Dying hard drive (weird noises or suspect disk activity). Memory failure (run the built-in tests) Temperature issues (find a utiliy that reports/logs temperatures of various parts of the PC: CPU, GPU, Northbridge, motherboard, hard disk: I use SpeedFan)(run self-tests after letting the PC heat up) Malware (not Win7, the other one)
