MBP 17" Kernel Panic

My MBP has been experiencing repeated kernel panics with increasing frequency over the last 2 weeks. To be more precise, it happens whenever the laptop is moved jerkily, whenever pressure is applied to the top left corner (next to the battery, under the screen joint), and (most recently), whenever I stream video online. Any idea what might be causing this? I've read that it can be related to either hardware or software.

Thanks!

Here are my specs, and below them is the log of the latest panic (in case that helps):

Thanks for the help! Yes, my software is (to the best of my knowledge) updated. I am using Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard (10.6.8 to be precise). Is there some way to correct the issue related to WindowServer?

PS. My mistake on the description - I think I got a bit confused there
