Installing Video card drivers and games causing my PC to power off

Over the last two weeks, whenever I tried to play a game such as WC3, Counter-Strike, or watch a movie etc my computer would often automatically reboot, or freeze.

I reinstalled the newest video card drivers for my computer, and that changed the daily crash to a crash every 30 minutes, and eventually every 5 minutes upon entering a game, or watching a movie on my computer.

I completely wiped my hard drive, reformatted, reinstalled windows and had no initial problems as I started putting software back on.

As soon as I installed the latest video card drivers my computer would start this odd cycle where the screen goes black and the computer itself increases its rpm and after a few seconds the computer goes back to normal. Then a few seconds later the screen goes black again, rinse and repeat.

I uninstalled the video drivers, problem goes away. I find older drivers, problem comes back. I use the auto find drivers wizard that XP uses and get an even older version which seems to work fine. Then I installed warcraft 3. As soon as i enter the game my computer freezes, I have to do a hard restart and when I get back to my desktop my computer starts giving me a black screen, increased rpm, back to normal. I uninstall Warcraft 3, problem stops, but I notice my video card drivers are no longer working.

I've tried pulling out 1 of my sticks of RAM and using 512 instead of 1 gig, swapped both out one at a time and changed the slots they were in. Didn't change anything.

before i reformatted i shut off auto restart to give myself the blue screen of death when an auto restart was about to happen. the screen said

DRIVER_IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL
STOP:0x000000D1, 0xFFFEB0E, 0x00000006, 0x00000000, 0xF86057C4
