Everyonce and a while when playing games a blue csreen pops up..

It says its dumping physical memory and i have to restart computers.
is this caused by my graphics card..

i dont remember what graphics card i have i think its a gforce fx

i got it 2 - 3 years ago. Im getting a new one , just wounder if that blue screen is cause by my current graphics card

is it only on games, how much RAM have you got?

i have 768 MB of ram currently.

my mb can support up to 3072MB, so i can always get more, but dont want to spend a lot of money.
and it only happens when i play computer games

What is listed in the Device Manager under Display adapters?

Right click My Computer then click Properties then Manage then Device Manager

You can try and install the latest drivers from the manufacturer's web site.

If it is a G Force: http://www.nvidia.com/content/drivers/drivers.asp

Also read their installation hints.
