Driver Parallel Lines computer crashing... Need advice

I recently dug out my old Driver Parallel lines which I haven't played in a long time and I wanted to finish it because I forgot about it. I installed it and everything was well. 5 min into playing the game and I get a red pixelated screen and then the game crashes to that blue screen error where it says windows detected a device failure type of thing. This never used to happen before neither does this happen with any other game so it can't be hardware related. At first I thought my ram or gpu could have been dying, but my gpu is at 45 C and I player Crysis with it for 2 hours without a problem just to test it.I have a 9800GT C2d 3.2 ghz and 4 gb ram Vista x64. Can this be a driver problem causing instability with this select game? Should I notify Nvidia for making a game uncompatible if that is the case? Thank you any info would be greatly appreciated.
