Having a Hardware Problem I Can't Solve

[DarkClown12]

Here is what describes the problem:

i will be doing regular task you kno then all of a sudden my mouse will freeze up and won't move, then a few seconds later my monitor goes out and then the comp restarts itself

System Specs:
Operating System: Microsoft Windows XP Professional With SP 2
CPU:AMD Athlon XP 2400+

If you have any other questions or can help post it here or talk with me on aim. my aim name is EDHS Ladies Man.

edit: It is a regular occurance. here is the message i just got when it froze up around 5 mins ago.

Title: Windows - Display Driver Stopped Responding
Message: The nv4_disp display driver has stopped working normally. Save you work and reboot the system to restore fully display functionality. The next time you reboot the machine a dialog will be displayed giving you a chance to upload data about this failure to M$.

Thanks,

right click 'my computer' -> 'properties' -> 'advanced' -> 'startup and recovery settings' -> uncheck 'automatically restart'
Write down the error you get.
Also tell us what a 'regular task' is.

A regular task for me is talking on aim or msn, also surfing the internet with opera or manging some files.

"Manging" files can freeze a PC easily.

Is this a regular occurance or just every once in a while?

I already had the latest drivers. But i updated again with these:
ForceWare Release 80
Version: 84.21
Release Date: March 17, 2006
WHQL Certified*

What if that doesn't solve the problem?
