problems with vista ultimate

guys i am about to tell you about what happend to vista on monday and a few
other things. on monday windows vista ultimate was working fine i had to shut
my computer down because i went to the gym then when i got back i turned on
my pc then it went through its usual loading then right about when vista was
about to startup after the cursor appeared then i waited and it did not boot
up and it stayed at a black screen so i tried using last know good
configuration on my pc booted up good then i logged in and just as the log on
screen faded out then it locked up then i tried it again then the windows
vista splash thing came on then i hear one note of the tune reapeating and
the only thing i could do is restore from my backup so i did that and now my
computer is back at last backup i did.

then i was using it yesterday my computer was working fine on vista and
window vista starts getting choppy with me like its not being smooth and im
trying to figure out why im not getting smooth performance plus vista did
lock up when i shutted it down vista did not lock up on me on before the
booting up issue occured

is there anyway i can improve vista performance?

hp pavilion m7434n media center pc
1GB of RAM
NVIDIA GEFORCE 6700SE TURBOCACHE
200GB HARD DRIVE

sorry if the story was long

I would first test you RAM, and if no help, download a diagnostic app for
your hard drive from it's maker's site.
This is a good app for memory testing.
Memtest86.com - Memory Diagnostic: http://www.memtest86.com/
There is also one built into the 'maintenance' tools on the start menu
