07F mem dump BSOD Dell 8400

Dell P4 3.0ghz 512MB DDR2 160GB SATA ATI X300SE

I have a Dell here with XP home and 7 accounts on it with freedom to surf where they like.
this pc has a lot of games and various crapware on it.

BSOD was happening after 5 mins or so but have now managed to get it to stay on longer.
in safemode it appears to be stable.

have run ad-aware, spybot, AVGAS, AVG, Smitrem, HJT which came back with significant problems ie PSguard, some trojans and other...
cannot complete online scanners(Kasp, Panda, Housecall) as the BSOD happens before the end of scan.although im about to try them in safe mode.

tried removing all non essential software but this thing still has 50 GB on it.

have run memtest for 20 or so passes with no errors.

Tested HDD with speedfan comes back as 99%

tried updating ATI driver to latest version.

i would like to know how to trace the error properly to see if this can be salvaged before i reformat.

Want to finish cleaning up the preinstalled crap?

Plus, have you used something like Crap Cleaner to get rid of the day to day garbage?

thanks glc.

CCleaner came back with loads of issues so just testing now to see if it will complete pandascan online without BSOD.

blacklight came back clean, i've removed a safecom adsl modem driver that seemed to be hogging the LAN connection and am trying symantec online virus scan.

dumprep 0 k is in the startup list, is this just the logging application? or possibly linked to a virus?

That's just the logging app for a crash.
