Ok, Well I've completely replaced that gfx card with a new "GeForce GTX 570". Wiped the drivers before installing it, placed it in, restarted, installed drivers, restarted again. Still been getting blue screens.
The last blue screen had referenced "KS.sys" on it. The bsod before that only had the STOP thing on it.
Sorry for the double post, Does my computer still have drivers on it from when I had 32 bit windows xp installed?(do drivers even carry over when reinstalling operating systems?)
I'm almost inclined to believe that whatever has given me bsods has actually left already and the damage it's left behind is the cause.
How often does completely reinstalling an operating system work, in relation to getting rid of blue screen errors?
new dumps attached.

Hello,
No drivers will carry over from the old install. A clean install will solve every software-related BSOD, unless the offending driver is installed again. However, it won't solve a hardware issue. See my post here for instructions on hardware diagnostics: https://www.sevenforums.com/crashes-d...ml#post1374417
Started off with verifier on the list. Rebooted and was only a few minutes before the first bsod. Rebooted and it bsod happend again in same amount of time.
Both pointed at kernExplorer.sys
Well that was helpful; Lavasoft Ad-Aware seemed to have caused those two. Uninstall the program for now; replace with MSE: http://www.microsoft.com/security_essentials
