BSOD new or old video card related, crashes about twice a day

[jmetcalfe84]

Computer is running windows 7 ultimate 64 bit. Started having graphic card problems a few months ago (kept shutting down pc probably from overheating due to the fan not working properly). Originally came with a Nvidia Geforce 9600 gs card.

I replaced it last month with a ATI Radeon HD 7750 and I might have not uninstalled all of the old Nvidia drivers or software correctly when switching over. There is still a Nvidia driver under my programs that I can't get rid of. Not sure if any of this has to do with the Random shutdowns or video card errors. I have attached the most recent dmp file. Trying to figure out what to do from here.

Thanks in advance!
