Clean Install Home Premium Error

[LordofDecay]

I have built a new PC for Vista. Specs are as follows:
AMD Athlon 64x2 6400+
4GB PC2-6400 (800Mhz)
ASUS Crosshair
Evga 8800GTS 512(G92)
Seagate 250GB HD (100GB for Vista)

I can boot and load the Vista Home Premium x64 DVD fine. Partition and
format the drive then perform the install.
On reboot after clean install I get a BSOD then my system reboots. I am
unable to obtain the error message due to speed of reboot.

None of my hardware is malfunctioning. Have bench tested and error checked
my HDD, RAM, CPU and Video card.

Hi:

Did you try to boot in safe mode?

If you could, go to Control Panel, System, remote settings, Advanced tab,
Startup and recovery, settings. Then in system failure, and untick the
option Automatically Restart. n this way you should be able to see the
error. Post it here and we will try to see where it may come from.

The install will not finish before the BSOD occurs. Booting into safe mode
results in "Can not install while in safe mode"

Hi:

OK, try on of the options of F8 -"Disable Automatic Restart on System
Failure", or "Enable low-resolution video 640 x 480", almost any option to
see in any of them you could boot. Could be a video driver problem, but not
sure.

Otherwise I will try first, if possible, a 32bit version, and see if you
have the same problem.

Let us know.

The reason why your getting BSOD screens with this issue, is because you
have 4 GB of memory installed to start with.

To have a clean install without any BSOD errors, you must first install only
2 GB of memory at a time when doing a clean install of Vista. Then once
windows vista updates completely though windows update, to can then add the
other 2 GB of memory.

A MS patch fix must be installed to use over 2 GB of memory.

I am experiencing similar problem to Tommy. I can boot my Vista HP(home
premium) OEM 64bit with a single 2Gig memory stick, but when I add a second
stick, I boot to the scrolling green bar then in 10-15 seconds I get the Blue
screen of death with a 0x0000007e error. My post shows the correct amount of
ram and all but Vista 64bit will not boot. I found a Hotfix item that may
help but I don't know where to download it from. Of course OEM software does
not come with support and I dont want to shell out $60 and not fix my
problem.

The hot fix can be seen here. http://support.microsoft.com/kb/941021

Here is what I do know.
Tried to load Vista Ultamite but 32bit with my full compliment of 4 sticks
of 2Gig each and it loaded and ran but 32 bit and of course it only sees
3-4Gig I want all 8 that is why I got 64bit Vista HP. I can load 64 bit with
one 2 gig stick. My MB XFX 680i LT manufacture told me it is a memory timing
issue and I should relax them from the mfg spec. However they did not tell
me how to do it. I know its in the BIOS but I dont know which way to change
the numbers. I dont want the hit and miss and countless reboots if someone
knows what to do.
