windows on the same machine causes no problems? that would pretty effectively rule out hardware issues, though its still possible. Follow Doug's advice and try working in a command line for a while to see if you can trigger the problem.

Also, just as a precaution, try systematically removing hardware to see if perhaps a specific hardware driver is causing the problem.

My advice is to take careful detailed notes about what you are doing. Often the problem is something simple that is overlooked and good notes can help in this case. My example is when I tried to diagnose a system that wouldn't boot... I tried everything: new motherboards, new processor, new memory, everything except the video card... which of course was the thing that had failed...
