Solution:

Dear John,

What is happening to your computer is a conflict between Vista Requirements and your hardware.

Most often this is a RAM memory problem. And also this happens from the BIOS settings of your RAM memory.

Since the replacement of your RAM may be inconvenient and might not solve your problem, we are going to look into your BIOS settings.

You have to change the RAM latency timers. Even default or auto may be the wrong setting for Vista so you have to do it manually. If you do not know how, you will have to ask a favor from somebody in your vicinity to aid you.

I cannot be more precise because I do not know what version of BIOS you have and thus where to find those settings exactly. Basically, once you find them you will have to set them closer to the minimal value, and then reinstall your system.
