Default Heartbroken Christmas

Well I was extremely happy to get Guild Wars for Christmas today, I loved playing the first 10 mins of it but I've come acorss a serious problem. I have built in video which is an Intel Chipset, due to this whenever I play Guild Wars for a few mins my computer ends up crashing. Now theres no way I can buy a video card ranging from 50-100 bucks. Is there anyway, anyway at all I can fix this via a downloadable driver? Or if its a last resort something cheaper than 30 bucks?

Please I really wanna play and enjoy GW. Please help me if you can.

EDIT: Im reading a stickie and I think I'll try rolling back my driver version but here is my details just in case this don't work.

Intel(R) Celeron(R) CPU 1.80GHz 1.79 GHz, 384 MB of RAM.

I'm running GW on a GeForce 4200ti w/128mb RAM, an old Gainward card. I -know- you can find these for pretty cheap nowadays; it might not be quite $30, but maybe $40 or so? Anyway, it runs beautifully even without all the highest-end settings, and if you can find one (any of the 4200/4400/4600 line) I'd say get it.

I tried rolling back but once I restarted windows automactially upgraded the driver back. I guess I'll have to try some more ways posted in that stickie.
