Well, if you're not able to spend heaps of money on upgrades, your best bet for cost-effectiveness may be to upgrade the RAM. You can get another 4 GB (2 x 2GB cards) for around $40 or less, much cheaper than a new processor or video card If I were you, check how many RAM cards your motherboard supports and over how many channels; If you have 1 x 2GB card in now and the mobo supports 3-channel RAM, I would personally try an extra set of 2 x 2GB cards and see if that boosts the performance with shaders. Like Chris said though, the video card is definitely the biggest factor here as far as the frames go, but the extra RAM should give your processor a little more to work with. If you need suggestions for RAM, I'd personally recommend the blue Corsair Vengeance RAM (Got 8GB of it in my own machine); the heatsinks on top come at an extra price but the cooler the better as with anything inside a computer.Hope it helps
A computer will never throw a bluescreen under normal operation, even when running at 100%. If you are getting any bluecsreen errors for any reason, it means there's either an unrecoverable error in the core of Windows (kernel/drivers) or you have failing hardware somewhere.Given that this only happens when you try to load up Minecraft with the shaders mod, the most likely culprit would be your video driver crashing from some weird graphics call the mod is trying to do and taking everything else down with it.The first thing I would try to do would be to get the latest graphics driver for your version of Windows for the Radeon HD 4000 series cards.If you could tell me your version of Windows, I could give you a link to the correct drivers from AMD's website.Also, your CPU in your computer was released in mid 2009, so your computer is from at least then.
