Windows Kernel Mode Error............

So, I've been getting this error a lot lately, and I'm sick and tired of it. After searching the web for solutions, I've found absolutely nothing which worked. I went into the automatic update thing for my graphics drives, but it found no updates. I didn't want to mess around with system files either, until I knew what I was doing. For those of you who don't know what this error is, if I'm playing a game my screen will suddenly go black, stay black for a couple seconds, come back, and an error will pop-up saying the windows kernal mode version 187.66 has stopped responding and has recovered. After recovering, it usually keeps continuing this if I try and play the game. This means that basically, I'm sitting there watching my screen flash black every 2 seconds, and getting killed by some random monster in my game.The specs of my laptop are-

Intel Core 2 Duo Processor P8700 (2.53 ghz)

Nvidia GeForce GTX260M

4 GB RAM

Windows 7

My hardware shouldn't be underpowered for the game. According to the website, the requirements are-

CPU

Intel® Pentium® 4 1.5Ghz or AMD Athlon 1500+ or newer and faster CPU

RAM

512MB or more of RAM (Vista and Windows 7 require 1GB or more, 2GB+ preferred)

Hard Disk

Sound Drivers

DirectX compatible sound chip or onboard audio capability with the latest sound drivers

Network

Broadband Internet connection required

Please let me know if you guys have a solution, or require more information.

Get new video drivers from your laptop manufacturers website.

Do you mind telling me how to update? When I download software like DriverDetective, it says my GTX 260M Driver is not up to date, but when I try an automatic update, it says my drivers are up to date. :(

Well, I thought that had solved the problem, but now that I tried playing for more then 5 minutes, it keeps doing the same thing again. Any other ideas?
