Can't work out what's broken

[CrashGate3]

It seems to be working fine now

It must have been drivers not uninstalling properly (or I missed one) as I've not had a crash yet and have been playing HL2 for an hour or so.

I feel a bit of a tit for not reformatting in the first place, but hey-ho - its a learning curve.

Big thanks to everyone who helped point me in the right direction

*sigh*

..and the crashing's started again...

Its been fine ever since the reformat - no crashes, no matter how long I play and no matter how detailed the game.

And then I come to play Quake 4 today and it crashed after about 15 minutes. I reset and started the game again, and it crashed after a few seconds.

I tried Lost Coast, which always crashed it before the reformat, and worked perfectly after it, and this also crashed after a few seconds.

Both these games were perfectly stable a few days ago - I've not changed or moved anything inside, and if anything the room is slightly colder than usual.

What's happening....?
