This is my 100th attempt at installing Vista, first 64 bit and finally
settled on the 32 bit version with SP1. I continue to get the dreaded
BSOD.... What i've done.... fresh format, new install... updated ALL
drivers with the most current versions. Ran chckdsk, memtest86, and ran
system file checker.... all have checked out okay. Could someone take a look
at my last two minidump files and point me in the right direction? Any help
appreciated, thanks

It would be easier if you would start with the BSOD code provided.

Next, I'd remove the TV Tuner Card and see if you still get the BSOD.

Yes, but I'm seeing your post from a newsgroup and do not see any minidumps.

PS. Did you try the suggestions from the posts you placed on TechArena?
(Which also did not include the minidumps and appears to be a copy of the
cross post from the vista.general newsgroup.)

Ah,... I found them. Posted under the VistaHeads.com forum (2 weeks ago)
where I answered you then with a rather lengthy diagnostic. Have you tried
all of those suggestions?

http://www.vistaheads.com/forums/mic...-question.html

Did you send the dump files to Rick Rodgers as he requested?
http://forums.techarena.in/vista-help/1112423.htm

Or, maybe the eggheadcafe.com
http://www.eggheadcafe.com/software/...vista-x64.aspx
or,
realgeek.com
http://www.realgeek.com/forums/bsod-...64-473887.html
, or
....
They all answered you as I did above. Remove the TV Tuner and try again.

If you don't want to provide feedback on how our suggestions have turned
out, I'm not sure how we can help you.
After 100 attempts, I would think you were at the point of performing a very
systematic approach to fixing the problem. But, it looks like your seeking a
silver bullet.

Hello Mark... i'll do as you advise and get back to you. Rick has suggested
i check the MB; "and look for leaky or bulging capacitors. If you find any,
even one, then
the motherboard needs to be replaced".

Also about the TV turner card, i haven't tried using the card...as in
running Media Center yet, trying to get everything fixed, and i'm only using
the drivers downloaded by Vista. The fact that the card is sitting idle,
would it still crash the system?

Thanks, Mick

Mark since those post, i've reformatted and install vista 32, having been
told that the 64 bit version might be the trouble, so those minidumps will
not work for my recent set-up.

Okay, but...

1. The TV tuner card is a known issue with Vista. It works well for some
and not at all for others.
2. The minidumps you are referring to are still no where to be found.

The errors in your prior minidump are related to driver issues. If the card
is installed, then the driver is installed and running. By removing the
card, the driver is disabled or removed. This is true for most any
component: video card, usb drive, etc.

You should be considering taking anything out of your computer not needed to
perform the install. Then, once complete, install components one at a time
until the BSODs start to show up.

One more thing...

You mention only using the drivers that Vista downloads. These are not
always the best drivers. Microsoft drivers tend to be watered down providing
only the most critical functions of a device. You should download and
install drivers for components from the manufacturer of that component.
The list below is based on the specs you provided:

BIOS: Version F7 9/08
http://america.giga-byte.com/FileLis...45-ud3p_f7.exe
Motherboard: 10/08
http://america.giga-byte.com/FileLis...4x5_sereis.exe
Audio: Realtek (onboard) Version 2.07 1/09
http://america.giga-byte.com/FileLis...tek_azalia.exe
LAN: Realtek (onboard) Version 6.213 1/09
http://america.giga-byte.com/FileLis...8111_vista.exe

Can't tell if you're setup for RAID configuration. But, this requires two
sets of drivers to install with Vista.

Video: Radeon 3850 Version 9.1 1/09
https://a248.e.akamai.net/f/674/9206..._enu_74233.exe
TV Tuner: WinTV-HVR-1800 Version 4.6+ 10/08
http://hauppauge.lightpath.net/softw...d/cd_4.6a+.zip

Do you own a flat screen? (It has drivers also that are needed to work with
power management.)
Specialized mouse?
