Did you try doing a Recovery before you installed Daemon Tools? You Should Try That Cause I was experincing almost the same problem and I did a Recovery and restored it and it works perfect stil... You got to kind of becareful on what you download on Vista it's not a iMac...

:wave:

 

unfortunatly i was busy with a new job/school and didnt have time to work on the computer
when i finially got arround to downloading the drivers and what not first and still saw the problem (there were times i'd install a driver and not have a problem the rest of the day) i tried to do a system recovery but missed a recovery by one day (the latest recovery i had was the recovery up to the moment i installed daemon)
so i'm looking for other ways to solve the problem =/

 

You could have bad drivers, faulty hardware or an incompatible application.

What are your temperatures like? Could you be overheating?

 

haven't been monitoring everything but my cpu has been staying arround 40-45C

as far as the drivers goes, i've tried reinstalling all of my drivers so i don't think it's that anymore
and seeing as how i recently built this machine i really hope it's doesn't have any hardware going out >.<
i mentioned daemontools v2.53 because i've found multiple cases of people having problems with it on vista they appeared to have the same problem but there was no solution mentioned

 

I would suggest trying a 'startup repair':
