    Why does it do that?
    Running Vista Ultimate with all the latest drivers.

    Try 179.24 drivers from nVidia's website. Should fix it.

    I had the issue, along with a couple other people with the same system, and it was nothing but drivers.

    Well wouldn't reinstalling vista also reinstall the drivers? Its not a particular driver that does it (although its in the 180 drivers) but it seems to be a combination of upgrading drivers withing the 180 range that suddenly breaks the system and makes it so that plugging the power in and out makes a hard freeze that spins the fans up and requires a hard reboot.

    not sure on this system but i know someone who had this issue with the dell 1730 and they reinstalled vista then the 180 drivers and everything exactly the way it was before and the problem was solved...nothing at all changed they simply started from scratch and went one driver at a time and reinstalled the same software they had etc and the problem was gone.. so it seems like some kind of quirk i guess..the 570tu of course is not the 1730 so it may not work out the same way in the end
