Crashing after SP1 install

[zanshin]

I've formatted the parition a few times.

It is a partitioned drive on this computer, trying to install vista home premium because my work people don't support win 7 64bit.

I have to have up to sp2, but every time I install sp 1, the comp restarts a couple times finishing the install process then when it should start up normally during bar going back and forth across screen it bluescreens for a second and restarts computer.

I make sure and install all the chipset/video/hardware drives first, but it doesn't make a difference. I've tried through both the auto updater and downloading straight from the microsoft website.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks.

Can you get a long enough glimpse at the blue screen (near the bottom) to tell what is causing the error?

If you can get to safe mode and are able to access the internet, you might download blue screen viewer and run it to see what is causing the issue.

Unfortunately the blue screen lasts a second at most. Feels like less.

Trying a blue screen reader now, vista is on a different partition, so trying to to find the file path to point the scan at.

No apparent folder in c:\windows\MiniDump
