Ok, so tonight I installed an upgrade of Home Premium onto my system.
Everything was going fine until I decided I should probably upgrade my video
drivers for my 6600GT. Upon doing that, I restarted and got a BSOD with the
words:
SYSTEM_EXIT_OWNED_MUTEX
Couldn't get the 0x0* numbers, but I finally figured out it was a hardware
problem. Tried reverting back to old drivers, reinstalling drivers, and
updating to new beta drivers with no avail. I did a windbg on the dump file
and found this:

Probably caused by : ntkrnlpa.exe ( nt+18c85f )
So, its definately something to do with the video driver but now... How do I
fix this? I can't even enter Vista normally, I can only do it in safe mode.
Luckly my XP partition is still there so I can use my computer, but this is
an annoyance.
If anyone has any suggestions, I would highly appreciate it so I can get
back on my feet and actually ENJOY Vista instead of fighting with it...
