Windows shuts down unexpectedly. Is there a way to pinpoint the cause based
on the logs and errors that Vista produces? I have read at least a half
dozen reasons suggested for this type of occurrence in general and wonder if
there is information being captured by the system that can help pinpoint the
cause for my specific case.

I had posted this at another spot also and have had some suggestions which I
am pursuing. However at this point I can't say I have isolated it to one
specific reason. Whether it has to do with the system fan and if running too
hot and shutting down to protect data, or problem with power source, or
problem going to sleep, or something to do with the bios and if don't have
the latest version of that, or if Windows Vista, or combination of reasons.
Seems to happen randomly so can't say for sure what the cause is but some
others in this community have provided some likely suggestions which I am
looking into. Sorry I can't provide you with a more specific answer myself at
this point.

Hibernation feature does not work after Installation of Vista SP1. When
attempting to resume from hibernation you recieve the following error

After reading all the testimonials, I just figured I should throw in my
two cents.

I recently installed windows 7 64 bit with no problem and received the
same error as seen in the picture below.

I never had this error until I plugged in this USB 4 port usb 2.0 high
speed hub by Gigaware

i have had it running and been crashing. Removed it and no crashes
since. I think the error is related to heating issues. Just thought
someone wanted to know!
