Instability since installation of SP1.

Ok, so it seem that since I installed SP1 my system's been a bit unstable.
By unstable I mean, random reboots all day long. I'd never had this problem
before and I've had Vista for over a year now, but now I can't seem to keep
it running all day, all night like I used to.

It's totally random when it reboots. Most times it's just sitting there not
running anything at all. I've even disabled ALL the startup programs so
it's a totally clean boot up, but still it may decide to reboot at will.

Has anyone else noticed similar behavior after installing SP1 for Vista?

Thanks,

Jeff

Spontaneous reboots are usually caused by bad RAM or overheating.
The cause can sometimes be malware, too.
Have you run the Memory Diagnostics when the system starts up ?

How do I know if my computer has a memory problem?
