Graphics card problem

    Hi there, Currently running a laptop with Windows 7 Home Premium, 4GB RAM, Intel I5 2.67 GHz and a 1GB Nvidia Geforce 315M graphics card.
    Today I started getting this error http://i.imgur.com/Ao54M.jpg
    Usually my screen goes black for a fraction of a second then this comes up.
    The error code in the picture changes each time I get it, but it's mostly 3 or 7. I have checked out the support article they reference in the picture but as of yet it's been no help.
    I have not tried any other games bar Minecraft and at the minute I don't want to for fear of it getting worse. I would have posted this to the official Nvidia forums but they seem to be down for maintenance.
    Does anyone know what I can do?
    Cheers for reading.

    Edit: Here's what it says when the error code is 7 http://i.imgur.com/mN8mr.jpg

    I have read the support article linked there and it says to either reduce the amount of rendering, or to change the timeout but it doesn't say how to do either of those.

    The error also just started fairly randomly, I mean everything was working fine on Tuesday, but yesterday it just started giving me that error. The only difference between my computer yesterday and my computer on Tuesday was that yesterday morning I installed Windows updates. They were mostly security updates.

    Check for a driver update for the graphics card on Nvidia Site

    Latest drivers are a must as Sup08 said.

    Check the screen refresh rate is set to 50hz first and your screen resolution is set to a max of 1020. Just to see if you get the error and then you can set it to the optimum for the video card.
