Always skip to the bottom and see how the story ends...
Here is what you do. There is a little memory test utility (memtest, an HCI design).
Run this (or another memory testing program) in safe mode, eliminating the video
drivers
This tells you if it is memory or driver error.. It is a combination of both or either
really. Some memory has problem at the higher end and when you load it up because
of video games it tends to crash, plus poor, old etc. memory will failover or die.
If possible, get memory that is rated faster then your factory. This will ensure,
to a degree, that it can handle the speed, and intensitity.
If you find your memory is good, go back and run the test in regular mode and see
if it crashes. If it does, it may be the driver/card combo. I really doubt it. Might
even try to increase the memory. Sometimes you system allocates some of the memory,
and your video driver doesn't know this. Then your video driver attempts to over
right memory reserved for the system.
Oh there are several things that can cause this. Just eliminate one at a time.
