It'll run fine Gareth. What PC do you have at the moment, as it's difficult to suggest a graphics card without knowing what type you'll need :P (Wrong connectors, etc.)

Probably worth resolving that first then, I'd say. Install Nirsoft Bluescreenview: http://www.nirsoft.net/utils/blue_screen_view.html - it'll allow you to see info about the BSOD. Post that info on here and I'll take a look :)

If Vista is the problem have you tried running it in compatibility mode? It will make Vista emulate an older version of Windows like XP etc. Might help ;) :S
