The thing that makes me suspicious is that the error code you supplied does
not appear to be Windows Vista Error code.
I think you should try to copy a few top events (errors only) from the event
viewer and post them here.
You have to repair the problem, that's for sure.
Some of the options is to use a Vista installation disk in repair mode, call
your manufacturer (they are responsible for any trouble with the OS), do a
complete security checkup (see some other posts as of today for that), etc.
