Macbook Pro Constant Kernal panics and crashes

Question

For the last few weeks my MacBook has been unusable. It&#x27;s a mid 2010 MBP with core i7 cpu. I&#x27;m guessing the problem is related to the Nvidia gpu but can&#x27;t confirm. The battery is at over 1100 cycles could that cause the problem? When the problem started, I quickly reverted to OS X Lion which didn&#x27;t help.If this is a problem with the Nvidia card, I find it strange that kernel panics and crashes happen when I have gfxcardstatus set to "Integrated Only"I know the obvious step is to take it into get it diagnosed/repaired but I can&#x27;t. Any help would be very appreciated. Here are some steps I&#x27;ve already taken: PRAM/NVRAM resetSMC resetWiped hdd and reinstalled Mac OSHere&#x27;s a recent crash log I was able to pull from the machine: Thanks in advance for any help!

You have the MacBookPro6,2—the Edsel of Macs. It may have the logic-board defect that was covered by a recall program that has now ended.Residents of the EU may be entitled to warranty service for up to six years after purchase.Make a "Genius" appointment at an Apple Store, or go to another authorized service provider, to have the machine tested. The routine hardware diagnostics used by service providers do not detect the fault. There is a specific test for this issue that Apple calls "VST" (for "Video Switching Test.") Ask for it. A "Failed" result means that the fault is present.You may be quoted a price of about $300 (in the U.S.) for a "depot repair," which involves shipping the unit to a central repair facility and takes about two weeks. For that flat fee, anything found wrong with it should be fixed, not just the logic board.Sometimes the replacement part is also defective, so be prepared for that possibility. If you decide to pay for a new logic board, test thoroughly during the 90-day warranty period on the repair. Some owners have reported that they went through as many as three replacement boards before getting one that worked.If you don&#x27;t want to pay for the repair, you may (or may not) be able to work around the problem by disabling automatic graphics switching. To use the discrete graphics processor, you&#x27;ll need a third-party utility to switch to it manually.Often the problems start after an OS upgrade. If the upgrade was recent, and you have backups, then you can revert to a previous OS X version.

Read errors are memory related. You have ether got  some bad memory or not enough memory for what your running. Or you have a program using too much memory. A good place to look is in the activity monitor. Select all process and check from something using up memory. If you like you can run etrecheck post it here and someone will look at it.http://www.etresoft.com/etrecheck
