Windows 7: BSOD/video crash

getgnarly · 16 Dec 2010

My computer runs anywhere from 5 minutes to 2 hrs. Sometimes it will bluescreen, more often the display will mess up, and nothing refreshes. Sometimes when it messes up windows will display that my video driver has stopped working. I play Final Fantasy XIV and Fallout: New Vegas, brand new games, and it runs them fluidly.

I'm not a tech and don't know how to properly troubleshoot this, i would really appreciate some help. Thanks guys!
