Lately my computer is running a little strange, it usually hangs for about one minute when I log-on (when everything starts to load). I think this could have something to do with the virusscanner updating but I'm not sure. However what is more problematic is that I'm getting more and more BSODs lately, sometimes totally random but it is also happening frequently when using image editing programs, trying different programs did not help.

Examples of errors:

0x0000008E
0x000000BE
0x0000000A

It could be driver related of course, but I would appreciate it very much if you can help me to find out whether it's a virus/malware/rootkit etc or not.

Edit: I have already run anti-spyware programs and a virusscanner.
