Multiple computer specs can be displayed.
Please update the "My Computer" section to display the specs for the second computer.
If there is only one computer then please continue posting in the open thread.
I was just surfing the internet and all of a sudden I get the blue screen.

Could it mean my hard drive is getting bad. I did chkdsk scans the other day on all 3 of my drives and it found nothing.

Check S.M.A.R.T your hard drive with HD Tune or CrystalDiskInfo
Perform the following steps:
1) Open administrative command prompt and copy and paste:
chkdsk /r /v
This may take hours to run so plan to run overnight.
Run on all drives using the syntax: chkdsk /r /v C: or chkdsk /r /v D: changing the drive letter to the applicable drive.
C:\Windows\system32>chkdsk /r /v
The type of the file system is NTFS.
Cannot lock current drive.
Chkdsk cannot run because the volume is in use by another
process. Would you like to schedule this volume to be
checked the next time the system restarts? (Y/N)
Type: Y
reboot

Ok I did my C drive and D drive with the seatools and HDtune. C drive won't do the benchmark.
Ran chkdsk on C and D drives repaired them. I forgot to mention that my D drive is about 10-15 years old, and yes it's been working good except for the last few months. I did ordered a SSD for that drive and will start using that.
My question what does this mean "A corruption was discovered in the file system structure on volume C:.A corruption was found in a file system index structure. The file reference number is 0x2460000000001fa. The name of the file is "\ProgramData\Microsoft\Search\Data\Applications\Windows". The corrupted index attribute is ":$I30:$INDEX_ALLOCATION".
Also the other corrupt file is my virus program?

For C: there was some cleaning.
When available please post Sea Tools and chkdsk results for the second drive.
The drive file system can become corrupt.
Whatever files are located in that section are affected.
Ideally running chkdsk switches can fix the corruption.
If not then other options include formatting or deleting the partitions.
