Asus p5nd motherboard with 4gig of corsair ram (2x2) intel quad core q6600 2.4 proccessors, coolermaster 700watt psu ,western digital caviar 500gb hard drive, gainward 8800 gt video card, and a samsung dvd rewriter/lightscrib. All in an NZXT hush case s-ata connectors oh and abigg ass zalman heatpipe to cool the chips. Nothing really radical but the bugger wontseem to get beyond the aformentioned blue screen of death

Answer: either slipstream in the updated files and update your CD, or remove 2GB RAM, install Vista, then reinstall it.

Seem to recall I had a similar problem with XP?

Anyway, theres your answer.

bloody hell! i searched and searched microsofts site, but couldnt find a thing.
It looks like thats the answer i'm looking for. Ok i'm gonna have to try it and if not i'll try some of the other reply's, many thanks to all for responding i appreciate the effort
theres nothing as fustrating as a computer and a lack of knowledge combined



well a big thankyou especially to greg i removed i stick of ram and everything loaded and started up fine (crashed again when i put the ram back but i'll download the patches as soon as i've transfered everything over)
