There are a couple programs that you can run that will generate information about your system, DxDiag and MSInfo32. From Start Menu, click on "Run..." to run these tools.
DxDiag has a test for your display driver under Display, click on "Test DirectDraw" and follow the instructions. After that click on "Test Direct3D" and follow the instructions. When both of those tests are done, click on "Save All information..." to a text file.
MSInfo32 has a menuItem named "Export..." under File menu that will save out your system info on a text file.
MSInfo32 can take a long time to finish if you have many programs installed. MSInfo32 took at least 5 minutes on my system to complete.
If your computer crashes during these tests, then the problem can be anything from spyware, trojans, virus, corrupted files, or overheating.
If they succeed, you can either post the two files here for everyone to see or, email them to me.
Edit: Warning!!! You should look at the information reported before you post them here. There might be information you don't want anyone to see.
Edit2: On the MSInfo32 info, any info after "[Program Groups]" is not needed to resolve your problem, so you can search for that and delete everything below it on the log file.
