I've installed lenovo & microsoft updates. Vista goes into BSOD every few hours.

I haven't run any hardware tests (memory, hdd, processor) under Rescue & Recovery, but I wonder if somebody is having a similar problem. Any ideas?

This is what shows up on the screen when it boots up after the crash:

Maybe this will help-
Find Windbg from Microsoft (Google it to find latest download link). Get either the 32 or 64 bit version of Windbg depending on which Vista OS you're using.
Open the dmp file you referenced in your post using Windbg, and then run this command:
!analyze -v
Hopefully it should give you running start on which module caused the failure somewhere in the output for that command. You can then look up that file and see what it does and look for an update for it from Lenovo (for example if it is an Nvidia file they may have a video driver update). If it belongs to something non-essential you might try to disable whatever software uses it and see how your machine gets by without it.

What are your system specs?
