Black screen right after bios.

I am also going to try these other solutions....

• Install the Update for Windows Vista 64-bit (KB929777) solution.
  
  • Download details: Update for Windows Vista for x64-based Systems (KB929777)

• Check to make sure my memory is set to the correct voltage. (2.75 Volts)
• Re-seat the memory sticks. (4 x 1 GB)

I found a few more possible solutions.

• Repair the BCD.
  • Error message when you start Windows Vista: "The Windows Boot Configuration Data file is missing required information"
• When I set my screen resolution to the hightest 1680x1050 and switched the default DPI scaling from 96 DPI to 120 DPI, which increased the size of the desktop icons, the screen went blank during system restart. I went into safemode and switched it back to 96 DPI and Vista started normal.
• Disable the APM Power Management in the bios.

I may have fixed my Vista Black screen issue. None of the solutions that I mentioned had worked before. I reformated my C drive and started from scratch. Installed Vista Ulimate x64, then the hardware drivers, then the applications, then finally my games. So far I have been able to reboot several times successfully. The only piece of hardware that I have left out is my X-Fi card. It was causing the Snap/Crackle/Pop issues. That card and its drivers may have been the cause of my issues all along.

I also updated my Asus bios with the current beta bios (1405), which I believe fixes the SCP issue of the X-Fi card combined with the NForce 4 chipset.

I am going to install the X-Fi card tonight to see if the beta bios fixes the SCP issue.
