I have a custom built machine that used to run XP, with all the latest
patches packs etc, and it was very stable and usable.

I bought the Vista Ultimate 64bit and formatted my RAID array and
completed a clean install, no problem.

However, it became apparent that there was something seriously wrong as
the PC new randomly reboots. It can be sat idle, and reboot! I took
advise and switched off the 'automatic reboot' "feature" (ha!) to aid
in the solution, but unfortunately the BSOD's I've been receiving
haven't helped much.

I'm certain I can rule out the PSU as I bought an after market one.
The RAM too is 2GB of Corsair, so I'd like to think I'm safe there.
The GSU is a Nvidia 7600GT (Galaxy) I think, and I have installed the
latest drivers (100.65).

Living in modern times, I've also started to take snaps of the charming
BSOD's that I'm presented with and have uploaded them he

Does anyone have any idea?

Hopefully, problem solved!

I kept getting the ''Error Message: STOP 0x000000EA
THREAD_STUCK_IN_DEVICE_DRIVER (Q293078)'
(http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=293078)' error whether the PC was
sat idle or I was using it. Checking my logs, my best was 12 reboots
in one day. Not bad I think you'd agree!

After much trawling I stumbled across a solution that recommended
entering the nVidia Control Panel and disabling both the
'Multi-display/mixed-GPU acceleration' and the 'Threaded Optimisation'.
I did as yet no reboots, even after several hours of use with
Dreamweaver, iTunes and Photoshop all open at once. I even had a quick
game of Hold 'em and no BSOD.
