Recently out of no where any game I try to play freezes
up on my causing me to force reboot. When I log back in
windows tells me its just recoverd from a serious error
and I submit a report resulting in:

"Thank you for submitting an error report. The Online
Crash Analysis service has processed and analyzed this
report and has determined that this crash event was
likely caused by:

NVIDIA Graphics Driver"

My GPU is a Geforce 4 Ti 4600, it has worked just fine
with windows for months without any error. I would have
thought that my graphical renders would tax windows and
my GPU much more than a game.

I've reinstalled my drivers, updated my drivers, all to
no avail.

Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

Check the system event log for the Save Dump event and post the results here
if you find a recent one.

Im not quite sure where the event log is, all i can find
is the .dll for it.
