Vista Help
Hi everyone, first time poster here, and believe me this was my last resort, I have wrecked my brain for the past week, and alone today for 4 hours, so I am asking you guys for some assistance.

Problem:
I can not run any 3d game for more than 3 minutes without a crash to the ever so nice to look at, blue screen of death.

Current Computer Information:
Operating System: Windows Vista Buisness
Ram: 2gb
Video Card: GeForce 7950 GX2
Storage: WDC WD25 250 GB
CPU: AMD 64 X2 4600+
Motherboard: ASUS Lifestyle M2N-E

Errors I am receiving:
Upon reaching Blue Screen of death I am receiving an assortment of errors, some of the ones I have recorded include the.
0x000000c1
0x000000c2

Which from googling I believe mean I have a faulty driver, and the GPU is trying to write information in space that it shouldn't.

What I have tried:
Wipeing and reinstalling drivers
Updated Windows with everything, including optional patches
Updated Graphics Card Driver
Slowed down my ram through BIOS
Changed the ram from duel channel to single channel in BIOS
Updated Directx 10.0 from Microsoft
Called XFX customer support, (friendly but clueless about the matter)
using the run command to verify all the drivers to see which one is faulty (to make sure it was the video card) results are inconclusive.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

If there is anything that anyone needs from me such as information about my machine or whatnot, I will be happy to post it.

Thank you guys for your time, and I hope I can fix it soon.

P.S. even if you do not know what is exactly wrong with the problem, or have a solution, any information regarding the subject would be nice

Update: Just recieved a new error saying that nvd3dum.dll is to be fault, researching it.
Update: Just received a new error saying that Shark.dll is to be of fault.
