Vista - Vista Crashes when left alone

So I have Vista Premium and it will crash every now and then when the
computer either comes back from sleeping or from the screen saver. Any help?

Can you explain how it crashes?

You mean a blue screen? and if so, what message does the blue screen give?

Well when you come back to the computer and move the mouse the screen
freezes. There is no blue screen except after you force turnoff. The screen
every other day right after it comes out of sleep or saver is frozen with a
colorful swirl (no distinct picture) and you can't get it out of it except by
turning the comp of by holding the power button.

Try updating your graphics drivers to the latest version avaliable from
the manufacturer's website.
