You should download the latest drivers from nvidia. Also a good thing to check is the temperature inside your case.

er...i did check for the latest, but its asking me to pay........... the driver come along with my computer...i HAVE to pay in order for an update? and my computer is a laptop, so i don't think im able to check the temperature.

I don't know where you went to download the driver, but definitely shouldn't ask you to pay. Anyway, here is the link to download the driver (for free ): http://www.nvidia.com/object/winxp_2k_93.71.html

Unpack the file that you downloaded from the internet and point the upgrade driver wizard in device manager to the folder where you unpacked the file.
