First try examining the Reliability Monitor for errors. You can get to this by clicking on Start and typing "Reliability" (without the quotes) and pressing Enter.

In the left hand pane, click on Reliability Monitor - then view the errors posted in the right hand pane. Let us know what you find and we'll move on from there.

Thank you for your reply. i was looking at the reliability monitor and there were 3 disruptive shutdowns, 12 times internet explorer stopped working, 4 times the OS stopped working and 1 boot failure. this all happened in a months time the comp is brand new. im using windows vista home premium with trend micro internet security pro with web root spy sweeper. thanks again Brett

Please post the information for the times that Windows stopped working and the one time that it failed to boot.

There's also a known issue between the Trend Micro and SpySweeper - it has something to do with the spyware settings in the Trend Micro software. Here's some links that may help:
