BSOD at the end of installation

[Guest]

I tried to install Vista Home Premium. At the end of the installation i get
a BSOD . The computer restarted before I could read the error.
I rolled back the installation and after using eventviewer i found this

You could try testing for faulty RAM. Try just one stick at a time, using
some sort of process of elimination. Too, If Vista installs with the least
amount necessary to operate your computer, you can always add the rest
later.

Also, you could run the Memory Diagnostics Tool by booting your Install DVD.

You didn't say what kind of installation you are doing. Upgrade or custom
(clean) and x86 or x64. On the last reboot use the F8 key and have it not
restart on error so you can find out what the problem and code are.
Probably a driver issue at that point and there are several cards that won't
work.

I already done this after my first installation attempt two days ago. Today was my third attemp to install Vista. The diagnostic tool gave no errors. I just tested the memory with checkit diagnostics and it gaven the same result: no errors. All the other software I use works with no problems.

Then I would lean to the direction that John Barnes indicated, that is, a
hardware driver issue. Try installing with the absolute minimal hardware,
leaving only your mouse and keyboard, disconnecting such things as storage
devices (like USB peripherals or external drives), or anything else that
plugs into your computer, before installing. Disconnect your network
connection, and if Install asks you whether it should go online to check for
updates, say no. All hardware can be added after the install, and drivers
can be updated from the Microsoft generic ones, etc., and tested, after each
reboot, one at a time, to possibly find the glitch.
