uninstall one of them.

I doubt that will solve your problems - could I suggest that you post in the hardware forum?
