I am having the weirdest problem that I can just not track down and I am really hoping for some insight from the community. Here is the issue, I start up my computer and no matter how I use it after about 5 minutes it will lock up and I am unable to even ctrl-alt-del. It just locks up, no blue screen, nothing, I have to hit the reset button on the computer to get back up and running. After the initial crash I am fine for the rest of the day, no issues ever.
I thought, hmm let me check the event viewer and no problems, I thought it must be a task, nothing shows as an error in the task scheduler. It is just really bugging me. I have tried a Windows repair install, memory diagnostics, check disk, nothing helps. I am just really confused. It has been this way for a while and I am unsure when exactly it began (my bad) so I can not really track it down to a specific application installation.
I hope that someone may have an idea other than me just doing a clean install of Vista, which if I have to I will since this is a really, really annoying issue.
Thank you in advance for any help.
