Default [Pending] Continuos BSOD even after fresh install XP

hi, i was having tons of problems with my XP installation, for example it was giving me a continuos BSOD : UNMOUNTABLE_BOOT_DRIVE, and a few IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL, so i decided to do a clean fresh installation of XP.

and so i did. after installation i installed the neccessary drivers. i.e VIA 4 in 1, the AC97 realtek drivers and of course the Nvidia drivers. i also installed IE7 and Media player 11, and Norton internet security 2007

ok so everything was fine until all of a sudden, while browsing firefox i got a BSOD, it was DRIVER IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL, so obviously it was a driver, but since i wasnt doing anything special, just browsing i didn't know what might have cause it. so i just ignored it for a while, until it came back, this time it was a simple IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL, and that was after i played a game.
i constantly tried to find what the hell the problem was, i ran Memtest and it found no errors, i did Chkdsk and found no errors. so i decided to see if the Via drivers were faulty, after reading that some of them cause problems with nvidia drivers. so i did a little sniffing around and found out that i had installed version 5.11A, which i downloaded from their site, and in their official driver site viaarena.com it states there(although its not too obvious) that the drivers are known to make problems with certain sound cards etc etc.
obviously i was mad, because when i downloaded it there was no note saying this. anyways i downloaded their latest driver : 5.12 and tried to update it, and that wasnt easy at all. so i updated it, everything was fine.....until i opened up Pro Evolution Soccer, just as i pressed "start match" poof BSOD, with it telling me that nv4_drvr.dll caused it, so knowing that this is concerning the nvidia driver, i read that i might need to reinstall it again. so i rebooted and then windows just wont open up, it would go to the Welcome screen show me the desktop and then poof BSOD, this time different every time: once it was : SPBBCDrv.sys, it was also PAGE_FAULT_IN_NONPAGED_AREA, and SRTSP.sys. so i was just fed up, i opened up safe mode and tried to do system restore, but it wouldnt work, after opening it up it would tell me "System restore has caused a problem and has shut down bla bla bla "send or dont send", so i tried again, this time the error came a little later, so i tried again, this time i did it fast and i managed to restore it to a few days ago.

so now i am still stuck with the old 5.11 drivers, which i know are ****, and no way of knowing when the next BSOD will come next

if any of you have any ideas or know that there are issues with something i installed please enlighten me....i'm all out of ideas and im this close to doing a fresh install all over again o_O.

thnx

P.S i attached the dump files, all the dump files i have uploaded happened yesterday !!!..
i have 11 of them but i only upladed a few, if you want the rest just tell me o_O

UPDATE :

i decided to dig a bit inside event viewer and i noticed that before every 1001 event, (the BSOD) there is an error event, i click the properties and i get this description :

The driver detected a controller error on \Device\Harddisk1\D.

now there are two of these, both of them event 11 and right after that theres the savedump and eventlog,

so as far as i know theres probably a problem with the drivers for the SATA/RAID or whatever....am i right ? and if so should i disable them ? or should i install a previous version...?
