the nvidia installer offers an option to do a clean install. is that just as good or should i do what you have already recommended?

It does not hurt to try and test a clean install first. You can always retry with driversweeper if that does not succeed...
still BSOD after disabling DVD drive and clean install of video drivers, though that was with nvida's installer. i wll try the other method tomorrow, heres the dumps
clean install using driversweeper still BSOD, borrowed a 450GTS from my friend going to swap cards and see if problem persists
the other card had the same effect so i assume the gpu is not the problem. and yes i wiped all drivers before i installed the 450
here are the dumps
strange, no real answer here yet except that your system is still looking for Plug and Play drivers for something...
Is there something that you connected recently that you can match to the start of the problems?
no, i haven't
Looking through all the dumps with so many different codes, the next best thing to do is some extensive mem testing:
Download a copy of Memtest86 and burn the ISO to a CD using Iso Recorder or another ISO burning program.
Boot from the CD, and leave it running for at least 5 or 6 passes.
Just remember, any time Memtest reports errors, it can be either bad RAM or a bad motherboard slot.
Test the sticks individually, and if you find a good one, test it in all slots.

This will take 4-6 hours...
tested both sticks (individually of course) in both slots for at least 6 passes with no errors.
