You have not provided any details of your system software and hardware. Such error normally happens due to display driver issues. Please try these steps:

(A) Start the system in safe mode and uninstall the display driver software.
(B) Download the latest video driver compatible with the Windows version you have.
(C) Install the downloaded software.
(D) Restart the system.
(E) If there is any firmware available for the card, update it.
(F) Run a Windows Update.

I was thinking that switching over from vista to windows 7 was the best thing I could have done to my computer.. that was until some weird things started happening. When I was installing updates the other day (yes, I don’t let windows do that automatically and install whatever it feels like) and it failed!! Plus, I got a pretty weird error code- 0xfffffff. If you could help me, it would be greatly appreciated.
