    i have played sudden attack on vista with no problems with the video card.
    But when i upgraded to windows 7,and updated my drivers using windows update, im always having blue screen when quitting sudden attack.
    Sometimes the other games get blue screen too, but not all the time like sudden attack.

    You can use vista drivers in win7. Try it, maybe it will help.

    You can also try using the older Vista driver, but Jay_D has the right idea - use the latest.

    Are you overclocking your CPU? That may sound like a strange question in a video forum, but bear in mind that Intel's "GPU"s have to offload vertex processing to the processor. That could also be causing the transition error.
