Alright, time for an update here. I finally got her to uninstall the video drivers. Before she had a chance to restart the computer (but after the uninstall said it completed successfully), the computer crashed and restarted itself. By this point then, the drivers should be uninstalled. After it booted back up, it crashed again shortly after. After the 3rd bootup (while I had her downloading memtest), she got the popup notification from the system tray again saying that the ATI Driver has crashed. By this point, we didn't reinstall the fresh drivers, so there were no ATI Drivers installed (except the generic ones I guess). I'm not sure if this means something much worse.
Anyways, memtest is currently running. It's done about 2 passes so far and 0 errors. I'm really hoping it does error at some point. Replacing the RAM would be easy enough.
EDIT: Also, figured I'd mention that it seems to be getting worse. It's never just crashed right away like it's doing now. And it's even messing up on her in-game, see this screenshot: https://i.imgur.com/jrq2j.png. The weird thing about the screenshot is that the game was actually black for her when she took it. When she pasted it in paint though it was like that.
