Guys, before i removed the sticker which was on my laptop, i saw that it said 1gb of ram but when i removed the back cover and i saw that there are two ram sticks - one is kingston 2gb and another was the default acer 1gb one.
Edit* - Also, i did a clean install of windows again and now no bsod! and its windows 7 ultimate. when i checked in device manager, only one driver was there!
Edit2 - I got a bsod, during the installation of firefox. and then again another bsod. the analysis is here -

IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL (a)
An attempt was made to access a pageable (or completely invalid) address at an
interrupt request level (IRQL) that is too high. This is usually
caused by drivers using improper addresses.
If a kernel debugger is available get the stack backtrace.
Arguments:
Arg1: 93fc01b3, memory referenced
Arg2: 000000ff, IRQL
Arg3: 00000001, bitfield :
bit 0 : value 0 = read operation, 1 = write operation
bit 3 : value 0 = not an execute operation, 1 = execute operation (only on chips which support this level of status)
Arg4: 8288bf56, address which referenced memory
