Sounds like you could have faulty RAM or your HD has bad read/write sectors on it. Difficult to say without swaping out parts. Take it to a shop so they can figure out what needs to be replaced.

Hi Brandy19960,
Thanks for the posting in FIXYA.
Please do the following steps:
Step
– 1
Right-click
on My Computer, open Properties, click the Advanced tab. Under “Startup &
Recovery,” click Settings. Under “System Failure,” Uncheck the box in front of
“Automatically restart.”
Step
- 2
To
change the setting, click Start --> Run--> type GPEDIT.MSC, click OK.
Drill down to
Computer Configuration | Windows Settings | Security Settings | Local Policies
| Security Options.
In the right pane, find “Shutdown: Clear Virtual Memory Pagefile.”
NOTE: Since someone actually has to have set this policy, the
problem will be pretty rare, but is worth mentioning. However, Forum
participant “roadrunner” reported that the personal security app Privacy Eraser
automatically enables “Clear virtual memory pagefile,” and, therefore, may be
the cause of a slow shutdown.
Step
- 3
When
Windows XP won’t powerdown automatically, the APM/NT Legacy Power Node may not
be enabled. To enable this, right-click on the My Computer icon, click
Properties | Hardware | Device Manager | View. Check the box labeled “Show
Hidden Devices.” If it’s available on your computer, there will be a red X on
the APM/NT Legacy Node. Try enabling it and see if this resolves the powerdown
problem (Tip from Terri Stratton). Or, to check the other side of the APM/ACPI
coin, open the Power Options applet in Control Panel. If there is an APM tab,
make sure the “Enable Advanced Power Management Support” box is checked.
Step
- 4
----------
Try
a Shutdown shortcut -
For a shortcut to RESTART Windows XP:
SHUTDOWN -r -t 01
For a shortcut to SHUT DOWN Windows XP:
SHUTDOWN -s -t 01
Step 5
---------
WORK-AROUND: Disable power management for your USB hub: Open Device Manager
(click Start, click Run, type DEVMGMT.MSC, click OK). Double-click to expand
Universal Serial Bus Controllers. Double-click USB Root Hub. Click Power
Management. Uncheck the box “Allow the computer to turn off this device to save
power.” OK your way out
Step – 6
-----------
Click on the
Start button.
Select Run from the menu.
In the run dialog box type “msconfig”.
Click OK.
Once in the
msconfig utility select the startup tab. In the startup tab you will see
several programs listed with a checkbox beside it. If there is a check mark
beside the application listed, the application will startup when your computer
starts up.
Regards
ELLIN

Windows Vista will not install on old computers. If this is your case try installing Windows XP, If this does not work you might want to try Linux (Ubuntu). which will run on almost any old computer with full capabilities.
It is free and you can download it from
http://www.ubuntu.com/

From what you are saying i would try installing on different hard drive, as it sounds like file corruption is playing a big part of your problems. If it isnt the hard drive then it may be one of your ram chips
