I'm afraid I'm rather technologically retarded. Is that something my computer already has, or do I need to download something? *shuffles off to google it*

It's either hardware or software. It's usually software, but software is not easy to diagnose. Normally, you just wipe the system and start from scratch in that case. If that doesn't work, then there is a hardware problem. Hardware problems that cause kernel malfunctions can be anywhere on the mobo (video, RAM, CPU, etc.).

I've got the 7300 and from the beginning i was getting the Blue Screen of Death, updated drivers at which point i wasn't getting that, instead my game would freeze for a couple of mins then crash to desktop. Also was getting that SLI msg, drove me up the wall. I ended up re-installing the video card using the installation disk that came with it. For the last 2 weeks, i've had no more problems.

Thank you Theo ;D Those links might help me. I have an annoying SLI pop up when I start the computer. I'll have hubby or my brother look at that help page and see if the fix will work for us.
My annoying message tells me something about SLI not working properly as I have disabled one of my graphics cards. Silly computer :P I only ever had one graphics card. But what I did do (confession time) is update my video drivers to the new one 91.31.
I have updated the drivers previously and I think I did it right. Remove old drivers from add/remove program, reboot, turn off anti-virus, install new version.... Check EA Easy Info, it says they are there, play new game that needed the driver, it's all good. But everytime I start the computer now I get the annoying pop-up. 'Sigh' nothing is ever simple!
