nslookup is a tool that comes with Windows. You can upload the file to virustotal.com and let it analyze it to be safe.
Can you explain a little bit more about why you believe nslookup.exe is crashing your graphics drivers? And are you getting any error codes, BSOD stop codes or anything like that? If you're getting a BSOD we can use the tool "bluescreenview" to get more information from the memory dump created at the time of the crash.
