comp problem help

It sounds like it is definitely the 3D acceleration on the video card that is the problem, for whatever reason, since it is crashing whenever it tries to use 3D acceleration. If you have updated the drivers for the video card itself to the manufacturer's latest, and it still blows up, then you could try some 3rd party drivers for the card, of which there do exist one or two, which were suggested to me when I was noticing low frame rate using the manufacturer's drivers in Doms2. I don't have that reference right now - I think it was Sabre Cherry who came up with the links...

It's also possible that your video card is just plain messed up physically (maybe dusting it off, and taking it out and putting it back in physically would help...), or is somehow incompatible with your other hardware (or motherboard BIOS, or who knows what), or it just needs some sort of setting change.
