Hi

When you format a drive, it doesn't delete data, it more "marks" the files to be overwritten, so Alcohol 120 will still be there, just not seen.

Wipe your disk completely with DBAN: http://www.dban.org/download
Chose the one For CD and DVD media

Download ImgBurn: http://www.imgburn.com/index.php?act=download and use it to burn the .iso of DBAN so it's bootable

Running this will wipe absolutely everything off the drive. It writes all the sectors as 0.

BSOD is usually hardware related. Is the PC under warranty?
Are there any error codes on the Blue Screen?
Knowing the PC specs would be of help.
