Not sure when you started having these issues, but if you have a restore point prior to these issues occuring it wouldn't hurt to restore the computer to that point. You could also update all of your drivers to ensure you have the latest versions. Also update Vista to the latest updates. Since Vista does not come with a repair console, if a restore doesn't work and updating the drivers does work my suggestion would be to reinstall the OS.
Since you are having this problem on when the OS is loading, i believe there is a driver conflict. |
A driver conflict would explain the random freezing/crashing on startup but would not explain the problems of freezing or unresponsiveness before i load the OS. Sometimes it freezes before the log in screen even shows up, and sometimes there is no input onto the monitor at all. I've tried too reformat the hard drive but that didn't fix anything sadly

Managed to get a quick glance at a blue screen this morning that was different to the one i mentioned above, it was a SYSTEM_SERVICE_EXCEPTION 0x0000003B. It did a physical memory dump then restarted the computer.
I will run memtest and Seatools as soon as i can and get back to you guys with the results, thanks for all the help.
