This never happened for a couple of days but as I started updating
Vista, the Blue Screen Error has been occurring. the Problems Center in
Vista advised me to update to SP1 because it said that this issue has
been resolved in the latest service pack. After updating, the problem is
still here. When i boot Vista up its normal, and operates perfectly. But
when the issue of putting my computer on sleep or shutting
down/restarting, the Blue Screen appears and restarts my computer so i
have to resort to turning it off manually. Help please =(

Updating Vista with what? Windows Updates? Program updates? Antivirus
updates? Driver updates? Something you installed is crashing when you shut
down and you need to figure out what that is.

1. Disable the automatic restart.

In Control Panel Vista-style - click on System and Maintenance.
In Control Panel Classic View - double-click the System applet.

In the task pane on the left, click the Advanced system settings link.
Locate the Startup and Recovery area and click on the Settings button.

In the Startup and Recovery window, locate and uncheck the check box next to
Automatically restart. OK your way out.

2. Read the Stop Error on the blue screen. You can research it he

Then look at what you installed. If you installed a driver update, this
could definitely cause the issue. Go to the Windows Update applet in
Control Panel and see if you can figure out what you installed. If you see
a driver update in there, roll it back.

Or uninstall the updates you installed and then only install them one at a
time, testing after each installation.

Do you have an HP PC , with HP update activated?

If yes, check with HP chat support to get advice on disabling a driver
that was installed by HP Update called HP RC Mirror Driver. It may be
the cause of BSOD.

I actually have a Gateway computer. Also since this problem is caused by
a program not closing properly, is there a way for me to see which
program isn't closing properly??

Sorry, I can't answer that. My comment was based on a similar experience
on my HP PC.
