Have you recently installed any new software? If so, just do a system restore and it should all be fine :) I remember when I downloaded some XP32 bit software for my 64bit win7, I got bluescreen each time I started up :p

Also, this can come in VERY handy

After re-reading your post it doesn't make sense that you still get it when you reinstall Vista... Do you have an old HDD? If so, try swapping em and see what happens. If it is the HDD, I would recommend buying a new one.

It could be memory. I would run memtest or try taking out memory.

It is a Memory issue.
Bugcheck 0x50 = invalid memory referenced.
