You can use Windows Vista's Reliability Monitor to help track down problems in Windows:

In case you’ve not come across the Reliability Monitor, here’s how you get to it:

The quick way:
Click Start and type Perfmon into the Start Search box, and click the Perfmon shortcut when it appears. Then click on Reliability Monitor.

The long way:
Click Start > Control Panel > System and Maintenance > Performance Rating and Tools > Advanced Tools > Open Reliability and Performance Monitor > Reliability Monitor.

This will help you find the source(s) of any system failures. Help avoid these failures by:

- keeping Windows updated with Service packs, updates and patches from Microsoft.

- Install the latest versions and updates for the applications you use most.

- Update the drivers for your hardware (video card, chipset, etc). Find these on the website of the manufacturer of your hardware.
