How to fix blue screen problem

After re-installing the OS I've got this problem of blue screen. It looks like I need to update my video card driver, but I've installed the latest driver. =(
When PC goes in stand by mode, some times when coming out of it, it just gives this blue screen with some bios looking info and goies into re-start... =/
How can I fix it?

hey... while it is scanning could you tell me if there is any place I can look for this ram :

- -Corsair XMS2 4GB (2x2GB) DDR2 PC2-8500C5 TwinX Dual Channel (TWIN2X4096-8500C5C)

I checked overclockers, but they have slightly different one... I want to upgrade mine so I wanted to get the same one I currently have to avoid system conflicts

it finished... and logged into windows, where do I check the results of the scan?

oh, can i? I didn't know... I thought they had to be exactly the same!! Thank you for telling me this! Cos, I bought all hardware here on OcUK and I trust this place. I was troubled that they didn't have the same one. Are there any specific rules I should install them? Mine are put into A channel 1 and B channel 1... so when I but new ones and put them in should I use the the empty slots? Or should I put them in a specific order?

well, hopefully it will fix the blue screen. Sorry to trouble you with this. And thank you with the advice about Ram, I might ask again about the bios... cos atm the drivers are downloading and I can't go and check into Bios
