Rawr, I'm at the end of my rope with this..

I'm trying to install Vista Home Basic, and everytime after it finishes the file copying, and installation, and it restarted and prepares to configure and start windows for the first time, but it goes into a BOSD, and then restarts the computer then loads and i get this message :

"The computer restarted unexpectedly or encountered an unexpected error. Windows installation cannot proceed. To install Windows, click "OK" to restart the computer and then restart the installation."'

Now, the thing is i have tested the Hard Drive, and the Memory it all checks out fine...

my system:

Vista Home Basic
Asus P4S00D-X / SiS Northbridge, and South Bridge Chip Set
Intel Celeron 3.0 Ghz
3; 512 Sticks of Ram
80 Gig Maxtor Hard Drive

Hi Segiris,

Welcome to the forum.

Are you trying to do a clean install or a update install?

If you are updating from XP, then it is recommended that you do a clean install with the upgrade version of Vista. This tutorial will show you how if this is the case.

And also might wanna make sure your installing the right version for your computer. You might be trying to install the x64 version on an x86 processor, you can install x86 on an x64 processor but not the other way around. Just an idea.
