Ok, well, I'll try to describe my problem as good as I can:
It all started a few months back, when firefox started to chrash often and randomly. First, I thought it was a virus, but after several scans with different antivirus programs, I thought that it was something else. I didn't figure anything out, so I started to ignore it. Then, a month later, other applications than firefox started to crash randomly. Again I searched for viruses, but didn't find any. Sometime after this I started to get some Blue screens of death when playing swg, but those was mostly solved by swg support. Anyways, a month ago, I started to get some bluescreens on other games (randomly, it could work for days without problem, and then a sudden BSoD). Now, this last week, it has gone so far, that almost all applications and games either crashes without error, or with error (randomly, but too often). I also get random bluescreens, both ingame and when just surfing the web or listen to music.

Here are the errors that I get on a BSoD:
IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL ------ Is this related to faulty RAM?
PAGE_FAULT_IN_NONPAGED_AREA
Something about NV4_disp.dll ---- I think this is related to my nvidia card, right?
And a error with both the nv4_disp.dll and PAGE_FAULT_IN_NONPAGED_AREA.

So, now I need help, I think that it is either related to my RAM or graphics card. (or both.) But I don't know for sure.

At last, here is my system specs:
Processor: AMD Athlon(tm) II X2 245 Processor, MMX, 3DNow, ~2.9GHz
Video Card: NVIDIA GeForce 9500 GT
Operating System: Windows XP Home Edition (5.1, Build 2600) Service Pack 3 (2600.xpsp.080413-2111)
Motherboard: ASRock K10N78D

And please note: All drivers is up to date, and I have reinstalled my graphics card 2 times.

Whats the graphics card update version?

258.96

Also, the game that is giving most bluescreens is Assassins Creed 2 (it also CTD often with no errors)
And when playing Empire total war, It CTD almost everytime I try to load my game. (with the error "Empire.exe has encountered a problem and needs to close")
Already tried reinstalling them.

As said earlier, other games crashes too, but not as often as those.)

Unplug the internet
restart your computer
run your anti-viruses Full scan (with the internet unplugged still)
If it finds anything, run it again (repeat this until no viruses are found)
restart you computer
plug in the internet cable


80% of Blue Screens of Death are caused by viruses. One of the best ways to remove them is what i just said.

note: this will take more than 5 hours to scan.

Did it, found only 1 virus that I removed. Did the scan again, and the virus was gone. But I keep getting those problems though.
A new thing that I run into now when I'm on youtube is this "The Adobe Flash plugin has crashed". But it's not a big problem, just need to reload the page to fix it. But it happens alot.
