Video codec malware infection. HELP!

I got the video codec malware infection that's been going around recently. It contained the XP Antivirus 2008 rogue and the Zlob trojan, along with a host of other viruses. Neither McAfee nor SBS&D could effectively remove the programs. S&D would report them as being removed, but the files would continue to appear on future searches. I just tried running S&D in safe mode. About 10% into the scan, the S&D client displayed a "Scan aborted by user" message. Seconds later my system blue screened. Now my computer won't start up. It powers up, the LED lights up, but nothing appears on my screen and I get no beeps. Where should I go from here?
 
Anyone have any suggestions?

Download and install TrendMicro HijackThis
* Once installed open HijackThis by clicking Start > Programs > HijackThis and click the button labeled
Do a system scan only

* Click the scan button in the lower left hand corner of the interface and HijackThis will quickly scan your system.
* Once the scan is complete the scan button will now read save log. Click this button to save the log file to your PC. Once you select where you would like to save the file it will open in your systems default text editor. Typically this application is Notepad. Post the log here.
