When playing games the game will play for so long then a blue screen appears
with several unintelligible codes on it. When i send this message to
microsoft it always says the problem is a driver. I have installed the
latest graphics driver but I am not convinced the problem is a driver. Any
ideas.

If you can't catch the error codes, are you able to see at least the STOP
value with a short error explanation?

It's difficult to track down a solution without first knowing what the
problem is. Other places to check for clues:

Open Event Viewer: Start> Run> eventvwr.msc OR right click on My Computer
and select Manage. Click on the Applications branch in the left pane. Look
for items noted with a red or yellow marker that are date/time stamped
around the same time that you received the blue screen error. Double click
any one of these items to see the detailed info about the event.

Repeat the steps above in the System branch. Hopefully one of these events
will point out a more specific cause for this problem.
