3 times now i've been playing hellgate: london while watching a movie on my second monitor, and i know that there's no software error, i need to buy some hardware, but i need to know what?
All i had running was hellgate london and windows media player, which both ran with optimal speed and no lag, but any time i alt+tabbed out of hellgate london, and then back in, i bluescreened and it immediately restarted by itself.
my specs are:
2gb of DDR PC3200
2.01ghz amd athlon 64 X2 Dual core processor 3800+
NVIDIA 9800GT EVGA 512MB VRAM
so is it theram or the CPU?
Give us the crash log.
I say cpu.

where is that?

Event viewer.
I'd suggest not alt-tabbing, other than that your computer is fine at the moment.
It's a software error, not hardware.
Many games really do not like being mininzed while in fullscreen mode, I'm pretty sure Borderlands use to do this no matter what specs. There's really nothing you can do about it, but as for an upgrade your CPU is rather old, you may want to upgrade to get optimal performance with your video card, and an upgrade to DDR2 would give you a performance boost, but it won't be huge, like it would if you were upgrading from SDRAM to DDR RAM.
What you can do is run the game in windowed mode, and maximze it, that usually allows you to minimize or switch the window order when using a 3D app.
CPU.. the ghz is awfully horrible
Not more RAM, but better RAM.
Better CPU.

More RAM is better than higher speeds.
More CPU. Ram can be taken care of by ReadyBoost or eboostr (google them)

yeah but neither of them are any replacement for real ram.
