My home desktop has been acting strange lately. This computer has 2
hard drives, the original with the original Vista install, and a 2nd
that has XP installed. I boot it and run it from the XP drive. Right
before I went on vacation I noticed it seemed to be shutting off. What
it is doing
Sounds like either a driver-induced hang, or ram that's starting to flake
out.

Hardware problem.
Start with memory-that is the most likely culprit. Even removing and reseating
it can do the trick.
When I started doing more workstation stuff I was amazed at how many issued are
caused by memory...

Since it runs OK in safe mode it sounds like it might be hardware that's
getting flakey, but not activating in safe mode. If in safe mode
without networking it's OK, it might be the network card. If it is OK
in safe mode with networking but not in normal boot then I'd look more
at the video
I had that problem when the vid card was going flaky. Replaced it and
no more problems (twice actually). It was a bunch of blown capacitors
on the board, when it got hot they quit capacitating. But only in
regular mode, in safe mode it seemed to work which was kinda odd, maybe
it was not

Sounds like your memory controller is hosed. nbsp;I'll give you $50 for that

It does. Unless the video card is toast, it will probably work OK in the lowest
resolutions.

If memory reseat doesnt work. try using one stick at a time. If that
doesnt solve the problem its probably your power supply. Safe mode
requires the least amount of power. PS checkers are pretty cheap...

Get Memtest86+ from http://www.memtest.org/. It's an improved version of
memtest86.

Currently having the same issues with a Win 7 computer. It started

Buy a Mac. They haven't authenticated licensing for years. With the latest OS,
you don't even have to have the physical media.
Windows 7 only makes it worse.
We are migrating to Windows 7 at work, and if we didn't have a licensing
server, it would be a nightmare.

You can add another one and disable the onboard in BIOS.
