I am using Vista Ultimate and am on a fairly new computer, does anyone know
what is causing this?
 
It could be over heating. Do you have plenty of ventilation around the
computer, and make sure the ventilation holes are not blocked? Also, you
might open the case and see if the fans are spinning as they should and the
dust is blown out.

What do you expect, it's Microsoft crap.

After installing SP1 which was suppose to address known issues in
Vista my install of Vista is not more unstable proving Microsoft can
push a pile of crap like Vista out the door knowing it is badly broken
then out do themselves making it worse with SP1. There ought to be a
law. Seriously why isn't there a lemon law for shity software? If
there was Microsoft would go bankrupt.

Microsoft's fault that he fukked it up.

How many more times will you try to sell that story?

Vista is ****ed up for ONE reason. Microsoft released it that way.
Frank can't bear to admit it. So he lies, and lies and then lies some
more because as we all know Frank is nothing but a pathological liar,
mental retard and Microsoft kiss-ass.

If Vista was stable there would have be no need for SP1. Of course
considering it was Microsoft that wrote both, not surprised the cure
is worse than the disease.

Dude ... even Ubuntu is on sp37.
MS is rock solid compared to that crap.
 
Actually, I have an app that measures the temp of the computer and it is
never anywhere near the limits. If you need more information please let me
know.

Could be power.

Many PCs ship with under sized power supplies. Add a video capture, a
decent non-UM video, second hard drive and you could be pushing the
limits.

Alternatively, load Linux in dual boot, if you have the problem with
Linux, it is certainly hardware.

MS should push a real fix with SP1. Vista needs Viagra. Send Redmond a
dose of the stuff so they can get Vista up to par will ya?
 
I did this, double checked it and had two restarts without any blue screen
popping up. It just seems really random.

This clown is beyond stupid! I mean this fat, drunken pig of a person
is so insecure and mentally retarded that he just can't accept that
fact that he is dumb, stupid and incompetent when it comes to computers.

But he is supposed to walk down the isle with your daughter. You are
going to be related to him.

Are you serving leg of lamb at the wedding. Are you going to invite the
Linux group.

I think you should give the bride (your daughter) away with a
hehehe...LOL! and then get drunk with an oinker.

Ahhhh ha ha ha BTL!
 
If the computer is doing a soft reboot (versus shutting off completely),
then
you can configure it to display a blue screen rather than automatically
reboot. A stop code should be displayed (e.g. 0x000000A), along with
a related identifier, like IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL.

The first step then is to configure your Startup and Recovery settings.

1) Launch Start -> Control Panel -> System.
2) In the Tasks pane, select 'Advanced system settings'.
3) On the System Properties dialog, click the 'Advanced' tab.
4) Under 'Startup and Recovery', click the 'Settings' button.
5) Under 'System failure', uncheck the 'Automatically restart' button.
6) Click OK on both dialogs to exit.

Now the next time the computer has an error reboot, you should be
presented with a blue screen and error code. Write down the error
code and perform a search online (and/or post the code back in this
thread).

The most typical cause of this type of error is a driver error, though it
could be faulty hardware or improperly seated hardware components.
