    Vista blue screens

    I posted this question earlier but never got much of an answer....

    I'm using vista home premium 64bit version for a few months now, and about a
    month ago I started having problems. About a month ago I updated my BIOS and
    downloaded several windows updates and updated my video driver and since that
    day I keep getting Blue Screens on occasion. They only seem to happen when
    I'm doing instensive activities such as installing drivers or new software or
    when I have multiple applications open and am switching between them. It has
    kind of rotated between
    3 different BlueScreens:

    kernel_data_inpage_error
    0x7A
    with the second argument being c000000E



    driver_irql_not_less_or_equal
    0xD1
    with the second argument being 0...0z

    c000021a Hard Fault/Fatal System Error
    0xc0...01

    Now I have tried many things to determine the culprit of these problems...
    I tried restoring my system
    I tried reinstalling vista
    I tried using memtest-no errors found
    I tried using chdsk-no errors found
    I have a virus scanner and it hasn't found any viruses
    I have done a fairly comprehensive search of the internet looking at
    suggestions for fixes for these problems

    My system specs are:
    OS: Vista Home Premium 64bit
    CPU: Q6600 Intel
    RAM: 4GB Crucial Ballistix PC6400
    Hard Drive: 500GB SATA Seagate
    Video Card: Nvidia 8800 GTS 320MB
    Power Supply: OCZ 700Watt GameXstream
    Motherboard: XFX 680i

    Did you get your vidoe Driver from nvidia's website or Microsoft updates?
    Use Nvidia's site.
    Did you keep a copy of your BIOS, so you could roll it back to see if that
    is the prob?

    I get the drivers from nvidia's website and I have tried rolling back my BIOS
    but that didn't help.
