Dimension 5100 problem

Question

My Dimension was working fine for two years.  after one day where I had too many programs running at the same time, the blue screen of death appeared.  it wasn't the first time I saw it, though.   but after this one, the computer screen started to get real glitchy.  I'll be running itunes and after five minutes, the screen becomes glitched with these small rectangular bars forming over the screen.  when I play a computer game, the blue screen of death comes out again just a few seconds after launching.      I scanned the memory with memory tests, including the extended tests.  and everything read out fine. I tried to update my intel chipset online, but an error would pop out. one time bsod comes up again and the some of the stop codes were 0x0000008E, C0xC0000005, 0xBF907401, 0xA9863388, 0x00000000. and something occured with win32k.sys also.    I know that it's not a virus.  I've scanned my computer multiple times.  Is there something wrong with my intel 82945g chipset?  or my memory?  If so, then do I need to buy new replacements if they're damaged?  or is there any way that I can fix it?

Boot to the dell diagnostics, which it sounds like you know how to do?  Run the Hard Drive tests as well.
