I'm running Home Premium 64bit on the rig in my signature.

The problem I am having is that sometimes after the green progress bar vanishes that Vista stops booting. My NUM Lock key does not light and my monitor goes to sleep. The hard drive access light flashes for a bit then nothing happens.

It took me 3 attempts to get into Vista this morning by having to hard reset. I've unplugged all USB and PS/2 devices but it's made no difference. I've got the latest BIOS firmware for my motherboard as well. Vista is fully updated including SP1.

This is driving me nuts, HELP!
