Been happening since I built my computer christmas day. If I play a game for a while, everything will freeze and I'll get a BSOD saying "IRQL_NOT_EQUAL_OR_LESS"

Yeah, 90% of the time that's bad drivers. Remember, if you're using an operating system based off the NT Kernel (2000, XP, Vista, 7), the only time you should see a BSOD is if you have driver problems or hardware failure.
In Windows 2000 and XP, you might also encounter a BSOD if a driver crashes. In Vista and 7 drivers can recover from crashes.
IRQL_NOT_EQUAL_OR_LESS has happened to me a lot and it's usually video card related, so yeah, uninstall your nVidia drivers and install the latest version. If you get one with the message "PAGE_FAULT_IN_NON_PAGED_AREA" it can be related to your RAM or hard drive. I say this because when I had that bad RAM I got both.

I'm using the one of the newer ATI's. So should I replace all my drivers, or just video card?Yeah, 90% of the time that's bad drivers.
