It's prob the video card drivers. Nvidia has still is yet to fix the bugs out of their drivers with vista including the latest ones.
Are you using the latest nvidia driver for that card?
Try uninstalling the nvidia driver and let Vista install to the defualt WHQL Vista driver for that card and see if it's still is causing the problem. If it isn't than that's what caused the problem.

hes right 8800 series vista drivers are crappy tbh. id also install winxp in a partition to dualboot would be totally worth it for gaming until vista runs smooth in games
