Have you run HDD and RAM diagnostics? If not, I suggest you run them first (use Memtest86+ for RAM test). Run Memtest86+ at least 2 passes for each of the RAM stick installed. Test each stick individually (remove one while you test the other).

After running the diagnostics (assuming no errors), try a Vista Startup Repair.
