Graphics Card Problem

I recently had the game working fine using a gforce fx5200 dual graphics card but had the graphics driver crash my whole system.

After reinstalling everything, Perfect world runs but crashes usually about every 10 minutes of game play. I downloaded the latest graphics driver but again, it wouldn't boot up past windows load screen. So I then had to boot in safe mode and unistall the driver.

The game loads and plays with the default driver that came with the graphics card but constantly crashes. It gives me a server disconnected error, but I can log back on no problem.

Any help would be great. I'm just assuming it's the graphics driver but it could be something else.

Thanks

    Thanks for the replies but I fixed the problem.

    In case anyone else runs into this similar situation, what had happened was I reinstalled my OS, and in a rush to play the game, I never updated the service pack 2 for XP. After that I was able to update to the latest graphics card driver successfully.
    Played for 3 hours last night without any disconnecting.
