Help! Worm or What??

Here`s the deal, I had the Sasser Worm infect my pc. Pc was shutting down, programs closing, etc. I located this Sasser worm file "avserv2.exe" and deleted it.

Here is a link to what happens and the warning window pop-up I see:

I`ve gone through the registry and deleted any signs of the worm but I still get the shutdowns and the warning window just as if I did on my old harddrive.I`ve ran 3 or 4 different malwares programs and 3 different virus scans, nothing shows up. Bought a new harddrive (wanted one anyway), new power supply and the pc still restarts on it`s own and cannot install any windows updates or load programs onto my pc without error codes and restarts. I`ve reloaded Windows Xp 3 times this past week.

I also used 2 other harddrives on 2 different motherboards and it`s the same results. Sounds crazy but it`s true. Any ideas?

Can a motherboard or the memory sticks be infected somehow?
