The first thing i would try is to download the latest version of your graphics driver.
The second thing would be to check for windows updates. The third would be to defrag
the hard drives. I would then try to reinstall windows over the current install.
Fourth I would check for other bios upodates for mother board, chip sets etc to flash
bios. I would also try unplugging pci cards not critical and see if that adds stability.
If all else fails, I would backup my data to the second hard drive, and then wipe
the c: drive clean with reformat and re-install windows. Finally, if none of the
above works, I would consider bringing a class action lawsuit against Bill Gates.
