If it gets to windows and gives a Blue screen before rebooting I would try updating graphics drivers. If it wont even begin to boot Windows you may have a hardware problem.
To further investigate the issue you may do the following.
1.go to control panel --> administrative tools then select event viewer. check on system logs. you might be able to find a clue on why the notebook keeps on freezing after 15 to 20 minutes.
2.please check your virus definitions if its fully updated. If not please update it then do a full scan afterwards.
3. do a windows update on your system if it's not fully updated yet.
4. You may also check or try to remember what has been installed lately. It might be that the application installed have caused vista to freeze.
Or you may also check this link for another user who has the same issue.
probably this might cause by a conflicting windows update. i would suggest try to do a system restore first, restore it to the time when the webcam was working fine. after system restore if it works then i want you to disable the windows update from control panel. if this fails then proceed to uninstalling and resintalling the webcam driver.
contact Customer support first and have them help you diagnose it. If you just bought it, you shouldn't try to do anything too drastic. You might want to back up your files right now though because it might get worse or you might have to send it to Dell and they may send you a completely different laptop. Back up, call Dell.
