You can reboot to safe mode and remove recently installed softwares and try
again. If not working, you can boot to Last Known Good Configuration.
Otherwise you may need to test your memory to make sure it is working and
working with your mainboard well, and perform a system restore or system
recovery, or virus scan or a reinstallation of your Vista.

Some links for your reference.

Advanced startup options (including safe mode)

You can check safe mode, Last known good configuration and Repair your
computer for specific information.
