Video Card error stopped Windows From Working

[Akai]

Booted up computer (i run vista) and a screen popped up saying something about an error with some hardware. Then vista booted up within a few second and said there was a video card error and things. Here what it says:

product windows problem video hardware error date 2/10/2008 10:37 am status not reported description a problem with your video hardware caused windows to stop working correctly. Problem signature problem event name: livekernelevent os version: 6.0.6000.2.0.0.768.3 locale id: 1033 files that help describe the problem wd-20080210-1036.dmp sysdata.xml version.txt extra information about the problem bccode: 117 bcp1: fffffa80086a04e0 bcp2: fffff98008652640 bcp3: 0000000000000000 bcp4: 0000000000000000 os version: 6_0_6000 service pack: 0_0 product: 768_1

Cold boot to safe mode, and see what you get on the screen, as this bypasses all the fancy stuff in the video graphics card. If it works with SAFE BOOT, and not with a normal boot, your video graphics card, or the driver, is part of the problem.
