Computer Crash Problem

I recently bought a new PC from ABS. Ever since i got it, it seems to crash every once in awhile and windows crash analysis says that its one of my drivers. Since when the computer crashes it changes my screen resolution and color settings I am guessing its the video card. I have done everything! I downloaded all the recent drivers, checked forums, and even formatted my hard drive! But still it crashes every once in a while. If you could help I would appreciate it!

i meant lower down your resolution.
do you have any other old video card that you can put it in and test it. I have a feeling that it is your video card

Yes but why would i want to do that. I have a Radeon All In wonder 9700 Pro, one of the best video cards out there. Why would I switch it with some crappy 3DFX Voodo Banshee that i got with my p2 Gateway? A video card is very important!
