Crashes are all from your video card drivers. Read this.
Uninstall the drivers by following these instructions
Then reinstall the latest drivers.. Let me know how it goes.

update: i used driver sweeper since driver cleaner pro cost money now. I uninstalled nvidia drivers then used driver sweeper in safe mode to remove the leftover stuff. Then i got another blue screen just by browsing webpages.

BAD_POOL_CALLER is what the blue screen said.
also i attached the dump file in case anyone wants to help me solve this problem.

hi stormedelf

I think your BSODs are caused by your firewall. I'm guessing you're using Zonealarm because the file that was cited on your last dump was vsdatant.sys which is a Zonealarm system file. It's conflicting with something as I noticed your errors were on startup (userinit.exe), browsing on firefox (firefox.exe) and playing counter-strike (steam.exe). I'm guessing you were playing online? If so, the firewall is most likely your problem and I would suggest you remove Zonealarm completely. Comodo is another firewall that you could use and you can find the link to it on our 8-step virus removal guide ... http://www.techspot.com/vb/topic58138.html

Hope this helps ... if you still get BSODs afterward, attach some more minidumps and I'll have a look at them.
