Computer freezes when using Vista

I am testing Windows Vista RC1, and I tested Beta 2 too. In the two builds, I
have the same major problem while working in Windows: unexpectedly, without
doing anything special, the screen freezes completely, and I have to reset
power. As far as I know, it doesn't create any report/log/debug to send. When
I restart Vista, it reports some corrupted files (normally apps that I was
running, shortcuts or folders). ScanDisk can't correct most of that errors,
leading me to reformat the partition where Vista is installed.
I have no problems installing Vista, and I have no performance problems
while using it. I have no problem using XP too (XP is installed in a separate
hard drive).
I don't know if this is the right place to show my problem. If you can't
help me only with this description, can you tell me what information should I
gather, and/or the right place to send this?
Thanks for the attention.

3,2GHz P4 with HT
448MB RAM (512MB - 64MB shared memory)
ATI Radeon Xpress 200 Series 64MB graphics card
Hard drive 1: 80GB (Windows XP)
Hard Drive 2: 80GB (Vista installed in a 20GB partition)

Happens to me on both versions you mention I think the problem is memory and
am boosting mine from 512 to 1 Gb. Think vista prefers 1Gb + it seems very
hungry.

I'm using Vista with 512MB RAM and haven't had frequent freezes. Can't say I
haven't had any, but not enough to make note of it beyond using a BETA OS.
