Blue screen and error messages trying to install vista 64 bit

Built a new machine, Wish list details

trying to install windows vista fresh got me a blue screen. so i thought maybe if i installed a Windows xp and installed some drivers it would work but there a error message that it cant run i should use the windows install media. and restarting the comp with the dvd still gets me a blue screen.

Is this a common thing? any help would be much appreciated.

Your are trying to install with all 4 sticks of RAM ?
Install only with 2 ,i thinm it should run fine then.
Once Vista is installed , apply the Patch available (from microsoft for 4GB Systems) and then put the other two sticks in.
This should work unless there are some other issues.

Let us know.

Re: Blue screen and error messages trying to install vista 64 bit

alright ill try that. Man the memory for this rig has been a real pain. First it gets hung up on the memory test when booting it with no OS, and after swapping it with my teacher's sons ram(2gig sticks of the same manufacturer) it ran fine, my ram was ok on his board. and when we swapped back it started up fine with no isssues. very wierd

ill post back around 4pm est thats when class starts

Hi Maltrix,
I would think you can download/install update KB935280 manually?
