Macbook BSOD

[keef247]

grrr. just put 4gb ddr3 corsair xms 1066mhz niceness into my new unibody 2.4ghz macbook and it flys and i also went and got a nice samsung spinpoint 500gb for it aswell so i thought right install windows play some games... used bootcamp disc everything good.goto play games their well dodgy like GRID for example would speed up and slow down like it was running too fast then slightly too slow (NOT a gfx setting problem) so i wen't and got some new drivers from a site where you use a hacked inf file etc... all working nice yet firefox keeps crashing whenever anything video/ad related comes up i.e. youtube etc and i keep getting BSOD... PLEASE say it's NOT the ram as I HATE sending stuff back any idea what the best driver to use for my 9400M is? as the bootcamp one was well dodgy... i know i should have wrote the error down but it restarts so quick on this and i don't want to keep doing it and shaft my HDD...
any ideas? as for OS X its been rock solid honestly so I doubt it's the ram... just seems like a gay driver problem like i had with my previous dell's 8600M GT... had to use hacked drivers then as the standard vista one sucked big style...
oh and it's windows xp sp3

download and run memtest just to make sue it isn't the RAM

right gonna do that now.will it basically tell me its dodgy if it is then? or will i need to write down error codes etc:/

ok not the ram just finished a 1hr 31min test passed no errors...
so it's gotta be the drivers as i thought restarting when it finds flash/video etc...
what driver do i go for then.

i reckon it may be a heat issue.should i stop using it for windows gaming and delete the partition cause the last thing i want to do is fry my shiny new macbook.would this be under warrenty?

running x64 vista now and everything seems good with stock bootcamp disc drivers so if i get anything dodgy i'll try hacked ones but for now i'm chuffed.

Macbooks are nice pretty little things, but they're not built for functionality. Apple know they can get away with selling things on looks alone but when the internal components are poor quality, badly designed and airflow is either an afterthought or "cooling? What for?" comes to mind. Shame really, for the price you should be getting something a lot more - and spec wise they're very capable machines, it's just a shame you can't make full use of it.
