Today I was watching a video and it just turned off.  Now when it tried to turn back on it'll get to the Windows splash screen with the progress bar and just restart.  :(  Starting in SafeMode freezes at c:\windows...\crcdisk.sys

Is this a Vista (Home Premium) issue, a hardware issue?  Any thoughts?

I'm not sure if this helps you any, but I own the same OS on another computer and it will randomly restart, or shut it's self down...

I just tried to reformat, I couldn't :(.

I either got an error about missing files and then a BSOD, or it just went to BSOD.  Who knows ... I figure I'll send the POS in.  Monitor too, it's blurry

The Windows Install Disk has a built in Repair Utility which should fix everything (Exclusive to the Windows Vista Install DVD)

Try low level formatting it from a linux live CD, then installing windows. Sometimes that fixes my couple windows machines.

How would I go about that?

When reformatting I've just been inserting my Vista disc ... Vista isn't running, the disc is :(

Grab the first Slackware install ISO (poke) and boot it. When it gives you a terminal and says "type setup to continue", type cfdisk. Go through all your partitions, hit delete, then create a new partition of type NTFS.

You might be right about that, Joe.

Why would you download a 700MB ISO for... cfdisk? :/

That's like saying "i downloaded judas priest's discography for the painkiller song."

I'd bet that you're currently bloated like a water ballon on a hot summer's day.

That analogy doesn't even make sense.  Why would a water balloon be especially bloated on a hot summer's day? For your sake, I hope there wasn't too much logic testing on your LSAT.

Me 20 minutes ago:  I attempted to reformat but keep getting errors
Me 15 minutes ago:  I formatted the main partition to reformat, there shouldn't be anything on it
Her (American woman) about 2 minutes ago:  Did you format your partition?
Me: *slaps head*

If you're talking to the first person who answered, keep in mind that they're just reading a script. It's to filter out the easy problems from the more complex ones that are passed to the second-tier support.

That is why I IMMEDIATELY ask for a senior technician once I give them my info. Usually they comply and transfer my call.
