I reinstalled Windows so there shouldn't be any old drivers, well I hope not. Sometimes if Im watching a movie or surfing the net, my screen will go black then I get the message "Windows kernel driver failed" I'm running dual monitor and this is really getting on my nerves. Ill post the cog helper results shortly.

Here's my problem maybe some of you can help. I have Windows 7 64 bit and its a fresh install. I tried to play the game then my screen would start flickering and then the game would crash. I thought it was my graphic card (GeForce 250 GTS) so I updated the newest version; tried it again and still the same problem. I've only had this card for a lil over a year and I dont want to get another one so soon. Is there anything im missing or doing wrong? let me know. Thanks.
