Rebooting is impossible

I had a situation where I could run Vista just after I installed, but
when I rebooted it would blue screen or do some other strange activity.

I found out that after I had it running the first time, the Windows
update was installing a driver for my modem which was causing the
problem. I never have figured out why it would work in 5600 but not
5728, but I had to boot into Safe Mode and remove the driver before I
could boot normally again. Perhaps you have something similar. You can
set Vista (in System Configuration) to do a boot log (ntbtlog.txt), so
you might try that.
