The STOP: etc. message is what I get when I put my old video card in.
The lengthier message is what I get with the new one.
Should I reinstall completely?

Well...did you run the chkdsk that was suggested in the error message? Actually, I would run chkdsk /r, not /f.../f is part of the chkdsk /r process.
I reinstall after I have tried the easier processes, particularly regarding the hard drive or file system.

I've done it the whole way through. It says "The volume appears to contain one or more unrecoverable problems."
What should I do?

Move any desired data to another means of storage...then run the appropriate hard drive manufacturer's diagnostic (long test, not the short one) on the drive...that's what I would do.

How do I do all of that? 'Cause I can't even start up. I have an external hard drive I could put it all on.

I would use the most basic technique...remove the hard hard drive, temporarily attach it to protected, working system...move the data, then run the diagnostic.
Moving data files on a system that cannot boot...has to involve a second system, at least long enough to do as I described.
Well...I'll modify that comment...those familiar with linux can use linux distros to access file data on such drives, but I am not familiar with that method.

Is it necessary to buy a whole new computer?
