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?

Gateway P-7915u. I'll run some anti-viruses. Uninstalled it a while ago since I usually get rid of these things once I've used them.

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. :(

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

5GB of Hard Drive Space or more (14GB or more preferred)

Graphic Display

3D video chipset with pixel and vertex shader model 1.3 supported. GeForce 4 Ti4200 64MB or ATI™ Radeon™ 8500 64MB or newer for Windows XP. For Windows Vista and 7, a GeForce FX 5200 128MB or ATI Radeon 9500 128MB or newer is needed.

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.

Just had another question. Would using 768 MB cards instead of 1 GB cards change the performance a lot? I would prefer to go with the 768 MB cards, since it means I save a lot of money and let me use SLI from the beginning, but I'm worried it might affect the performance a lot.

That's very interesting. I think I'll go with a build like that. Two GTX 460 cards are supposed to give a huge advantage, and the AMD 955 isn't so different from the 965.

It's a nice price, but I'm not sure if I like the reviews that much. 46% 1 egg rating doesn't sound too great. I think I'm close enough to the budget now that you don't need to worry about saving too much money. Anything under 100 dollars should be fine I think. Also, what do you think of the Antec Three Hundred? For only 20 dollars more it seems like a good case.

Well, if you guys are sure the rosewill challenger will keep everything cooled nicely and will have enough room for me to upgrade later, I'll go with it. Any recommendations for the PSU? :)

I thought the Obsidian 700D would give me room to upgrade, and since I got it on a combo deal with the PSU I figured it would be a good idea.
