Virus or hardware error

Hi,

my computer is acting quite strange for one week now. It started with sudden
unexpected reboots, followed by booting problems with a STOP: c000007b
involving kernel32.dll witch made it impossible to boot. Even a repair
installation crashes, so I did a installation directly over the old one. Now
I assumed a virus, but scanning with 3 Programs (Norton, Antivir and bit
defender) showed no infecdtion. last thing is a STOP: 0x0000000A with
IRQL_NOT_OR_EQUAL on a fresh system!
Any ideas what virus it could be or maybe which hardware might be damaged?
(chekced Harddisk with Seatools and RAM with Memtest, they are ok)

help appreciated

Thomas
System:
P4 3.2 Ghz
3GB RAM
