Why does my Macbook keep restarting?

Question

Hey,This is the first time I&#x27;ve posted on this forum. Ever since I&#x27;ve upgraded to Mountain Lion macbook seems to crash and restart over the simplest tasks. Especially after opening certain applications, websites like youtube and ebay, and watcing videos. It happens whether it&#x27;s plugged in or not. The fans are loud and spin at 200rpm. I&#x27;ve tried almost everything besides a clean install and a genius visit. I posted the latest crash report below. Any help would be greatly appreciated!Interval Since Last Panic Report:  135017 secPanics Since Last Report:          16Anonymous UUID:                    696A1F40-5A15-EBF3-3A6B-AF84969EE746Wed Jan  9 17:12:54 2013panic(cpu 2 caller 0xffffff7f8f56fb25): NVRM[0/1:0:0]: Read Error 0x00000100: CFG 0xffffffff 0xffffffff 0xffffffff, BAR0 0xd2000000 0xffffff80ae118000 0x0a5480a2, D0, P3/4Backtrace (CPU 2), Frame : Return Address0xffffff807ee6b420 : 0xffffff800ee1d626 0xffffff807ee6b490 : 0xffffff7f8f56fb25 0xffffff807ee6b520 : 0xffffff7f8f6694b3 0xffffff807ee6b580 : 0xffffff7f8f669527 0xffffff807ee6b5f0 : 0xffffff7f8f97e853 0xffffff807ee6b730 : 0xffffff7f8f68f659 0xffffff807ee6b760 : 0xffffff7f8f5798da 0xffffff807ee6b810 : 0xffffff7f8f574fac 0xffffff807ee6ba00 : 0xffffff7f8f5763a2 0xffffff807ee6bad0 : 0xffffff7f8f76a15a 0xffffff807ee6bb00 : 0xffffff7f8f74de1a 0xffffff807ee6bb30 : 0xffffff7f8f74d241 0xffffff807ee6bba0 : 0xffffff7f8f74d362 0xffffff807ee6bc20 : 0xffffff7f8f75887d 0xffffff807ee6bc50 : 0xffffff7f8f76061c 0xffffff807ee6bdd0 : 0xffffff7f8f50c3c7 0xffffff807ee6be40 : 0xffffff7f8f4f657b 0xffffff807ee6beb0 : 0xffffff7f8f4f8c04 0xffffff807ee6bf00 : 0xffffff7f8f4ba39f 0xffffff807ee6bf20 : 0xffffff800f249e4a 0xffffff807ee6bf60 : 0xffffff800ee3dcde 0xffffff807ee6bfb0 : 0xffffff800eeb26b7      Kernel Extensions in backtrace:        com.apple.iokit.IOGraphicsFamily(2.3.5)[803496D0-ADAD-3ADB-B071-8A0A197DA53D]@0 xffffff7f8f4b1000-&gt;0xffffff7f8f4e8fff           dependency: com.apple.iokit.IOPCIFamily(2.7.2)[B1B77B26-7984-302F-BA8E-544DD3D75E73]@0xffff ff7f8f472000        com.apple.iokit.IONDRVSupport(2.3.5)[86DDB71C-A73A-3EBE-AC44-0BC9A38B9A44]@0xff ffff7f8f4f4000-&gt;0xffffff7f8f505fff           dependency: com.apple.iokit.IOGraphicsFamily(2.3.5)[803496D0-ADAD-3ADB-B071-8A0A197DA53D]@0 xffffff7f8f4b1000           dependency: com.apple.iokit.IOPCIFamily(2.7.2)[B1B77B26-7984-302F-BA8E-544DD3D75E73]@0xffff ff7f8f472000        com.apple.NVDAResman(8.0)[A4C53A36-22B6-3075-82B9-9DE612A9C015]@0xffffff7f8f508 000-&gt;0xffffff7f8f80afff           dependency: com.apple.iokit.IOPCIFamily(2.7.2)[B1B77B26-7984-302F-BA8E-544DD3D75E73]@0xffff ff7f8f472000           dependency: com.apple.iokit.IONDRVSupport(2.3.5)[86DDB71C-A73A-3EBE-AC44-0BC9A38B9A44]@0xff ffff7f8f4f4000           dependency: com.apple.iokit.IOGraphicsFamily(2.3.5)[803496D0-ADAD-3ADB-B071-8A0A197DA53D]@0 xffffff7f8f4b1000        com.apple.nvidia.nv50hal(8.0)[9F3D09B5-3158-3D9E-BDA3-E71576AAD3B7]@0xffffff7f8 f818000-&gt;0xffffff7f8fb3afff           dependency: com.apple.NVDAResman(8.0.0)[A4C53A36-22B6-3075-82B9-9DE612A9C015]@0xffffff7f8f5 08000           dependency: com.apple.iokit.IOPCIFamily(2.7.2)[B1B77B26-7984-302F-BA8E-544DD3D75E73]@0xffff ff7f8f472000

You have the MacBookPro6,2, the Edsel of Macs. It may be covered by this program:MacBook Pro (15-inch, Mid 2010): Intermittent black screen or loss of videoMake a "Genius" appointment at an Apple Store to have the machine tested.Print the first page of the panic report and bring it with you.Back up all data on the internal drive(s) before you hand over your computer to anyone. If privacy is a concern, erase the data partition(s) with the option to write zeros* (do this only if you have at least two complete, independent backups, and you know how to restore to an empty drive from any of them.) Don’t erase the recovery partition, if present.*An SSD doesn&#x27;t need to be zeroed.
