Boot off of it and run all the HD hardware diagnostics. If they don't fail then the problem is file system or OS related. I would try to repair Vista from the command console first, though MS stripped that out of the second release of Vista so only the first pressing of OS DVDs have that on them.

You can also do a repair install, or wipe and reload if trying to patch it up doesn't fix the issue.

It's strange that I've had this very similar problem in the past, even after re-installing Windows on more than one occasion.
When "re-installing Windows" you should remove the Partition first
If this is what you have done, then it must be hardware related (of which I doubt)

Alright, I'll give that a run through. Thanks, man!

Aye, I removed the partitions before re-installing Windows.

I just had another BSOD, except this one was a bit more informative;

0x000000D1
ndis.sys

Here's the system dump if it provides and clues?

Thanks!
