Please press F8 several times during start up. When computer gives you few options of startup choose Safe Mode. Once in Safe Mode go Start----->All Programs---->Accessories------>System Tools------>System Restore. When you get there choose last date when system was working properly and restore to this point. I hope this helps and good luck.

Try booting up in safe mode COMMAND PROMPT ....
Type CHKDSK /F
CHKDSK cannot run because the volume is in use Type Y and push enter it will start on the next startup...Restart the computer... If that doesn't work take the hard drive out and connect it to another computer and run it on that...

Usually this happens when the vista boot loader fails. During boot up, keep tapping F8 and then select Disable Automatic Restart... and get the stop error code which usually starts with 0x

Sounds like it could be a virus. Or, a heat buildup problem - are all fans inside machine working? Is the fan inside the power supply operating? Was there any work done inside the computer recently?
If the hdw is all ok, go out and buy yourself a copy of Norton Internet Security 2009 - 1 user lic - $49.99 @ Staples. Do *not* buy any earlier vers. of this software! Install, update it, run computer computer scan - probably will find/remove some/many viruses.

If this helps, please take the time to rate my response to you.
Thanks and good luck.
