The cause of this issue appears to be windows update KB946149. It
looks like it does something to the LAN driver which affects the BIOS
in a way that makes vista freeze (in safe mode and after recovery
disks).

This bug can be temporarily disabled either via a total power down or
a reflash of the bios or disabling the LAN interface in the BIOS.

The fix includes
[1] Installing custom driver referenced in previous post
[2] reflash to latest bios

Before emailing me MAKE SURE YOU DOWNLOAD AND FLASH THE LATEST BIOS
(even if it's already installed).
