Hi i need some help!....installing windows VISTA Ent.

processor 4 3.0e socket 478
m/b: socket 478 asus p4p800-x
2gb ram 4x512 kingston value ram
gecube 512mb x1600 pro agp
creative sound blaster live
250gb WD hdd partition into 3 drives

the problem is when installation.... it goes all the way until it reaches the part where complete installation half way through it will restart the pc.
then when upon restart it will say some problem and wants to safe mode, safe mode with networking... and so on
then i choose start windows normally then it will come out with the windows vista loading bar then the whole screen goes blank....
nothing at all!

i have already flash my m/b bios to the latest one...
is there anything i miss out?
is it because of my graphic card? is there a way i can flash my graphic card as well?

check ur RAM modules, try remove 1 GB from them
are u installing vista into a SATA HDD ? I heard that for certain SATA, you need to change some BIOS settings...


will try to remove 1gb rams first....
is SATA 2 supported by Windows Vista? because my 250 WD is Sata 2 i feel its my hard disc... will try the rams first.

thanks for the info...

Hi Sifus,

I still face same problem. When it goes to complete installation it will automatically restart, and upon restart i enter using normal mode and after the loading bar it will come out a blue screen for 2 secs and close down.
I tried remove my sound card and also used 1GB of 2GB of ram.
I got a feel that my graphic card is not supported?
mine is Gecube Ati x1600pro 512mb 128bit
please advice.

Thanks.
