Vista Freezes

My copy of vista freezes on a regular basis (i had to reboot once while
writing this already!)

the computer freezes at random, and i am unable to restart it without
sending it back to a previous restore point (this happens at least 2 times
per day).

has anyone else had this problem? and if so, how does it get fixed?

Try looking at the logs. They may give you a clue.

Control panel, administrative tools, event logs.

Hi Mundon,

Freezing is often a sign of a hardware issue. Test the ram by typing "memory
diagnostic" into the search prompt. Run the tool that appears in the menu to
see if the problem is in the system ram. Other diagnostic tools can often be
obtained from the system manufacturer.

Hi!

I have had this kind of freezing around one time each 2 days for 6 months
now.
I'm about to install this reliability update which seems to be the solution:
