Vista Install Problem

G

Guest

i bought the Vista Home Premium upgrade 32-bit from Alienware and i was
trying to install it, it goes all the way through the install process to
where it gets to the step after "installing new features" (this step is
something like "completing upgrade"). But as soon as it gets to 55% on that
part, the screen goes black then it takes me to the blue screen, this is what
appears when it goes to the blue screen:<br>
<br>
<font face="Courier New">A problem has been detected and Windows has been
shut down to prevent damage to your computer.<br>

<br>
If this is the first time you've seen this Stop error screen,<br>
restart your computer. If this screen appears again, follow these steps:<br>
<br>

Check to make sure any new hardware or software is properly installed,<br>
If this is a new installation, ask your hardware or software manufacturer
for any windows updates you might need.<br>
<br>
If problems continues, disable or remove any newly installed hardware<br>
or software. Disable BIOS memory options such as caching or shadowing.<br>
If you need to use Save Mode to remove or disable components, restart your
computer, press F8 to select Advanced Startup Options, and then select Safe
Mode.<br>

Hi,

As the problem seems to be occuring with files for the video card, I'd first
recheck BIOS settings related to it. In particular make sure the rom
shadowing for video is disabled.

It may use a phrase like copy to ram or similar and not necessarily the
terms "rom shadowning". Normally, it's found in the advanced chipset
settings.

I looked through the bios and all of its options, "F2" for me during startup,
and i couldn't find anything to do with cacheing or rom shadowing or anything
of the likes, i looked through the alienware website and they said that vista
doesnt support RAID 0 hard drive setups yet and thats what i have, could that
possibly be whats wrong?

Hi,

Vista will install on Raid 0 as long as there is a compatible driver for it
from the motherboard manufacturer. It needs to be installed at the point of
setup where you choose the installation location.

I never got a chance to choose where to install vista,

i uninstalled all the ati drivers and the catalyst control center
and when i tried installing vista again it never took me to a blue screen of
death it just restarted my computer and the install was never completed, so
basically what happened before, just without the blue screen.

How would i go about disabling the " rom shadowing " i checked my BIOS
settings during startup by pressing F2 and i did not see any settings
related
to rom shadowing.

:

Hi,

As the problem seems to be occurring with files for the video card,
I'd
first
recheck BIOS settings related to it. In particular make sure the rom
shadowing for video is disabled.

i bought the Vista Home Premium upgrade 32-bit from Alienware and i
was
trying to install it, it goes all the way through the install
process
to
where it gets to the step after "installing new features" (this step
is
something like "completing upgrade"). But as soon as it gets to 55%
on
that
part, the screen goes black then it takes me to the blue screen,
this
is
what
appears when it goes to the blue screen:

A problem has been detected and Windows has been
shut down to prevent damage to your computer.

ati2dvag.dll

TERMINAL_SERVER_DRIVER_MADE_INCORRECT_MEMORY_REFERENCE

If this is the first time you've seen this Stop error screen,
restart your computer. If this screen appears again, follow these
steps:


Check to make sure any new hardware or software is properly
installed,
If this is a new installation, ask your hardware or software
manufacturer
for any windows updates you might need.

If problems continues, disable or remove any newly installed
hardware
or software. Disable BIOS memory options such as caching or
shadowing.
If you need to use Save Mode to remove or disable components,
restart
your
computer, press F8 to select Advanced Startup Options, and then
select
Safe
Mode.
