I know the error was: Stop 0x000000f4 (0x00000003, but can't recall the mem locations beyond that. It was a RAM memory mis-match fault in my case. I had installed 1gig (2x512mb) of mis-matched RAM in that one was PC2700 and the other PC2100 - it worked OK with XP SP1, but the SP2 didn't like it. Don't know if you have a similar problem / setup but if you can get your hands on some new RAM it might be worth trying. Ron |

I am using the original RAM that came in the laptop. The laptop is only 5 months old.

Didn't know exactly where to post it too. It could be an XP problem or a Vista problem I won't know that until I get a little help. Are you going to go to the Vista group and answer the question?

Since the laptop is only 5 months old, be sure to give the mfg's support folks a shot at diagnosing it. Just because memory works with XP does not mean it will always work with Vista. Vista is less tolerant of hardware issues than XP. Also, I take it you are installing with a retail Vista upgrade edition. If so, I believe that you are entitled to installation support from MS. The phone numbers should be in the retail box. At a guess I would say there may be a BIOS update on the mfg's website you need.
