yes, all hardware was purchased at the same time, however, notably, one stick of my dual channell OCZ (which I've had good luck with in the past) of ram was DOA, and my motherboard was defective however, it did not show any symptoms until I upgraded to vista. I've had trouble with the power in my house, with surges and the like, and, I have my system hooked up to an APC surge protector/ battery backup. (which means its no better than just plugging it strait into the wall) I have been meaning to invest in a monster surge protector but just haven't done it yet.

What's the matter with APC ? Good protection as far as I know. Sufficient watts/run time?
Upgraded to Vista? From what I've seen I'll keep XP for about 5 years yet

OCZ Ram doa, huh? stranger yet... good rep there too.

I've just seen too many complaints about Vista-- driver issues being number one among them...
Your issue could be buggy video-card drivers.
Microsoft would not release a lot of code to many companies that depend on the Windows market-- Symantec sued over it.

The release of Vista was pushed back many,many times (over 1.5 years) due to problem after problem. They were actually going to totally change the file system from XP--and had to start over about a year ago...

How close are you to your friend. Would he allow you to test parts from his PC to see if you can find what's causing your problems? There are times I find myself testing out one part at a time until I find what is causing a problem, but I'm still not convinced it's a PC hardware problem, since you are able to break out of your game in order to return to the desktop. Did you try updating your graphics drivers as bills suggested?
