Windows error

Whenever I play game or open a website (it may be a certain amount of time
before it happens though), I would get a flash of the blue screen and my
computer would shut down. When it boots up again, I get a error message from
Windows and it's always 2 files that is causing the trouble. I tried deleting
it many times but it always pops up. One of them is from a folder in
C:\WINDOWS\Minidump and the other is called sysdata. I'm using Windows XP
Home Edition. I just re formated my computer. But the problem persisted.

I can only help you with minidump here. start out at control panel, system,
advanced, under startup and recovery click settings, under write debugging
information change the small memory dump drop-down to none.

Go through step 1,2,3 make sure you select the right Driver then the Right
series number like NVIDIA GeForce FX series then make sure what your XP is 32
Bits or 64 Bits, win98,2000, ME..etc and accept the EULA to download the
driver:

But are you sure is the Video, it could be the RAM, but either way , best to
try this first.
Good luck.

I have just tried to view Event Viewer if there is any problem. However, I do
not know what to do from here.

Is there a way to copy those information into text?
