Curse

While the title is semi-oversimplifying what happens, it's still the general idea.
Namely, my problem is this:
If I tab out of the game for any signifigant period of time (say anything more than 10seconds, and no more than once) I CAN get back into GW, however soon after or an hour after (varies, and doesn't seem to be dependant on loading a new zone/town or anything to that effect) GW will have/cause a "video driver crash" Recovery of said crash by either clicking the "OK" box or having to kill the program(s) through task manager frequently results in a complete system crash. Additionally, if I attempt to stave off the inevitable crash by closing GW down, this can also result in a complete system crash (both are NOT BSOD's, just straight restart to memcheck)

Stats/Hardware on board:
Dual Athlon 2400+'s
1Gb RAM
Nvidia Geforce 6800 GT
Sound Blaster Audigy ZS

All newest drivers installed, all Win XP Pro patches installed
Video Driver IS 81.98, however I do not know the release version, but my drivers are pre- Feb 7th, 2006

I have had the same problem for a few months now, I cannot pinpoint when exactly it started, as far as if anything changed.
I have tried many things, such as rolling back to old video drivers, my sound drivers as far as I know haven't changed since maybe the first month of GW being out. Its really got me stumped and I don't even know what to point the finger at in my computer as to the culprit.

I thank you for any suggestions/ideas any of you may have.
