So the problems seems to get worse. The PC is more likely to freeze now than before, in addition to bluescreen, but I think I've experienced less bluescreens. (I've not used the computer a lot though and have started it more in safe mode than before, because I don't seem to get any problems in safe mode, other than bad system performance)
Often it's just programs that stops working even when they are not used, when I try to bring up the task manager, it sometimes works, but most of the times it doesn't come up. I try to exit the programs clicking on the cross in the upper right corner and in addition with right clicking on the applications then click exit in the task menu. I can actually move my mouse, but when I try to exit or start other applications they too seems to stop working. Like today. Opera stopped working while I was downloading an ISO-file (BIOS-update from Zepto). I was away for 5 minutes so it must've have stopped working during that time, then I tried to exit but it didn't work (no message from Vista saying it needed to exit etc). So I got into a skype chat, which was already started, and wrote a message to a friend, but when I hit enter that program too stopped working (the message was never delivered). Then I exited some other programs, just to clean things up. Some programs did actually exit (simple programs like an open folder ...) but some didn't. The event viewer for example also got a problem, then I tried to open a folder on the desktop, but it just got that loading mouse over it, the folder never opened. I tried to exit and also just wait for 20 minutes, but then I just had to force the computer off. (I tried to turn it off normally aswell without success). When I started event viewer I noticed that it hadn't logged anything between 23:41:16 and 00:04:27 the time period where programs had stopped working.
When I started event viewer after aa new boot up and started to go through the error messages from day 1, I noticed something. The error:

Event filter with query "SELECT * FROM __InstanceModificationEvent WITHIN 60 WHERE TargetInstance ISA "Win32_Processor" AND TargetInstance.LoadPercentage > 99" could not be reactivated in namespace "//./root/CIMV2" because of error 0x80041003. Events cannot be delivered through this filter until the problem is corrected.

This error is listed under "Programs" in the event viewer, and the first one in the log is from 01.10.2008, 20:13:07 (GMT+1, Norway), and the error is still coming back. Last time it happened was 18.10.2008, 00:22:25 (GMT +1)

I dont know if this is error is related but now you know about it.
I also ran mbam, and this is from the log:

It says that those two system files is a trojan agent. But when I searched on google I found out that it's just a driver from Realtek and should be harmless?
I did btw download an update from Realtek with Windows Update yesterday. This one: Realtek Semiconductor Corp. - Storage - Realtek USB 2.0 Card Reader
( Realtek Semiconductor Corp. Storage software update released in June, 2008,
http://winqual.microsoft.com/support/?driverid=20182794 )
I have, as mentioned before, runned AVG in normal and safe mode, but no results.
Im open for new ideas on how we can solve these problems and determine the cause before I deliver it to Zepto.
Zepto did by the way release a new BIOS-version 15. october, they haven't mentioned it to me, but maybe I should try to update BIOS?
ftp://ftp.zepto.dk/Notebooks/Mythos_A15/BIOS/3331/
If I want to try and reinstall all drivers do I then need to uninstall them first?
chkdsk /f still found no errors, I will give chkdsk /r a new try later.
Todays logged bluescreen is attached. .dmp-file BCCODE: 0x7e
