Now, everything was going fine for about a week, until i decided to try playing some GTAIV, it worked fine it ran great and everything... until i got into a car, when it would crash and go to a white screen, i didnt know what to think except to try other games, so i tried the dirt 2 demo, 5 - 10 minutes in, i crash to a white screen... one last game to try, world of warcraft..
it works for about 45 minutes to an hour and then crashes to a white screen, meanwhile, all of the other games i have tried have worked (tf2, dragon age, stalker) and not crashed at all, so i have since tried flashing my bios to the most recent one, only this time, the games crash to a flashing white and black screen i still cant figure out whats up here, for what its worth im also using an ancient model m keyboard from 1994, and ide hard drive and an ide dvd drive, PLEASE REPLY!!!!
oh yeah heres a funny picture

well there's your problem.
but really try swapping it with another video card and see what you get.
I would think your error would be the result of a game error rather then a hardware issue. Check a error help site for GTA4 looking for white screen errors.

It happens in other games too.
Try running in a window and see if it helps.
Try out uninstall your drivers, boot, and then install them straight from ATI.
If the problem still exists swap out the card and try using another one, see what happens. Though you're going to have to do the drivers again.
