Hello everyone. I'm new here and in desperate need of some help.

I'm not so sure if this is the correct section, so if it isn't can a mod please move it, thanks.

Ok, on to my problem.

Whenever I try to play some sort of game that needs 3D graphics [Such as Guild Wars, WoW, and sometimes even Runescape on high detail] my computer crashes.

This normally happens:

My screen freezes.
My screen goes black.
My screen comes back and I get the following pop-up:

Sometimes this happens like 5 times in a row, kind of ridiculous.

Also, sometimes it doesn't even recover. It'll just restart itself. And, about an hour ago, it happened, and I got blue screened for the first time. It said "attempted to recover but failed" or something.

My current graphics card is: NVIDIA GeForce 8600M GS

My operating system is Vista.

I'm on an HP Pavilion notebook.

I tried calling HP but since my warranty expired, they want to charge me $100 to HELP me fix it.

Sure as hell the last time I ever buy an HP >_>.
