I would suggest a <b>Repair Installation</b> then to see if something is doinked with the OS itself. If that doesn't work then the graphics card would be my next choice of the issue.
Try this to test the GPU:
Go to <b>Start</b> and then to <b>Run</b> and Type in <b>dxdiag</b> and then click <b>Enter</b>
At the bottom of the <b>System</b> page click on <b>Save All Information</b>
<b>Save As</b> a <b>Text file</b> and save to <b>Desktop</b>.Include this file with your next reply.
On the <b>DirectX Files</b> tab, check at the bottom of the window for any problem notes.
On the <b>Display Tab</b> click the
<b>Test DirectDraw</b> button and wait for the results.
Then click the <b>Test Direct3D</b> button and wait for the results.

In your next reply include results of each of the above steps.

Thanks for the info, i've attached the txt file. All the tests run fine, but about a minute afterwards BSOD!
