system crashes while online

How do I determine which driver is causing my system to
crash? A few months ago it started freezing up while I was surfing the web or
playing my Line-of-Sight, Vietnam game (which is web based). Microsoft help
diagnosed adware and/or spyware as the culprit, so I bought and installed a
copy of NoAdware to go along with my Norton’s System Works 2005. when the
pop-ups kept right on going with out slowing down and my home page was still
changing every few minutes, I then installed the following other free
programs to see if they would catch it: BHO Demon, AdAware SE Personal ver.,
SpyBot Search and Destroy, and Xcleaner.
Now the pop-ups are still coming just as fast as ever, my home page is
still being hijacked although not as often as before, and now my system
crashes and reboots after every few minutes online. Windows Error Reporting
diagnoses the problem now as an unspecified driver.
I am running windows XP home Sp2, with all the current updates that I know
of installed, and windows media player version 10. I have an audigy sound
card installed but that and Nortons worked out their conflict shortly after I
installed the sound card just under a year ago. HELP PLEASE.

Use spybot search & destroy in advanced mode
Make sure it's definitions are up to date.
View your BHO's.
Uninstall any you can do without and any mal-ware BHO's.
The view running processes for anything suspicious.
