Well, it all started about a month or so ago where I would be on the computer/playing a popular MMO "World of Warcraft" and my computer would freeze and it would gather itself but everything turned VERY large and a "Driver" Stoped responding...I kind of forget, I nudged it off thinking it wasnt that big of a deal since I could restart it and it would be fine.. BUT just yesterday I was playing and it took a crap again, I didnt think anything of it so I restarted it and got....
STOP: 0X0000000A, (0x00012FF74,0x00000002,0X00000000,0X804E893F)..... The next day after my father system restored it ( and it didnt work) He got the following blue screen error AFTER restoring it.
STOP: 0X0000008E (0xC0000005, 0X806373FD, 0XF75C799C,0x00000000)

Saying "Try changing Video Adapters"
Begining dump of physical memory...

Now, I searched the web and really got no help on other forums so I would like to know if ANYONE has a solution, not someone saying that they have the current issue considering that gets me absolutely no where. A little more information I have to add is after I had the problems on WoW and before my father restored it I installed some drives for my computer model that upgraded Help and Support from HP, Graphics update, and a Soft Modem Update. These did not help at all... Please help here, I dont really feel like going and picking out another computer... World of Warcrft cant be the problem since I have been playing this for about 3 years.
