BSOD Problem

[sabre2th]

I have a problem with BSODs. It seems that when I run certain applications, mainly games, I get a BSOD radomly. I will use EVE online as an example: When it loads a new scene, it freezes for a second or so, and then takes a dump. BSOD flashes and reboots. I have the .dmp file:
Comment: 'Dr. Watson generated MiniDump'
Symbol search path is: *** Invalid ***

* Use .symfix to have the debugger choose a symbol path. *
* After setting your symbol path, use .reload to refresh symbol locations. *

Is this the file I need?
Thanks for any advice,

Grpahics Card Drivers

It may be that you need to update you graphics card drivers, i had a similiar problem with an expertvision nvidia graphics card. You can download new drivers from the manufacturers website. If that doesnt help you may need to think about testign the PC without the card installed to rule it out!
