bad.pool.caller & Display Driver nvlddmkm has stopped

Hi, im having problems with a computer i bought a few weeks ago. I've had this problem of my computer crashing with a blue screen saying bad_pool_caller. I also have another problem; "display driver nvlddmkm has stopped responding and successfully recovered." My monitor goes black and I have to restart my computer, whenever i play a game, it makes stuttering noises and it also crashes with the same error message, and finally I have lines that look like dead pixels come and go across my screen. I found that this is a common problem with most vista users. I tried the command prompt solution but all it did was uninstall my video card driver. I also updated my video card driver to the latest one 163.11 Beta.
Thanks in advance.

With all of that on a computer that you bought only a few weeks ago,
send it back! You should not be having these problems out of the box.
