| Those sound more like hardware issues rather than Vista issues dude.
BSOD is usually related to hardware, particularly memory.

| Well, I don't know what to say really? 
All I know from experience, is that BSOD's are usually a conflict between hardware and memory, overheating, or dodgy memory or perhaps faulty hardware..
All my previous BSOD's (many over the years  ) were from hardware, not the OS itself.
Example: A few years back, I had a pair of 6600gts in sli.
They were not cheapies either, they were leadtech factory OC'ed jobbies.
That setup was never stable, so I ditched one of them, and things improved, but occaisionally during BF2 or F.E.A.R it would BSOD or restart.
I got quite pissed off with this issue, so I knuckeled down and did some homework, got a temp reader (physical) and found my GFX card was overheating. I replace the stock cooler, and blam! No more issues.
Same thing happened after I upgraded to the 7900gt.
As far as I'm aware, no 7900 GT has stock memory cooling, so I got a zalman with memory sinks, and once again, no issues since.
I doubt half of the issues people are having are actually to do with vista itself.
Motherboard configuration and such can play havoc, as can poorly designed systems.
Its easy to blame the OS though.
I could be wrong though |

I could be wrong though Nope couldn't have put it better myself. If its not dodgy drivers (which it rarely ever is) its overheating. Another problem is people never open their computers up and hoover the dust out once in a while. Easiest way at making sure your comp dont overheat, that and adding more fans (or water cooling if your s***ing money  ).
