Hi all. I am new to this site and need your expertise.

About 2 months ago, I started getting BSOD messages ranging from PFN_LIST_CORRUPT to DQRL_NOT_EQUAL_OR_LESS. I got tired of getting them (as it affected my productivity as a graphic designer) and yesterday reformatted my hard drive.

I reinstalled Windows XP and installed Service Pack 2. Now the BSOD messages are gone and instead Windows just crashes without warning and restarts. However, my computer does not do this in Safe Mode (which I am currently working from).

here is a log I made using Hijackthis:
