my vista64 rig did about the same as your if not worse starting with occasional BSOD reboots which graduated to non booting with BSOD crash.
1.thought it was the HDD - replaced with another to tryout & samething.
2.pull out ram & reinstalled with memtest - rams fine.
3.pull & reinstall all cards - same crap.
finally found out that it was the mobo causing intermittent issues cos the guy to who it together in the 1st place did a lousy job. he used uneven mobo back screws plus the middle row screws wasnt installed at all causing a slight bend in the mobo which lead intermitent BSODs & finally total failure. btw mobo worked fine out of the case caused it wasnt bent but had the craps when installed back in case.
put in a new gigabyte mobo the things solid as a rock. & to think i blamed a lot of in on vista64! mang sometimes i do think MS & vista gets the raw end just cos.......
