Amongst a lot of BSOD's I recieved this message and had to ctrl/alt/del or
something like that. Just curious to what is meant be this ? Not long before
I was running a linux distro from a CD and was wondering if that had
anything to do with it.


I have just installed Vista on a different Hard Drive and will see what
happens with BSOD's. Machine was pretty stable until I installed the latest
drivers from Nvidia for my sli setup and a program for increasing the size
of my images ( photozoom or something like that ). The BSODs in the end just
froze......


Oh what a lovely couple of hours wasted.......thankfully the install vista
without code and then reinstall saved a lot of time
 
Hi,

Booting from a Linux CD distribution shouldn't have any effect on the Vista
installation unless you tried to start setup or write to the hard drive. I
would suspect more a bad install of the drivers.

There are lots of problems with the latest nVidia drivers. I haven't had a
BSOD, but numerous driver crash and recoveries and frozen cursors for up to
10-15 seconds.

The games run great with the drivers but the system is unstable now this may
be the hard drive or the drivers.
