All right, here goes.
About six months ago I installed a new graphics card (ATI Radeon HD 2600 Pro AGP from Diamond Multimedia) in my aging Dell Dimension 4600, along with some new RAM (2 GB). After some initial difficulties with the Blue Screen of Death, I was able to get it to work (simply, it stopped). But now they're back, and worse than ever. The most recent one was titled "PAGE_FAULT_IN_NONPAGED_AREA", and cited the file "ntfs.sys". Also, my computer is running a bit slower and "My Computer" refuses to open (no error, just nothing happens when I double click on it). I've tried reinstalling the drivers that came on the CD (there are none online, I've checked), and I've gotten it to work, but it still gives me the BSOD seemingly without reason. The errors have been happening more frequently as time goes on, and seemingly without reason. Even as I am typing this, another one has occurred as I attempted to login. Another "PAGE_FAULT_IN_NONPAGED_AREA". I'll attach the minidumps as soon as I can get into My Computer (I'm about ready to boot into safe mode).
Thanks; I'm kind of desperate,
