alright so im new on here but i need some good help. about a week ago my laptop started running really slow upon start up and then just the entire time it is on. it would take a few minutes to open up any program (my documents, firefox, or even the start menu itself). i figured id run an antivirus scan, i use avast since its what ive always used and never had problems with. well about 20 minutes into the scan it blue screened and restarted the computer. i was a bit confused so i tried again and obtained the same result. i know my family has had problems with their computer having viruses so i put on malwarebytes since it worked for them, ran it in safe mode the first time and then in normal mode. both runs ended in the bsod. getting frustrated with it i looked online for a solution to my specific problem and ive came across a number of them, i updated all of my drivers, i ran ccleaner, i cant run defrag because it keeps telling me i have to remove special settings before i can and it never lets me remove them. i came across a forum post where a user had roughly the same problem as me and i tried the solutions listed to him ( http://answers.yahoo...23092135AAGLFnb )
the first solution didnt work, the scan didnt even run. then i used a registry cleaner and it blue screened in the middle of it, i did the disk clean up. i dont have a system restore date to restore to or i would. i have not checked the ram for defects and i have tried the virus scan several times. so any advice that you could pass along to help would be phenominal.

currently running an acer aspire 5742. windows 7 home edition. intel core i3 (2.4ghz)
if any more information is needed feel free to ask. id just rather not spend money on a new laptop right now
