Vista Ultimate Frequent Reboots

[ivan w. halperin]

Last week I installed Windows Vista Ultimate on my HP xW6400 (Workstation).
The installation appeared to go smoothly. The problem is that I had frequent
reboots occurring every hour to two hours.. After consulting with Windows
Vista Support, I replaced the video card with a beefier model and most of
the reboots abated--with unexplained reboots happening every four to six
hours.

I examined the Event Viewer and determined that the most frequent event
before a reboot give the following error message:

I also note that updates I select are not loaded; it seems like that area of
my computer is now constipated. I am clueless as how to deal with this
problem and would appreciate any advice.

Thank you!

You need to contact MS Vista support again and find out what you need to
do to clear out the data and clear the error.
