Random Crashes

My computer keeps crashing randomly...it doesnt matter what im doing just every now and then it decides it wants to restart with no warning like the power went out and came back on. When the system boots back up into windows i always get "your system has recovered from a serious error" in the error report menu...so i send the error report and i get this message "error caused by device driver" Does anyone know what i can do to keep this from happening?

It could be overheating. CPUs have thermal shutdowns on them that will kick in if it gets to hot.
Could be a faulty fan or maybe the inside of the case is covered in dust?

omg i had the same issue, after my comp got hit by lightning. still does it but only when playing ff11, i replaced everything except the video card and the ram, it still happens after i replaced the video card, new board everything. still kicks me from ff11 after about an hour, the sims also. i have yet to figure out wtf is doin it, but you might wanna check all of your componets and make sure there wasnt a power surge or anything else that could make something you never thought of malfuction
