ahem

ALWAYS give exact detials when asking for hardware/bug help! :)

ie

operating system (Xp, Vista or windows 7, 64 bit?)
exact motherboard type
RAm (which you note)
Video card

Such stuff helps to know! :)

Latest nvidia driver is 260.99 for my card, I assume you are talking about Nvidia card? maybe your driver has bugs so get latest one?

really important point for folk to know:

Motherbaords have chipsets, it's vital to update those as WELL (before you update anything else if possible), but, it's sometimes trickier than just updating typical Windows drivers, and if done wrong or they have bugs...ugh...mayem!
So you should always check the manufacturer's website for latest updates

note, BIOS and CHIPSETS are different, don't update BIOS unless ye know what yer doing and appreciate the risks, again though it can fix major problems.

hope that helps :)
