Ifinite Loop?

I was just playing Serious Sam The Second Encounter, and the system hard locked. When I rebooted the system. I recieved this error:

//
// Watchdog Event Log File
//

LogType: Watchdog
Created: 2002-11-08 01:22:46
TimeZone: 360 - Central Standard Time
WindowsVersion: XP
EventType: 0xEA - Thread Stuck in Device Driver

//
// The driver for the display device got stuck in an infinite loop. This
// usually indicates a problem with the device itself or with the device
// driver programming the hardware incorrectly. Please check with your
// display device vendor for any driver updates.
//

I have seen this error before, but never on my system... does anyone have any ideas how to fix this?

System specs:

AMD Athlon Tunderbird 1400 @ 1400
RADEON 7500 64MB DDR retail
Windows XP Pro
Drivers used: 6.13.10.6166

Any help with this would be appreciated.

had this problem every few minutes before sp1,then it became less frequent after sp1 finally got rid of it by uninstalling drivers rebooting in safe mode and installing the latest nivida drivers had to do it about 4 times before they installed correctly not had the problem since plenty of others though.hope this is of some help
