Okay, my sisters computer crashed awhile ago when playing a game. The screen turned blue and it said something about a video driver infinite loop. I know that can't be a good thing. So then, every time I tried to turn on the computer the blue message came on again. I booted in safe mode, uninstalled the nvidia gforce or whatever, and started it up again normally. The graphics were terrible, but the computer was starting again. I downloaded a driver from dell that was supposed to be the right one for the computer. It had the same blue screen and I had to go back into safe mode to uninstall it. After trying a few drivers, it worked, until she tried to play a game, then it crashed. I've downloaded drivers like that many times, gone to many nvidia driver problems forums, and tried everything I can think of. They either come up with the blue screen, or, the game freezes and she can't play it. How can I fix this? I've done everything it seems. Please, if you know please tell!

Just so you know...everything, including the game, worked fine before this thing happened

May be that the video card is not fast enough or does not have enough video RAM to handle the game.
Or that the card itself has went bad, sometimes that is a factor. Try uninstalling all drivers for the card, then getting the drivers from nVidia's website, and if they don't help, then it means it's probably a problem with the card itself, or the card like I said isn't fast enough or doesn't have enough memory. Also try updating your DirectX to the newest version to see if that helps also. Thanks.

It sounds like your graphics card is not suitable for the game. You're either going to have to get another graphics card, or refrain from playing the game with the existing one. If the game has been used before without problems, then it is unlikely, but possible, that the video card has died; it doesn't happen often, but it's not impossible, in which case you're going to have to get a new one anyway.

This could be a problem of your graphics card not meeting the specs required for the game. It might be time to update the card. Keep in mind that whatever card you get will be limited to the wattage of your power supply.
