I think that I would probably go for an OS reinstall/repair ...
If you do use the error reporting if you track th error it may give you an idea as to the cause (driver etc.).

Usually i would point the finger at your ram! However if I were you i would try this. Do as desk build, I.E build the computer outside of your case, then you do not have to worry about getting the slots for your gpu right. If it still happens then then you can point the finger elsewhere i.e your ram.

NOTE: DUH ME to test he above out all you needto do is take of the graphics cards mounting bracket
then its a simple matter of just slotting it in without the bracket causing problems. If it slots in fine, it could be faulty ram, if indeed the problems still continues.

just another quick question.
last time i re-installed windows with only 1gb of ram instead of 2gb, it worked. but i put the other gb back in after. should i maybe try this again???

not a matter of that mate, as I do not know what make you have. However if as youy point out that it works with one module of memeory in but not the second, this would indeed point that the latter is faulty.
