It is an online scanner? The computer is offline. I have to install the ESET program. MSE won't work because it needs the latest definition updates and the PC is offline and it needs to be online to download them.
 I am attaching my logs because I don't have access to another computer for a while, have to post logs with my phone, so it is necessary I attach them for the time being. I don't know how to copy and paste on a phone, which is a Tracphone LG Rebel.

Also, the computer is offline, getting more random (less often) CPU/RAM usage spikes, sometimes when it needs to cool down, at a warm temp (just warm), and, sometimes randomly. Getting slightly better, CPU usage around 80%, RAM usage around 90%, not better by much.

Clearing my desktop off, clearing off the clutter, I tried to move two folders in one I created, I got an error saying it was being used by a program or a file was open in it when that was not the case.

Also, getting random lag. The PC is offline, try to scan with ESET offlne, doubtful, though. Will try to get to WiFi though, getting battery soon.

Plus, because of the bad battery, I can't take it to wifi and the outlets are almost always took up. I use the AC cord. My cell phone hotspot (diffrent phone) is too slow, left data on, now 2G, also not enough data on it.
Getting ESET setup file...
Sorry if it is seems like I am not cooperating, just trying to be helpful.

My music files aren't going bad or becoming 0 bytes anymore. But... now the computer is freeing up storage itself and that makes me worried. Note: My processor is actually a Intel Core 2 Duo P9400 2.53 Ghz, not a T9400.

Please stop talking to yourself. The way the forum works is you post once and then you wait for a response. Then you post again. You are VERY annoying.

You will need to go on-line to get ESET to work.

I just got a BSOD a few minutes ago. First one I have had while this PC is mine (given to me three or four months ago). And, in case you are going to ask, I forgot to take a picture of the error message. I got the BSOD a little bit after I installed Total Commander from a setup file on my phone plugged into the computer via charging cord. Booted into safe mode after BSOD. Turns out that PUP on the computer last week resurfaced in the same location, cleaned it in safe mode. And, I deleted the source folder a week ago for it, after I cleaned it the first time, folder on some of my flash drives still, think got in that way when I plugged my flash drives into the PC. At least I think. Uninstalled Total Commander when I booted into safe mode after the BSOD, booted into normal mode again.

Two BSODs in a row! One in normal mode, surfing the web, another in safe mode, trying to find the problem. The one in normal mode's error was SYSTEM_SERVICE_EXCEPTION, and the one in safe mode I didn't get a chance to get a picture of the stop codes, but remembered the error from the first one. I deleted a file I downloaded in Chrome in safe mode. It happened about an hour or two in in normal mode, about after 15 - 20 minutes into safe mode. Sorry if it seems like I am repeatedly posting, but I think I should report a BSOD.

Also, I get completely random freeze-ups, completely random lag, and completely random touchpad freeze-ups

Download BlueScreenView to your desktop.
BlueScreenView
unzip downloaded file and double click on BlueScreenView.exe to run the program.
when scanning is done, go to EDIT - Select All
Go to FILE - SAVE Selected Items, and save the report as BSOD.txt
Open BSOD.txt in Notepad, copy all of the content, and paste it into your next reply.

There is no English download option, unfortunately. I speak English.

Just above the language selections there are three links for English downloads.

Thanks. I couldn't find that when I posted.

Also, I forgot to mention something. It seems whenever I get a new program or execute any new non-system .exe file, it seems to trigger off a BSOD lately. Two out of three were just after a new program installation, or non-system new .exe file execution. Will try the BSOD tracker like thing you mentioned (I don't know what else you call it), hope it doesn't trigger a BSOD.

(P.S. I remember one of the stop codes when I got the BSOD in safe mode. There were three, one was 0x00000003, I think one was 0x00000001, but not sure about the 0x00000001, and another one I didn't get a chance to read. All of there were in the BSOD that happened in safe mode.

Should I do the 64-bit zip file, the plain .zip file (the one that dosen't say whether it is 32 or 64 bit), or the one with full install/uninstall support?

I am referring to BlueScreenView.exe

Check your system to determine if it 32 or 64 bit.

BSOD's are almost always caused by a hardware issue.

I know my system is 64 bit. Do you want me to do the full install/uninstall one or the zip file?
