After noticing that my computer was running rather slowly, and freezing up occasionally. Since then, I've been getting the "Not Responding" message from different programs quite often, and usually end up having to reboot when it happens. I've reinstalled Vista several times since then, and I continue to have the same problem. At one point, the computer would not even boot, giving me the blue screen of death every time I tried to start it, which was the last time I reinstalled the OS. I'm keeping Windows and all my drivers updated, and I scan for malware regularly. What could be causing this? Could it be a hardware problem?
