Random Crashes during NS2 game play.

I have been having random "Blue Screen Crashes" in the middle of games. Some days I can go all day without crashing, others I am in a game for three minutes and I crash. After rebooting, I get the error message in the attached file. These crashes ONLY happen when playing NS2. If anyone has any idea why this is. Please help.

Here are the specs of my computer:

AMD Phenom II X3 720 Processor 3.52GHz
6GB ram (I have 8 but thought the crash may be a messed up stick)
64-bit OS running Vista Ultimate

    I want that minidump file & I can probably tell you what in your computer goes wrong.
    minidumps get stored in C:\Windows\Minidump, when you experience a blue screen.

    Blue screens can only happen when something running in kernel mode, crashes. NS2 does not run in kernel mode and thus can not directly cause this.
    A video driver, for example, does run in kernel mode and could technicly cause a bsod.

    Please upload the mindump. If you do not feel you want to share with random folk, mail it to ironhorse. Im sure he doesnt mind. (no, I didnt ask, im asuming hehe)
