BSOD with new hardware install

I

I just installed the ASUS M3N-HT MoBo, quad core AMD Phenom x4 9600 CPU, and 4G(2x2G) OCZ Fatal1ty RAM, with the nVidia 9800 GTX+ video card.
I had Vista previously installed on my HDD with a different CPU, RAM and MoBo, and had no problems. I've installed all the drivers I could find for the new hardware, and can run the current hardware configuration in safe mode with networking.
Whenever I load up Vista normally it gives me the BSOD at about the same time as the side bar would load, saying SYSTEM_SERVICE_EXCEPTION with the reference of AMDLLD64.SYS. Could anyone please offer some insight on what I can do to fix this? Could it be a registry problem? I've set my RAM at 1066 and 800 settings, hoping that was the problem, but received the BSOD at about the time where the side bar usually would load. I've also tried just having one stick of RAM in, which didn't help. I also went into the BIOS and set it up with the down core set at running it as a dual core, which only made it take longer to get me to the BSOD because it took longer to load Vista. I don't know what else I can do.

I'm pretty sure Windows installs the OS reading your MB serial number...if that changes then normally you have to do a repair install of OS and re-activate windows with a free call to the US of A.

Things may have changed since I last had to do this.

But first I would try a different driver for that graphic card

there is your problem!!! vista will not run if you just transfer the hard drive, at least from what i have been told, seen, and read online.

basically you changed the whole core of the system, and vista is saying aw no you just ilegally made a copy of me. part of micro$ofts anti copy protection.

you have to do a REPAIR INSTALL.

Hello IrishStPatrick,
I would have to agree with the other posts, a new build will always benefit from a clean install of Windows.
Check you Bios is up to date too, heres a link to Asus D/Loads.

If you do update the Bios please dont be tempted to use the update tool in Windows, use the EZ Flash in the Bios, much much safer.
Thats a nice board, so a clean install with the latest drivers and you should be flying.
Good luck and please post your results.
ps.If you give me the exact model of your board i will post the link to the Asus forum for you. is it the deluxe ?

As said in previous post clean install.
If you can get the system running in safe mode then download and burn to disk all the drivers that you are going to require.
Also download SP1 and SP2, dont install them just download them and burn to disk, this way if you ever need to reinstall your OS again you will already have SP1 & 2 on Disk.
Back up anything you want to keep to disk (Data files only), when you reinstall the OS you will probably have to reinstall all the programs required as well.

Good Luck.
