My computer hasn't been working right for over a year now. First thing that happened was that it would have trouble booting up after updates and sometimes I would have to restore to pre-update to get it booted up. This got progressively worse until it wouldn't boot up at all. Weird part is that, if I left sit for a couple of weeks, it would boot up just fine.
Took it to the shop for a diagnostic - nothing wrong. They reinstalled Vista and things worked fine. For a couple weeks. Then it started having trouble again with restarts. It was the same progressive downward spiral, except the details and the symptoms were different. (Again don't remember exactly what they were) However, they were just as consistant. It was the same couple of errors or sequence of problems each time. Again, if I left it sit for a week, it was temporarily fine.
Took it back to the shop for another diagnostic - still nothing wrong. Reinstalled Vista and everything was fine for a couple of weeks again. Now I have a completely different, but very consistant, series of things preventing me from booting up. I can't boot up safe mode, except with dos prompt, and i get constant errors about C:\Windows\system32\UxTheme.dll causing trouble.
I feel like there's got to be a hardware problem, but don't want to start randomly buying parts. Any ideas?
