Hi,

I've been running vista for a few days now and over the past day or so I
have started to suffer random crashes when using either IE or Media Player.
The monitor stops receiving a signal and the only solution seems to be a
restart. Any Ideas?

I'm running a P4 2.6GHz, Radeon 9700 128mb, and 1 gig RAM.

Cheers

No one able to help? This is still happening.

I myself am having the same problem.

I run a AMD Alton 64 Dual core 4600, 2Gb RAM, Nvidia GeForce 6100 nForce 400
system.

My system thanks to Vista now crashes at the drop of a hat, running IE it
limits the number of window I can have open at any one time. This number
reduces as I use IE, until I can only have 2 window (And this Is also tabs)
at a time, till I restart the system.

Windows Media Player Won't even play 1/2 DVD's due to it copy protection
thing. Play my music on iTunes. ITunes crashes with every video clip I
play(This is a bit of a sepperat thing, cause Microsoft can't do anything and
it's being worked on apparently). back to WMP this just randomly crashes when
ever it feels lke.

I would like to extend my thanks to Microsoft for creating the world most
unstable system, that after 6 years of work looks amasing but feels and
handles like a college project. I wish as a student I could afford to get a
new system, cause Vista has driven me crazy, next time I going for a Mac.

There is a problem with either hardware, BIOS, drivers, software, or a
combination on your system. I am writing this in Vista Ultimate on a 2.53
GHz P4 with 1GB RAM, a system that is almost 5 yrs old. IE is open with 10
tabs, a word processor, Windows Mail, and a couple of utilities doing
background work. In fact just now Acronis True Image Home, version 10 just
started in the background to create an incremental image of the hard drives
to an external USB drive (it's set to do this every night at this time),
and everything runs fine, no lock ups or problems. I will complete the
imaging while I am doing other things.

Vista can run well. You just have to figure out where the problems lie with
your system.

sounds like you are having the same problems that LOTS of people have.
you need to update the drivers and utilities of your computer.
contact each device manufacturer and check for newer drivers.
check the producers for the utils for a vista compatible version.
