Re: PC boots to black screen. How to reinstall Vista ("upgrade", not "clean" install)

The best way to reinstall Vista after an upgrade is to buy an imaging
product and image the new system as soon as you get your personalisations
done.
You should try 'Last Known Good' the next time this happens. I would
suggest that you update the video drivers to the latest version also.
