NVLDDMKM.SY_ FIX!
Id hope that the admin of the forum admires my work
After lots of study into the Nvidia drivers i found that they seem to crash a lot because of a single file called
nvlddmkm.sy_ < this is the culprit of games crashing on vista.
Here is the fix:
Go to C: drive and there should be a folder marked NVIDIA this folder contains all Nvidia folders files etc just in case a rollback of the drivers is needed.
Now delete this folder containing all of the files meant for rollback. If you dont believe me make a backup of the folder then delete it from the C drive restart.
IT DOES NOT HARM ANY OTHER PART OF THE PC, i have opened many games, apps you name it, from toribash to Crysis, from Vista Aero to Photoshop. Just in case make a backup of the file onto a disk or thumbdrive.
If the deleting files does effect your pc just replace the backup files where they where. Hope i helped alot of people
because it helped me.
For ATI/AMD drivers this might be similar i do not know give it a go if there is anything similar.
Happy gaming

NEW FINDINGS!!!
I have now found that in assistance to deleting those files download the latest motherboard driver updates. Causes i have found are in motherboard issues as well as video card crashing caused by the motherboard. New drivers fix issues with the motherboard therefore getting rid of the crashing.
thankyou also happy gaming once again
