| | Vista installation trouble, help please I have a new motherboard (abit nh-m2sv), X2 +3800 processor, 2 gig pc4200 memory ATI graphics, DVD RW, Maxtor SATA drive, all are suppose to be Vista ready, but vista either won't install, or installs with BSOD's then will only run in Safe Mode. I have tried Home Basic and premium, the same issue, I install my old faitful XP and it goes straight in. I have run memtest, all fine, I have removed the gfx card, no change, I have tried an IDE hdd rather than a SATA no change. Can someone please help? |

What about drivers for that SATA Maxtor hard drive? Are you starting the install with only the mouse, keyboard and monitor connected? |

I can only think it is a compatibility issue as XP will install, but I need to be running Vista. |

| | Re: Vista installation trouble, help please If you can run in safe mode and not normal mode you have a driver problem. Set your computer to not automatically restart in System Properties to get a better error message. Install the proper video driver in safe or low resolution startup "Steve C-R" <SteveCR@xxxxxx> wrote in message news:B0D4D6EF-312A-49F4-B504-D342DBE428E4@xxxxxx Quote: > > > "Kevin" wrote: > Quote: >> >> >> "Steve C-R" <SteveCR@xxxxxx> wrote in message >> news:601188B9-03C1-44C4-ACCA-A56DA408A30B@xxxxxx Quote: >> > I have a new motherboard (abit nh-m2sv), X2 +3800 processor, 2 gig >> > pc4200 >> > memory ATI graphics, DVD RW, Maxtor SATA drive, all are suppose to be >> > Vista >> > ready, but vista either won't install, or installs with BSOD's then >> > will >> > only >> > run in Safe Mode. >> > >> > I have tried Home Basic and premium, the same issue, I install my old >> > faitful XP and it goes straight in. >> > >> > I have run memtest, all fine, I have removed the gfx card, no change, I >> > have >> > tried an IDE hdd rather than a SATA no change. >> > >> > Can someone please help? >> What is the error shown at installation?

| | Re: Vista installation trouble, help please Have you turned off auto restart in system properties advanced so you can get a better error message, unless you want to go into your mini-dump and pull it out. I would update to the latest BIOS also. I can't find you mobo listed anywhere and the slow ram you are using, maybe the BIOS is pre Vista and needs to be updated "Steve C-R" <SteveCR@xxxxxx> wrote in message news  340A8C9-3C94-41E7-94A2-6DF490D00930@xxxxxxQuote: >I have tried to instal with and without the graphics card (by using the > onboard gfx) and still the same issue > > "John Barnes" wrote: > Quote: >> If you can run in safe mode and not normal mode you have a driver >> problem. >> Set your computer to not automatically restart in System Properties to >> get a >> better error message.
