Ok.. I'm gonna make this short and sweet because my browser has crashed twice while trying to type this. It's obvious that my computer hates me.

Specs:
OS: XP sp1
CPU: P4 2.8GHz
RAM: 1gb CORSAIR 433 DDR on Dual Channel
MoBo: Gigahertz 875P
VIDEO: ATI Radeon 9800 Pro 128

My computer crashes on any 3d rendered game I play; new or old. Doom 3, The Sims 2, Dungeon Siege, Neverwinter Nights, etc. It either crashes on startup, or at random points during the game. It really sucks. I don't believe I have actually hit the 'Quit' button in Sims 2 yet without the game deciding for me when to stop the session.

I have tried updating my drivers for my video card, but when I run ATI's driver updating wizard, it does not detect the correct hardware in my system. WTF? I tried updating the drivers manually, and it works even worse now.

I just have no idea what to do... save for reinstalling everything.

...now Firefox is crashing every time I load it, but I think that's a different issue.
