I've installed Vista x64 Business edition on the following pc:
C2D E6600
GigaByte P35-DS3P
4x1 GB DDR2 800
HD2900XT 512 MB

Now, when I boot the system, the following BSOD occurs:
STOP: c0000218 {registry file failure}
The registry cannot load the hive
\SystemRoot\System32\Config\SECURITY
or its log or alternate.
It is corrupt, absent, or not writable.

On the internet you can find a BIOS settings for motherboards like mine, to
solve the problem. unfortunately, that doesn't solve the problem for me.

I tried booting with 2 GB RAM and then Vista works fine. But there is no
such thing as too much memory when running Vista, so I would really
appreciate using 4 GB.

Does anyone have clue how to solve this problem?
