I recently started receiving the ctd "kernel.dll" 3days ago

. Playing GWX3 Gold with mods activated=16km Atmosphere, Alternate Loadscreen-Full Circle, Enhanced Damage Effects, Late War Sensors Snorkel Antenna, No Medals on Crew, Open Hatch Mod. Direct installs mods are, Thompsen's sound pack v3.2 combined with DSBM for SH3, Aces Combined SH3 sdl.v2, b25 SF Grass Full v2, Crash Dive 20 Metres, Torpedo Damage Final v2.0, Umark, Red Night map filter. JSGME Enabled are Type VII Black and White and Grey MK2 skin, Thompsen's Interiors, GWX_DFa-Flag&Pens_2010, GWX_Rafael DSK Gui, LifeBoats&Debris_v4, Depthcharge Shake v2.01, Waterstream+Exhaust combiV2.3, Renown replacement. Ships I've added Empress of Britain, Gustloff, Queen Elizabeth, Queen Mary, SS Rex. The game runs fine with original GWX3 mods activated. One of these mods recently added is the straw that broke the camels back

. It crashes now when about to enter the English Channel and North of England when uboat gets close to terrain and time compression is 128, FPS is 40-48 and "CTD" even when I lower to 32 on time compression

. I have HP-laptop from 2007 been playing SH3 since.

Windows Vista Home Premium, 32-bit(service pack2)

6.0.6002 Service Pack 2 Build 6002
Amd Turion 64 X2 TL-60, 2000 Mhz, 2 Core(s), 2 logical processors
Installed Physical Memory=RAM 3.0GB
Total Physical Memory=2.94GB
Available Physical Memory=1.90GB
Total Virtual Memory=6.09GB
Available Physical Memory=5.12GB
Page File Space=3.23GB

NVIDIA GeForce 7150M/nForce 630M
core clock=425Mhz
memory interface=32-bit
total available graphics 1071 MB
dedicated video memory 0 MB < Yeah, I know but still ran without stuttering on FPS.
shared system memory 1007 MB

I have all drivers updated, disabled certain programs on startup which i don't use at all except the windows of course. Also, lowered the settings on pre-rendered fps rate NVIDIA. EVEN A COOLING PAD THE SIZE OF CAR RADIATOR FAN UNDER LAPTOP to keep it the coolest as possible, cleaned out the exhaust vents on laptop also so it breathe better.
I thought maybe something got corrupted so I ran Norton 360 on boot, Windows Defender, I've even reset my computer to original cleaned out garbage programs, disk cleanup, defragmented, reinstalled SH3, reinstalled GWX3.0 Gold, added the mods mentioned above and now crashes with Sound Act file, with same time compression mention above.

Sorry for making this long but just get an Idea of what I've done and haven't done!. The key is I think I got to take step backwards undoing what I've done to the SH3, mod by mod and trial & error play until it stops crashing! It maybe the mods or ships added or I maybe pushing the limits of what my computer handle or pushing SH3! Good Luck
