Vista 64-bit crashes randomly
Hi again guys,

Since i built this computer and put on vista x64, i havent had a single thing go wrong, no hiccups or anything!

Recently however (6 months later) i installed a large batch of windows updates, which seemed fine. A couple of days later we had a thunder storm and a blackout. My computer was on at the time and just turned off. It is hooked up through a Monster surge board anyway- i thought no biggy and just waited till we got power again and kept going.

Since then at random times, usually when im playing a game or something it just shuts down and restarts itself a couple of seconds later. STALKER is the game... it has even crashed through a defrag...

System specs as follows:

Core 17 940
Asus P6T Delux + OC Palm
12GB DDR3 1600Mhz Corsair dominator
Antec 1200 Case
Asus Triton 81 CPU cooler
HIS Radeon HD4870x2
Azuntech prelude 7.1 DTS
Corsair 1000W PSU
Killer N1 NIC
4x 1TB Caviar Black HDD's (Non-RAID)
2x Pioneer DVD writers

Thanks for the help guys, just need a fresh mind to get my head round this

Disable the automatic restart on crash. Then look up the error message on the BSOD. That will point you in the direction you need to go to fix the issue.
