Vista - Vista Locking

I'm running into a problem where Vista will hard lock for no reason. The only
way to recover is to power off (via power button) and reboot. Sometime it
will lock after 1 min, sometime it will run for a hour. I'm running the
basics... Office 2007, ect. Any ideas? About about 2 sec away from canning
Vista.

System specs? Overclocking?
Any hacked drivers?

Check the Event Viewer for some ideas as to what is happening then post
back.

I was using the nvidia drivers but rolled back to the Vista Default to test.
Other than that everything is what Vistat installed.

P4 3GZ with HT
1 GB RAM
Nvidia FX 5500

I have installed Itunes, Office 2007 Beta, messanger live beta, and the
antivirus pcchillin.

Thanks for your help.

I've looked but I'm not sure what to look for or where. Windows log?
Application? System? the most recent error in system is DCOM The
application-specific permission settings do not grant Local Launch permission
for the COM Server application with CLSID

Start with System since that is what is locking up.

I diabled a bluetooth driver that was loading on startup and that seemed to
do it. I was trying to setup a PAN earlier in the day and believe this is
what caused the locking although I don't know for sure. Thanks All.

I've had this same problem. I'm unable to track it down. Nothing is in
event viewer that looks like it can be causing this. Anyone have any ideas
of where else to look? I'm thinking it maybe some type of driver issue, but
thats just a hunch.

BTW I'm running the x64 ver.
