You may have a hardware issue. Either a component may be failing or timing
is set incorrectly in the BIOS. I would try installing an alternate OS such
as XP or one of the linux variations to see if the unwanted behavior
continues.
It may be the memory as well, and Vista has a built in diagnostic tool you
can run. Just type 'memory diagnostic' into the start/search line to begin.

Ideally, you should install XP on to it's partition, then Vista. Installing
XP after Vista will "remove" the Vista bootloader leaving you with XP. If
you've done this in reverse order, like I did, then you can get Vista BCD
Pro for XP and that should allow you to dual boot.
make sure you don't have any viruses. trojan.vundo made vista freeze and
crash a lot.
