Bug with video card?

Hello

I have the following problem- recently me PC conducted pretty strange- I was playing small flash game, no serious programs were actualy opened, then PC freezed for about 10-15 seconds. After that it reseted to 640x480 resolution 16 colors and wrote that that problems with video drivers occured. I pressed start->Finish work->Reboot, and BSOD appeared. After, I rebooted and everything was ok. As I understand if there will be driver problem, it wouldn't cause BSOD. What can it be?

My system:
C2D E6600
Asus P5B Deluxe
ATI Radeon 4850
2x1GB Gigabyte memory

Thank you for any help

The MiniDump cites a ATI Driver as the cause, the error is a 0xEA so it is isolated to your Graphics Card area. Try using Driver Clean Pro to clear the Graphics Card Drivers and then Install the latest version of the Drivers.

Driver Clean Pro - http://downloads.guru3d.com/download...2171476965c5ed

Also note the Graphics Card itself can be a cause.
