Hey, guys. I've recently bought a new computer and have been getting BSODs.
Specifications

OS: Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit SP1
System Model: MSI MS-7641
Processor: AMD FX(tm)-41000 Quad-Core Processor (4CPUs), ~3.6GHz
Memory: 8192MB RAM
Graphics Card: Nvidia GeForce GTS 450 from PALIT

And these are the errors I get.
BAD_POOL_HEADER
IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL
SYSTEM_THREAD_EXCEPTION
 
Is Windows 7 fully updated using Windows Update, including all the optional updates? Are there any yellow exclamation points in the device manager?
 
I keep having errors whenever I try to install a few Windows Update and no, there are no exclamation points in the device manager. And I don't have any Anti-Virus.
 
You might have a virus infection... It's not wise to run with out one. Windows 8 has one built-in
 
I don't think I do since I'm extremely cautious about the things I click. I don't have the money for Windows 8 though. Does this means I have to do a complete reformat and get Windows 7 SP2?
 
Oh, thank you. :) I'll look into these and give feedback if anything helped.

Also, I didn't know Windows 7 was only up to SP1. Thanks again.
