Vista Home Premium x64
 
 

White Screen of Death Vista x64

As some of you may know I recently built a new system with Vista Home Premium x64. It's been running great since I built it in June but now I just had a WSOD.

It doesn't seem to be Vista that is causing the problem since the only errors I can find in the Event Viewer are the Kerberos server error 15016 and an unexpected shutdown error 6008 that occured when I had to reboot the computer using the power button because of the WSOD.

Is this an nVidia problem? I'm using an 8800GTS 320mb and I was using the 178.13 driver but I just updated after the "crash" to the newest driver 180.48 so I don't know if that was the issue or not.

It happened when I was searching Google using FireFox. I did launch FF too early perhaps and I didn't give the sidebar a chance to load but would that cause the problem? If it's a white screen it has to be video related and not Vista related right?
