I think I will just replace graphics with Nvidia , then update all drivers, what do ya reakon? I need a sure fire fix no time for try and see....

If you have a suitable Nvidia video card then go for it.

I would also update the device drivers.

pci.sys can be caused by hardware, or it's drivers
disconnect all external devices to start with (usb devices also)

at what moment are you getting this? during install, or normal power up?
during power up, you could try a repair install : http://www.sevenforums.com/tutorials/681-startup-repair.html
