Blue Screen Error Caused by a Device or Driver

I'm new to thsi site so I don't know if this has been covered before.
I have the Sony Vaio PCV-RS 520 tower that I purchased from Best Buy in 2004. I didn't realize until last year that the HD was partitioned into the C and D drives. At that point I moved most evey user program that had been added to the D drive and photos to an external USB drive.
Two things.

I've been getting messages that say my "C" drive is almost full and to move or delete files.

Also my computer screen has flashed and changed the graphic to a huge font. Then the computer is directed to Microsofts Window Erro Reporting site where it has asked me to download an updated VGA driver. I didn't write it down but tried to download but every attempt pulled up drivers and updates with "0" or no size for the download.

Now I have a Blue Screen Error.

Not sure where to start. Any help?

Most probably your system may have been attack by malware. That's why you lost important system files such as device drivers, which is the VGA driver. If you still can open and run windows, try to intall an updated antivirus and run a scan. But If you can't access windows anymore, but still can access safe mode or safe mode with command prompt, then try the system restore. For last resort, back your hard disk drive and reformat it then reinstall windows or what ever OS your using.
