Upgrading build questions - Page 2

OK, so far so good. everything installed (lost the TV tuner card because had to put VGA in slot 1, covering the slot for it).

Had to move around some wiring and now installing windows (complete install). Copying Windows complete, working now on expanding files (0% - how long should this take?).

OK, went through whole process and now doing it again (multiple BSODs).

Back again.

Ran the Vista complete install three times - now have three installs, as well. Clean them up later

When I boot up now the board posts and after some bios stuff I get F1 to continue or DEL to enter setup. F1 gets more bios stuff with an option to press any key to boot from CD/DVD. Leaving it alone takes me to a screen that says something about windows starting for the first time, then to a final "Installing Windows" screen - where it says completing installations. After an automatic restart it runs through the same process but I get a BSOD. Stuck and looking for assistance.

What alphanumeric code (s) are you getting on the BSOD?
