Windows 7 Bsod - page_fault_in_nonpaged_area

I just installed Windows 7 on a new partition on my home desktop.

I now get MEMORY_MANAGEMENT and PAGE_FAULT_IN_NONPAGED_AREA BSODs right after logging in to Windows 7. When I get the BSODs, there is no filename associated with the error, just the above general errors.

I can reproduce the PAGE_FAULT_IN_NONPAGED_AREA right away just by trying to change the default resolution from 800 x 600 to something higher. Otherwise, Windows 7 just blows one of these two BSODs after using the OS for a few minutes just by opening and closing Windows Explorer or by generally just poking around in control panel, etc.

Could this be video driver related? Windows 7 downloaded its own video driver automatically, and I tried installing the NVIDIA Windows XP and NVIDIA Vista drivers and of course neither of those will install since it says these drivers aren't compatible with current system.

System:

P4 3.0 GhZ HT
Nvidia 128MB FX 5500 video card
3mb RAM

What are my next steps to diagnose?

Thanks for any help.
