Vista - Vista Troubles

Hi,

I tested my new build this morning using Windows Vista Premium using these
items.

I use an old IDE 60GB HD - master, and a 18x DVD drive - slave, on the same
IDE 1 port.

But when I start to install Vista it says this "Windows needs to restart to
continue" which it does fine then it starts and says this " Please wait while
windows starts for the first time..." then after about 15 seconds it restarts
again and it then says this as it tries to boot windows "The computer
restarted unexpectedly or encountered an unexpected error. Windows
installation cannot proceed. To install windows, click 'ok' to restart the
application and then restart the installation".

Also I noticed on boot where it as the black screen at the start it says
this "Memory runs at single channel." from time to time but not allways.

Any ideas?

When is the last time you thoroughly tested your memory with a product such
as MemTest?

I ask because your description of the BIOS message ""Memory runs at single
channel." from time to time but not allways." tells me something's not right
with the motherboard of the memory.

Delete all partitions on the hard drive first, then install. You can do this
during the initial install phase.
