You get the blue screen on that? Wow! I haven't gotten it since I dumped Pentium chips. Maybe it's a Pentium curse. :-D

I don't get it doing any normal tasks.
If i dual log accounts on this computer (+ backround programs) with sound on on both, I usually get a blue screen within 10-15 minutes.
If I turn sound off on one account, usually the chance of it happening is much less (does happen though).
Then again, you aren't supposed to, or recommended to dual log on one comp since multiple instances causes blue screens.

drivers are free to download, check ATI's support area but uslaly they have a drivers button on the top. If you know your card and OS, the process should be simple

I highly doubt you even can play on a rage card... (even if you were, you'd quit cuz of crappy performance), if you honestly don't know, chances are you have a radeon

ok, update:
Assuming you have windows XP:
right click my computer on desktop, go to properties, go to hardware tab, click device manager, click display adapters [+] and tell me what the name of the card is

Download the radeon drivers. to find out what card you have would take a while and odds are it's a radeon.
