Vista - upgrade fail from XP

Hey all,
I have currently installed windows XP home edition on my pc and ordered
windows Vista Home Basic. However, when I wanted to upgrade I got trouble.
First I have to register which all works fine. Then it starts installing and
when it has to reboot for the first time (during the installation) I get a
BSOD.
It sais the following:
***STOP: 0x0000007B (0x87204baq,0x0000034,0x00000000,0x00000000)
When I reset my pc I get the option to either run on my previous version of
windows, which is XP home or continue the setup which gives me the BSOD all
the time.
Those are my specs:
CPU: core2duo E6600 2,4 ghz
Memory: 2GB DDRII
HD: Maxtor 120 GB S-ATA
Motherboard: ASUS P5V-VM DH

Run the Windows Upgrade Advisor which is on the vista disk first. You'll see
what hardware or software is causing this. Remove everything on the list it
says will cause problems or must be removed. Then try installing Vista again.
BTW, Basic is not as good as XP Home. Basic is a bare bones, stripped down
version of vista. You might want to use the Home Premium version. Your
hardware definitely could run it.

I tried removing all those components. Including the ones that the vista
upgrade advisor said were going to cause problems. But for some drivers
you'll have to reboot the pc to complete the uninstallation and when you do
so, it automaticly starts installing drivers for things you just uninstalled
again.
By the way, I want to have Home Premium now, but I would not know how to get
it since I already have the home basic upgrade.
