BSOD when gaming

I seem to be getting an usually large number of bsod's when gaming. It happens on a variety of games even some fairly new ones such as Rainbow 6 vegas. All my games have the latest patches on but it still happens. The windows error report says its due to my ati graphics driver but my card (HD2600XT) is only 2-3 months old and i have the latest drivers for it installed. Any suggestions?

If you have Catalyst 7.10, try rolling back to 7.9. If you have 7.9, install 7.10.

I've got that card (2, in fact), and I haven't really had BSOD problems, so I'm not sure why that would cause you trouble.

Have you oc'ed your video card? During intense graphics, the vram and core heat up quite a bit more than at usual load (not to be confused with idle).
