Hello, i'll straight to the point: i've bought Vista home premium 64 bit with SP1 included. My hardware is: intel E8400 on a asus p5k-e, asus 9800gtx, 4gb ram kingston, WD velociraptor hd. I can install Vista up to the first time it shows me the desktop, i can download updates, browse the internet and so on. But when i restart the PC (or stopand start again) the boot will stop soon after the green progress bar will be displayed. Then the PC will go in something like power saving (the monitor goes in idle, the hd stops working). And it's just the same if i let it do the updates or not, install the latest drivers or not, i've even flashed the bios with the newest one..no changes. only when, after that issue, windows asks me if i want to start in normal mode or the "no driver mode" (no idea about the exact words in english, i'm sorry) if i choose that second mode it can boot..so it seems to me a driver issue.. It's not a matter of the multi boot, it does the same even with only that hd installed in the PC. My other hd with XP works just fine in the same PC. I've tried everything i could think about..really have no clue about what to try next.. anyone got any idea about what i should do? Thanks in advance! |

Hi, There is a known issue with installing Vista x64 when 4GB of ram is installed. Remove 2GB, then install Vista and reinstall the extra 2GB after it is complete. -- Best of Luck, Rick Rogers, aka "Nutcase" - Microsoft MVP http://mvp.support.microsoft.com/ Windows help - www.rickrogers.org My thoughts http://rick-mvp.blogspot.com "Maxdemian" <Maxdemian@discussions.microsoft.com> wrote in message news:2B3AC372-F5CC-4D99-A6FC-095D364A8441@microsoft.com... > Hello, > i'll straight to the point: i've bought Vista home premium 64 bit with SP1 > included. > My hardware is: intel E8400 on a asus p5k-e, asus 9800gtx, 4gb ram > kingston, > WD velociraptor hd. > > I can install Vista up to the first time it shows me the desktop, i can > download updates, browse the internet and so on.

That would result in a BSOD. This sounds like a powersave misconfig or corrupt file. I think he might be on to something concerning it being a driver.
