Vista - Install BSOD

Okay, it takes about 3 DAYS for the Windows Upgrade to do (I'm going from
WinXP Home -> WinVista Ultimate Upgrade), and then once it goes through all
the steps and actually attempts to boot into Vista for the first time (not
all the boots through the install, when it actually finishes the upgrade) it
gives me a BSOD.


The BSOD::

IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL

STOP : 0x0000000A ( 0x00000000, 0x0000001B, 0x00000001, 0x81829194 )

This usually means important drivers are corrupt, correct?

Now, in this case, I'm *assuming* that it means the drivers that Vista
installed for itself are corrupt? Would this mean the issue was with the disk
or something?

Any help?

===================================

Maybe the following articles will offer some ideas:

(929777) Error message when you try to install
Windows Vista on a computer that uses more
than 3 GB of RAM: "STOP 0x0000000A"

(930261) You randomly receive a "Stop 0xA"
error in Storport.sys when you start Windows Vista

You're BSOD is not the same as the OP's.

I get the exact same BSOD. However, I was able to load vista (home premium) after several tries. I didn't realize until halfway thru the installation that it was the 32 bit dvd (stupid me didnt see it right on the disc) and I am running a 64 bit processor. I get this error screen at random times all of the time, and usually every time I start up my computer. I have a 64 bit dvd on the way and I am hoping that it will fix my problems. However, for me I think that the problem is my video card driver. I have a 7900 GeForce 256. Many times my monitor will start going crazy and get all fuzzy almost like a tv when it doesnt have a signal. This is strange to me because I have the newest 32 bit vista driver although it was released 3-18-07, so it might not have all the bugs worked out yet. I contacted microsoft support and they sent me the only 2 arcticles that they have on the subject in vista (I think someone in an earlier post had a link to them,) however they both say that they are problems with setups that have 3 or 4 gb ram, and i only have 2. Does I would appreciate any further information on that would help me out, and I will let u know in the 64 bit installation helps.

This is not a chat group....the same BSOD as what/who???
Running a 32bit OS with a 64bit processor should not normally give you a
BSOD...if it did there be a hell of a lot of folks up the creek without a
paddle.....I am sure a lot are running 32bit XP on any number of 64 bit
capable processors.
here is the latest Vista driver for your vid card

Same problem here.

I analysed the crash dump with ERD Commander.

The problem is with c:\windows\system32\drivers\alcxwdm.sys (if i remember right).

Surely you have a Realtec Audio Codec.

Just rename the file to avoid loading.

It worked for me.

Good Luck

Wow Gestur you're 100% right. You are my hero for today!

Care to share on how you used ERD commander to analyse the crash dumps, for future reference?

Thanks!
