I am trying to find out if my recent computer problem called, "Vista Black Screen of Death" is a hard drive problem or something else and cannot seem to find or receive an answer.

The reason I am asking is that the diagnostics process here in Montreal runs from 50$ and up and that is just to access the problem not fix it.

If my problem is a Hard Drive problem then I will replace my HD. If it is an OS problem then I would change that as well and probably end end up upgrading what I now have BUT right now I cannot see putting out money to be told something I could have answered, hopefully here.

Right now I have made sure that my laptop does not shut down and since that period, knock on wood, I have been able to do what I need to do on my own laptop but I would really like to know.

So if you have an understanding of this problem, OR know someone who does, could you please give me some kind of answer?
