Warhammer online and blue screen of death

Hey guys, I have a Sager 7620 with an ATI x800 video card and I'm being plagued with a blue screen and restart on average every 30 minutes.
I think it's my video card but I'm having a hard time finding a new one(nvidia 6800 go). anyways I only have 1G of ram (2x512),
I'm considering to upgrade to 2G (2x1024), think it would help at all or am I S.O.L.

Thx for any help.

Jimmy

When do you get your blue screen of deaths?

More ram wouldn't hurt but have you tried updating the video card drivers? Also try to see what error message shows up on the BSOD

I get the BSOD more often during busy screen action, large players fights, and quick screen changes. But I also just get it from normal mobbing after 30 minutes or so.

I don't recall what the exact fault msg is when it crashes but it is a video card failure. This is the reason that I'm looking for a new video card and I think that I've found it here but this price seems a little steep for an almost 4 year old laptop. http://www.ztronics.com/alienware-pa...ypage.tpl.html

What do you think?
