hi guys, im just installing a computer with a passive nvidia 8500GT and windows vista 32 ultimate. the thing is that i can install vista perfectly, but after i install the nvidia drivers, system restarts and is about to go to the desktop, the screen goes black....

whats the problem here?

Definitely sounds like a driver issue to me, how it cuts out right as you get to windows. It might have a problem loading the driver, or it might be defaulting to a resolution your monitor can't handle.

I would boot the computer in safe mode, uninstall the drivers, reboot, and try installing them again. HTH!
