hi Venom,

Well this problem was similar to what i faced when i played games..but my OS
Is Vista.
The problem of sudden black out with computer freezing out made me go mad!!!
But i faced these problems only with certain games Like
Halo2,MOD:Airborne,COD4,FEAR(these games have got heavy graphics)
games like NFS Carbon and Prostreet worked great without any problem.

I have a Nvidia Geforce 8600gts Card....I posted my problems on Nvidia
support and i got good responce with great solution which solved up my
problem.
The main reason for sudden crash is....
1. Check out the latest drivers for ur graphic card(remove the old drivers
completely and install the latest ones replacing it) Latest Drivers Fix lot
of old bugs and problems.
2. Check ur Graphic card if its heating up and the Fan(or heat sink) on it
is working properlly.(card tempertaure does shoot up when playing heavy
graphic games) u will need good AIR ventilation or extra Fan to keep it in
proper tempertaure.
3. and the Blue screen ur facing is Called as Blue Screen Of Death. Check ur
Ram(replace it with another one if possible or upgrade it)

These things helped me a lot.....keep updating the games too with latest
patches available..

and still if problem continues...replace or exchange ur Graphic Card with
the Latest one.
wish u good luck.
