Blue Screen

I have a Dell XPS 710 H2C. Any help would be excellent.  Everytime I play Rainbox Six Vegas 2 and try to alt-tab out of the game or even quit the game I get that annoying blue screen.  I've already updated my drivers for my video card. Which is the Nvidia 8800 GTX.  But I still have the issue, anyone have any cxlue what I can do next.?

    I've downloaded the latest driver from that website already and I still get the BSD.

     

    I was thinking of calling Dell on Monday to see what else they can offer as a solution.

     

    Would it be that I'm running out of memory?  would it do any good if I installed Win xp 64 bit?

     I currently have 4gb of ram installed

    Another thing to do is try rolling back the driver.

    That message means a driver is causing the system to pause indefinitely. This might be caused by a faulty video card, faulty driver or a bug in the games itself.

    The first thing to do is update your driver to the latest version. Download it from here:

    That's most certainly not the case, you've more than enough RAM to run pretty much anything. Have you tried patching the game to the latest version?

    Actually the bsd was showing up before I updated the driver, and its still there after I updated.

    Hi, you can use the Dell Crash Analysis Tool to find out, what the cause of the bluescreen. You can download it from www.support.dell.com , Select Technical support and search with the keyword "crash analysis tool". Download the "Dell Crash Analysis Tool, v.1.0.0.5 (EMT), A04" and try to run it.

    Actually I tried to run it and it ends up basically telling me its the graphics card.  Therefore after that I tried d/ling the update and still no luck.
