Black Screens & Yellow Triangles

Bit of a long story but i will cut it short as best i can, i have a DELL Dimension XPS 420 using a Wimdows Vista Home Premium 32 bit. Over the course of a few internet problems i was having i sent my PC away to be fixed by DELL, before i sent it though i had done a factory restore when i recieved the PC back i updated all the vista update even a few of the optionals that were relavent i also updated my drivers for NVidia GeForce 8800 GT Graphics Card and finally went to the DELL drivers and downloads section and downloaded any drivers i believed would solve the following problem.

After recieving my PC i put UnrealTournament3 on for a bit of RnR and about 40 seconds in the screen began to blank out and become unresponsive in and ouit several times refusing to have any steady gameplay i then Ctl+Alt+Del out and end the program and see a small yellow triangle in the bottom right system tray that has no tooltip and nonresponsive to right click if left click it simply vanishes and i am back to square one. i have checked device manager no errors and done a second system restore and put the same UT3 on and progressively added the drivers and u[dates nothing seems to change the result.

Can anyone offer any insight into this?
