mbp crashing in xp

[otis123]

so i just got my mbp this weekend, love it so far, ive tired a little windows gaming, ive tried playing burnout paradise but it keeps crashing when the computer heats up, i havent updated the drivers i tried but the nvidia installer says this system does not have supported components or something like that so if anyone could help me out with the drivers that would be great, and is that all i need to do so my games stop crashing?

I've had this problem for years, and the only thing I changed was changing to Windows 7. Played Medieval 2 for about 8 hours straight today, without issue. Dunno.

What i do is boot into OS X then turn the fans all the way up then restart and boot into windows.

Use these drivers: http://www.nvidia.com/object/notebook_drivers.html

What happened was that you attempted to download the desktop drivers instead of the notebook drivers.
