Technical Information:
Stop: 0x000000A (OXACB00080, OX000001E, 0x00000001, 0x806EE2DC)
unless you have already, have you tried googling some of those numbers/codes? like "OXACB00080" ...when i got a blue screen i would just search online and it would tell me what was wrong, but i guess you already know whats wrong....worth a shot i guess.

I did it says pretty much the same thing, a device driver error. I'm just wandering what is wrong considering that the only thing that I have had trouble with is instillation of newer/larger CPU games.

I would suggest a Video-Card driver un/reinstall...
When I've gotten that particular error-- it usually solved the problem.
Though you have not changed any drivers-- it does not mean they cannot fail.
Video drivers are about the number one cause of problems-- because they are so integral to how Windows works

I followed what you said and this time I got a new portion to the error. NV4_Mini.Sys. After some research this is my video card driver. Uninstalling and reinstalling failed to fix the problem. Could it be something with my page file?

Newest driver is now installed. And I looked into my pagefile and it's adequate. I dunno what else it could be. I still have the issue.
