"Physical Memory Dump" & "Out of Color Range"

All right, so, every time that I run Guild Wars, I run perfectly fine. Mostly no lag.

But after playing for about 30 minutes, if I enter a battle with a lot of enemies, or if I have a large party formed, my computer comes up with either a blue screen saying things about how Windows has recovered from a serious error and will commence in a physical memory dump, resulting in me having to restart my computer, or a black screen with a little box in the middle that says "Out of color range". Also, when I play, sometimes the objects in the game turn a wide array of colors that they should not be; things like the compass, the ground, surrounding objects, and sometimes characters too.

Now, I have become aware of the fact that I run on a crappy (unsupported by Arena-Net) Intel video card, and of the program 3D Analyze that is supposed to fill in where bad video cards lack. I downloaded 3D Analyze, only to find that when I open up the program, and select Guild Wars, nothing shows in the little .EXE(or).BAT box; and therefor when I click run, nothing happens but a little message box telling me to select a .EXE or .BAT file.

Please help me to play Guild Wars again!
About a year ago, it ran so well on my computer, and now, it's just terrible!

I run on a Dell 2400 with an Intel video-card, and I definitely don't have the money to buy a new video-card.

Yeah but you need an actual graphics card.

Next time you get the blue screen, please provide the 0x000000## code and the file listed.

The out of color range almost sounds like your monitor is going to standby.
