Hey all,
So I finally decided to buy Vista along with a few other needed upgrades:
EVGA 122-CK-NF68-A1 LGA 775 NVIDIA nForce 680i SLI ATX Intel Motherboard
EVGA 512-P3-N841-A3 GeForce 8800GTS (G92) 512MB 256-bit GDDR3
Intel Core 2 Duo E8400 Wolfdale 3.0GHz LGA 775 65W
CORSAIR XMS2 4GB (4 x 1GB) 240-Pin DDR2 SDRAM
Old parts kept:
Aerocool 640w PSU
Maxtor 250gb sata drive
Cheap IDE DVD/CD-RW
are the parts that I am upgrading. Everything is posting fine BIOS looks good. Vista installation however is giving me problems. I get past the format screen to the expanding files screen and at some random percentage the machine just locks. All crashes happen sub 30%. After the crash the keyboard is locked on even after the machine is hard shut down. I have checked everything multiple times...What do you think it could be?
