You need a higher standard of evidence. A buffer overflow could root your computer.

Also, I don't believe that you've never downloaded anything - can you show us a screenshot of your installed software?

The login came from Google HQ - even if my PC was compromised, it wouldn't matter since gmail uses data from their data center not my PC.
How do you know the IP is from Google HQ? Google has free Wi-Fi in Mountain View, and it seems reasonable that those IPs would be somehow connected to Google.
Then why mention that your PC can't have been compromised?

You're making a big accusation, and I want to see some more evidence. You claimed never to have downloaded anything, which is unlikely to say the least.

1. Can you provide the screenshot of installed apps?

2. Also, let's see the full ip.

Because it was my first thought when I've saw the unusual login alert.

I won't show the full IP until I can mirror that report somehow.
