I just built a new computer about a week ago. Got it put together with no problems, and it worked perfectly until this afternoon. Today I was playing WoW, and had iTunes and a browser running in the background. I alt-tabbed out of game to the desktop, and everything just locked up. The screen went to a slightly whited out look, but you could still see everything. The only thing I could do was a hard restart.

When the computer restarted, it came up to the post page, then to the Vista loading bar, then flashed a very fast blue screen, and rebooted itself. On the reboot, I get the "you computer shut down unexpectedly" message. Regardless of which option I choose, I always get the same quick flash blue screen and auto start cycle before Vista loads.

If I put in the Vista cd, and attempt to repair, get the following. The initial loading bar runs, then when the next screen should come up, the entire process goes into slow motion. it takes a solid 5 minutes to load the next screen background, and another 5-10 minutes before it totally loads. If I wait it out, I eventually get to the install/repair screen. When I choose repair, I wait another 5 min, then I am at a dead end, as the OS doesn't show up in the repair window.

Anyone have any ideas as to how I should proceed here?
