    It worked fine until this morning. Now, when windows starts to boot, at the part were the windows logo is shown and the loading bar is below it, it goes to a blue error screen that says "A problem has been detected and windows has been shut down to prevent damage to your computer." And there's a long message after that. Then the computer reboots.

    Please help.

    On an XP OS I would boot into safe mode (F8) and check out Administrtative Tools (via the start menu or control panel), Event Viewer. Also in system properties or in the BIOS turn off Automatically Restart under System Failure.
    Bug

    Should be able to do the same in vista also.

    I spent a long time on the phone with tech support and apparently the problem was a conflict between Vista and the forceware drivers. I really hope SP1 solves these issues.
