BSOD Whenever using Certain games.

Hello Everyone.

I've got an issue with my Computer, which has been plagued with errors since i built it a few days ago.
At first it would crash randomly, but after removing what i suspected to be faulty Ram, it only crashes after playing Battlefield2 or BF: Vietnam for a while, say 10 minutes. It also crashes when i try to start C&C generals.
The message it shows mentions a certain device driver attempting to corrupt.
It wont say which driver, but since it happens when i run a game, my guess is that its the GEforce 6200 LE Vid card i have. But i want to be sure.
This problem began after a day of running this computer. What i dont get is that games like world of war craft and dawn of war:dark crusade run perfectly on here. I've run Memtest, checked the disk and defragged. Still no change.

Heres some specs:
AMD Althlon 64 Processor 3500+
512 MB of Ram
MoBo: Asus A8R-MVP
2 Sticks of 256 Ram, One running at 160 ns, the other at 162ns.
Video card: GeForce 6200 LE Pci-e 128mb Ram.

And thats about it. If someone could look at these Minidumps and tell me what may be causing this, i would greatly appreciate it.

System specs
What model of video card do you have? Like GeForce 6800 or 7900, for example. Also, what power supply do you have?

Heh. Norton's been causing them apparently. Ironic.
I've heard of norton antivirus being a cause for related bsod's so i uninstalled it,restarted. I managed to play Battlefield: Vietnam for a good 2 hours straight afterwards which is a first, so i think the problem may have been fixed. I'll post again if it comes back but thanks for the help.
