i have a problem with random unsigned blue screens in windows xp, i can boot into safe mode and have no problems, i can boot into windows for a maximum of 30 mins. without getting a blue screen. every now and then a send error report will tell me to install the latest drivers for my graphics card however i have the latest drivers for it. any help on this topic would be greatly appreciated.

EDIT ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
this is one of the many errors i get ... and as i said before ... i have the latest drivers installed ... it makes NO sense whatsoever !

+ Solution 1: Install the most current driver for your video card
Go to the Microsoft Update website to see if there are any updated drivers for your video card. A driver is software that enables hardware or devices (such as a printer, mouse, or keyboard) to work with your computer. Every device needs a driver in order for it to work. If there are any drivers listed, you should install them.
If there are no updated drivers at Microsoft Update, and you know the manufacturer of the video card, contact the card manufacturer's product support service for assistance.
If there are no updated drivers at Microsoft Update, you don't know the name of the manufacturer of the video card, and you need more help diagnosing and resolving this problem, contact your computer manufacturer's product support service.

+ Solution 2: Manually decrease Hardware Acceleration for your video adapter

EDIT ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
