driver issue, or something with the hardware is going bad. Boot to a linux livecd, and see if that works fine. If it doesn’t its the hardware, if it works fine its your drivers. ---

remove any hardware that is not onboard… video card, NIC, audio anything that is permanent. Only hook up the mouse keyboard and monitor then try and boot. you could have corrupted hardware ---
