It is definately a device driver problem. Start up in the safe mode and examine the error logs.
Right click on "My Computer" and select Manage. Expand the Event Viewer category and look
through each of the three sub-categories for the red flagged error records. Double click on an
error record to see the details of the error and see what device caused it.

Failing that. remove any unnecessary hardware from the computer. Disconnect any Universal Serial
Bus (USB) devices and printers, and remove the network adapter, sound card, serial adapters, and
so on until you find the one device causing the problem. Personally, I'd start with the Vibra
PCI video cards first.
