Monitor issue or full instal issue

After the first restart in the install, (only half way though the process
bar) It tells me it will need to restart more times. It just sits there,
monitor black, monitor not doing anything. I restart on my own, it loads to
the Vista, shows the progress bar in the beginning similar to the XP one,
once loaded, monitor goes black again, says "Unable to connect" to something
like that. I'm not sure if it's because the install is going wrong, or my
monitor is not compatible (I tried 2 monitors)

I'm doing a custom install on my F:\ Drive, booting it off a DVD before
Windows starts.

RE: Monitor issue or full instal issue

Same type of problem here.
I'm having the same problem, I tried the ISO direct to hard drive install
but at around 80-90% just got hung and my monitor became de-activated giving
me just a black screen. I waited 20 minutes to no avail and then restarted
with a roll-back to my previous windows XP. Then I tried to install the
32-bit version using the CD I ordered from Microsoft and the precise same
thing happened. It goes all the way to about 85% and then just sort of
crashes, de-activating my display again and forcing me to restart manually.

My system is a Windows XP SP2 with 940 Gigs of HDD space, 2G Ram, 3.46GHZ,
with Dual Nvidia SLI Graphics cards. I can't possibly imagine what's going
on. I successfully installed Vista on another Notebook computer I have with
hardly the same characteristics.

What gives??????? I'm thinking that I'll have the same problem with the
official public release version.

I got it working, I just made my computer sleep (After about an hour or two,
I hit the button on my keyboard) woke it back up, and the screen worked. I
have to do that every time I restart.
