Hey everyone, Been reading this great resource of a forum for awhile but have not been registered, until a few days ago when i started seeking solutions to a problem i'm having with the installtion of my OS on my new system. The problem: The installation just stops after loading all the Windows files after booting from the DVD. Everything loads ok (seemingly) but then there's just this blue/green screen and i get no further. Mouse is movable however so it's not quite frozen either (confusing). I have currently got an installation of XP Pro 32-bit running perfectly and it has shows no problems with the hardware, which is as follows: # Intel Core 2 QUAD Q6600 2.4GHz 8MB FSB1066 # Asus P5K/EPU iP35 4DDR2-DIMM 2PCI 4PCIe SATA Audio GB-LAN Firewire Socket775 ATX # Antec NeoPower HE High Efficiency 500W PSU # Sparkle GeForce 8800GT 512MB # Corsair TWIN2X 6400 DDR2, 4096MB (2x2048) CL5 # Seagate Barracuda 300 GB SATA-300 (x2) The full name of the new OS is Microsoft Windows Vista Home Premium SP1 64-bit SWE OEM, which I got with the new pc i purchased. BIOS has been upgraded to the latest version, I have tried with only running 1 (one) memory module (2gb), but still this problem persists. I have yet to try the Slipstream SP1 Tutorial that I've found on this forum, as I still think it's a Vista vs hardware compatibility issue. But any help or pointers would be fantastic, as it's a real bother that I can't use this product I've paid for and which I was really excited about. Thanks alot. Regards, G -- Suney |

64-bit OS supports 64-bit CPUs, check out whether your Intel Core is 64-bit CPU.

It's most certainly a x64 processor, but it's solved now anyhow. Sorry for bothering you all ;) The problem was me being impatient! In a last desperate try i put on the installation this morning and just let it sit there. After 1,5-2h (could never ever imagine that before) next screen came up and then the rest of the installation went on smoothly. Now all's up and running, had no issues with anything except Panda 2008 that gave me a BSoD when booting windows. Have no complaints on Vista so far, hope it sticks to that :) -- Suney |

All Core 2 processors are 64bit. Only the Core processors are not.
