I think I am infected

And by that I mean my computer. Fairly new machine running windows 7 RC.

First thing that happened was a strange sudden reboot and a ram r/w check failure. I was able to reboot back into windows with no problems. Then the blue screens started. Now firefox is crashing like mad. I ran spybot and it gave me a message "spybot has been changed which means you should scan for viruses and malware now!" Spybot found a few entries and removed them. The first time I ran Avast! it blue-screened. I did a normal scan over everything and it came back fine. I'm doing a thorough scan because I do not believe things to be fine.

I also have a HijackThis log if anyone can decipher it. The only other clue I have that leads me to believe I am infected was a brief error message Spybot gave me on some file. It flashed for only a second but I was able to make out "trojan.csid"

No clue what it is or means but as of about 6 pm today my computer started going batshit.

    Suggesting this because you mentioned a RAM error in your post. Download and run memtest86 overnight, faulty ram makes your computer act all sorts of fucked up.

    ram r/w failures + random bluescreens = bad memory 95% of the time. run memtest definitely.
