My PC got a BSOD when running an exe, it was a c0000a12 "unknown hard error".

Someone recommened getting intel rapid storage so I did, rebooted and got iastor.sys error and 0x0BE.

Reboot again and got 0x01E twice and a 0x0D1.

I put all my overclock back to default thinking it was an issue, had been overclocked for 2 months no issues.

Ran malware bytes and it picked up 12 infections, a couple of trojans in mem module/file and registry.
Cleaned them up and rebooted again.

I ran avast and it found viruses so I removed them.

In between this I had random 0x0A blue screens as well.

Upon gettng back into windows and running avast it has detected a rootkit that avast will not get rid of.

I have ran TCF/Gmer malware/avast over and over. Avast did a boot scan and it found loads of infected files in appdata/java and few other places. Deleted all of them.

I try and run scans again and end up getting 0x0A errors now near the end of scans.

I tried to follow that but it doesnt appear to be removing it at all, ran DDS just now and it caused my pc to bsod again.

Did notice odd service running that tried to remove called AppleChargerSRV as well.

I figure its getting to the point I'm going to need to reinstall everything, my concern is how much would it have effected?

C: is my SSD so had windows and 2 games few other apps, E and F is for music/tv/movies etc..

The exe I ran that caused the first bsod was on F:, would this virus/rootkit have infected all my drives? If not reinstall is not an issue.
 
Yeah reinstall is the best option. If you want to save any files id reinstall to different hard drive then carefully access the infected drive after a scan on the new fresh os. After files retrieved just clean the drive. But dont just format unallocate the partition table and reassign so that the boot sector is totally wiped clean then format. You could even do a 14x zero write to be on the safe side if you really wanted.
 
how do i unallocate the parition table and reassign? Just on the windows Installer where its asking me "where do you want to install?"
 
On the "Where do you want to install Windows?" page, click Drive options (advanced).

You will then see more options, select the partition that you want to change and click delete, this will remove the partition and you will then have unallocated space, select that and then click "new", this will create a new partion for your install
