I'm having problems with my computer freezing and at times rebooting. I've gotten an Error Caused By A Device Driver message, but don't really know how to check for problems. My screen doesn't go black, but my mouse freezes and at times the screen will turn blue and it says that the computer has been shut down to prevent damage. Then it does a count and after that it reboots. Do you have any idea what may be causing this??
