Upgrading Video Card on Sony Vaio?

xcmiler707 · 11-29-2007, 05:41 PM

I'm getting a blue screen while playing a game. I've been told it's my video card and to replace it. I've updated the drivers and it only mad the game run worse. Could it be due to not enough RAM or overheating?
Or is it the video card?

Why don't you start by posting all the technical details of the blue screen. What model laptop is this and what video card is in it? Some drivers are more stable than others.
