My computer was having problems and acting kinda funny so I reformatted it and reinstalled all the drivers. I have an NVIDIA GeForce FX 5500 graphics card and I downloaded the newest drivers for this from their site. Now my computer will randomly shut down and restart. It doesn't seem to matter what I am doing at the time. I do send the report to Microsoft and the report I get back states that the stop error is caused by a video adapter device driver.
STOP 0x000000EA THREAD_STUCK_IN_DEVICE_DRIVER
- or -
STOP: 0x100000EA THREAD_STUCK_IN_DEVICE_DRIVER_M
is the error codes that are listed. It further states that there are 2 options to fix this ... 1) download the latest drivers (I have)..... or 2) Manually decrease Hardware Acceleration for your video adapter
I have done both to try to solve this problem.... neither one has worked. It wasn't randomly shutting down/restarting until after I reformatted the drive. Can anyone help me with this problem?

That very well could be a hardware problem. Is the computer under warranty?
