Hello.. i have a MacBook Pro 15 with i7 2.66, 4gb RAM and a NVIDIA GeForce GT 330M 512MB graphics card. I bought it second hand from the internet, but now unfortunatly it has started crashing. It usually happens when i am doing multiple processes, for example having a skype call and looking a pictures (this is one of many examples!!) Do you think its a graphics card issue or.... The mac is not neccessarly hot, as it sometime occurs straight after i open it from sleeping. Please someone help, i want to be a happy mac owner :D

This is the error report:

Try re-installing the OS on it. Buying used, you have no idea what's under that hood. A fresh installation of the OS at least gives you a clean point from which you can troubleshoot - otherwise it's a total crapshoot.

If you don't have install discs, then get some.

Your Mac's Specs
MacBook 2.26 GHz Core 2 Duo 4GB RAM OSX Lion; iPad (3rd gen.) 32GB WiFi; iPod touch (3rd gen) 32G
Are you running Mountain Lion on your laptop? If so check out this article from Apple's support site: OS X Mountain Lion: If

You can probably go through the same procedures with OSX Lion as well or do a search on the support site for troubleshooting kernel panics in Lion.

Hope this begins to help.
