BSOD while randomly playing games(ATI Radeon HD 4250)

[SaphrisStar25]

I'm having problems ever since I've gotten this computer.. I'm just now trying to find a solution for it though lol (had the computer for about 2 years now). Everything was bought brand new and put together by the customer support in Fry's.
Anyways, I'm trying to figure out what's going on with this thing, cause it doesn't always crash repeatedly at the same spot. its just randomly. sometimes going days without doing it. I'll always hear the last sound that it was playing before it crashed (like it's stuck on that one spot), then it's the blue screen of death. the bsod is super huge when it comes up, and when i look at it, all it seems to have is all these 00000's things with an x inbetween them at some point. but no other numbers but 000's .
When I used to have a nvida graphics card, it did the same thing, only more so. the ati graphics card is an onboard graphics card (Gigabyte with a 3d turbo thingy) but since i'm not used to the on board graphic settings, i've never messed with it. and i know it states it can be overclocked but i never tried (mainly because I dont understand what it does, and in my experience it is never a good thing to mess with something that i dont understand lol).
when the system starts back up it will bring up the do i want to start in safe mode, etc screen, then will tell me windows has recovered from a serious crash or something of that nature and ask me if i want to submit it for analysis and check for a solution... which i do. and nothing ever comes back.
Thanks in advanced for any help given!

EDIT: fyi, i stopped using the nvida due to not the crashes but it started sounded like a VERY loud fan sound (funny story on how i finally located the sound after thinking it was one of my big fans on the tower lol!). (I knew a lot more about the nvida graphics card... i dont know jack about this ati onboard one lol!)
Also the games i've been playing recently that it's happened on is SPORE, and MySims-full screen modes- and lowest graphic settings.

Your display driver is very old.

start             end                 module name

Update your ATI/AMD display driver.
You can get it from the link in our forum, http://www.sevenforums.com/graphic-...alyst-video-driver-windows-7-a.html#post17671, or you may go to AMD Graphics Driver and Software and opt for Automatically Detect and Install the appropriate driver for your card.

During installation, you may opt for advanced installation, and install the display driver only, not the Catalyst Control Center.

Thanks so much! I'm now up to date in that (i was using the device manager asking it to update it when it told me that it was up to date, lol-obviously it didn't know)
So far, that issue hasn't happened since I've updated, thanks again!

Hmm... okay I'll give it another shot, thanks again!!
(ps. just updated "my system specs")

EDIT: it's not compatible with my graphics card.
I looked here, under the "AMD Product Compatibility "and i didn't see mine. which is
ATI Radeon HD 4250
http://support.amd.com/us/kbarticles/Pages/AMDCatalystSoftwareSuiteVersion1210ReleaseNotes.aspx

I looked at the BETA one too, but it wasn't compatible either..
