In the end, the free MS support may perhaps be a way.

I am sure you have run the Systems File Checker Tool and checked if there was something it couldn't fix, which could provide a clue in case software related.

I turned on my Vista Firewall, checked it did not say I wasn't using the recommended settings, then turned off my 3rd part firewall and virus protection. That helped for me. You may also want to disable other memory resident non-MS programs.

You are not saying exactly what happens, when the BSOD appears and what errors you get? Such info may find its way to some hardware wizzard who can interpret.

I haven't ran the system update readiness tool. I tried downloading it once and the download got interupted or something so it never finished. I am downloading it again now. As for Resolution 2, I have gone through that page word by word and no luck. Systems file checker I ran also and it had one error that couldn't be fixed but I will run it again so I can find out exactly what error it is giving me and post it here. Give me a like an hour to run it and post my updated results.
