Ok, so i was watching an old dvd i found (Gothika) and a few minutes into the movie my computer crashed. It restarted and vista blamed Nvidia graphics drivers for the problem. neither windows update, hp, or Nvidia had an updated driver. I decided to try and finish the movie, and as it was about to end, literally less than a minute left, and it crashed again, same problem as before. What confuses me is that i have watched hours of recorded tv with no problem but this is the first dvd i watched. I have now switched my card from balanced mode to performance mode to help take off the load (less quality, more performance), but does anybody have any other suggestions?

I am getting a laptop cooler within the next few days here is a link to the product
