Make sure your power supply isnt going bad and you may want to do a System Restore

you might need to upgrade the firmware

I had the same issue after playing around with the nforce drivers and trying some of the old drivers from the Asus disc (bad idea). Have you done anything like that? If so, undo it. I just reinstalled Vista at that point because I had only installed Vista and I figured it was faster to take 30 minutes to do it again then to trouble shoot.

Oh, Nvidia now has new Nforce drivers up for Vista so, you I would just install those and not play around to much.
