vista is an old bomb of a car

[cab_cool]

that is an accurate description of my computer.
my computer crashes, hangs, restarts without warning, games stop working
while playing them(this includes freecell and inkball, different sections if
vista stop working and restart. 37 of my problem reports are windows related
and none have a solution and the ones that it says have a solution don't make
difference(i have 3 of these)and relate to graphics card.

i would of least thought that a year after it was released there would be
only small or minor problems by now. yes i have all updates of all my
computer components including optional updates

here are specs:
Q6600, p35c-ds3r, 8800gts, 4GB of 1066MHz RAM, 64 bit vista ultimate, 750GB
hard drive

I am having the exact same problems with my computer. I was going to do a
system recovery. Do you think that would help or make the problem worse. I
am not a real computer wizard so I am not sure what to do. I have vista
premium.

ok so title might of been a bit harsh (but i was venting). in anycase there
are another 33 problems that aren't related to vista.

but I will say this, Vista runs fine on my box, much more so than XPro ever did.

this might be true for you but it isn't for me.

this is the reason my computer is screwed up: i have memory problem that i'll
see the manufacturer about

I never intended to imply that we're experiencing the same thing when it
comes to Vista, cab. Obviously that isn't the case. My response was
offered to indicate that there are other things that need to be taken
into account when a rig isn't stable.

In my experience system instability is usually not actually related to the
OS. More often than not it is spyware, a virus, faulty hardware or
something that has been done to it by the operator.

A large percentage of the time it is driver related.
