    The problem for it is that the video driver for some reason isn't working and causes bsod.

    The gpu is the Geforce Go 7400, and I've tried reinstalling the driver many times, but to no avail. I also was looking around google and found that it might be a mobo problem, but I'm not sure, so I was helping someone here could help me.

    I think your graphics card is probably dying and/or dead. This is indeed a motherboard issue, and you will need to replace said motherboard as the GPU is soldered to the motherboard. It looks like a new board will cost somewhere around $150 to $200, so it may or may not be worth fixing...
