might also, disable all not needed devices in the bios.
including but not limited to serial/parallel, and usb devices.
removing 2 of the memory sticks is a good idea.
as is disabling in the bios one of the 2 hard drives.
some motherboards have problems with all these devices enabled.
as well as memory over 2 gb.

Hi everyone,
When i try to run setup, it goes to the first graphical screen (with
the mouse and the vista blue/green background), and at the first =
attempt
to write to the Hardrive, the system hangs up.....and reboots within a
few seconds of that! :mad:
My setup consists of:
e8400
Asus P5Q pro (with latest Bios)
4 x 1GB crucial ballistix PC2-6400 =20
2 x 250 SATA WD2500AAKS
so far, here is what I've tried:
a) Removed 2 x 1 GB sticks (from DIMM2 and DIMM4 slots).
b) Forced Bios Timings to memory 4-4-4-12 (as oem says) and 2.0 Vdimm
c) tried a different install disk of Vista x64, and even 32-bit
versions
d) removed all drives except one, and tried each one, one by one.
in all 4 cases, it did the same thing.....it hangs up several seconds
into the 1st graphical screen (after loading files and the windows
scroll bar is finished). Again, it seems like there is an attempt to
write to the HD (I see the HD flash for a split sec) and then it =
hangs!
To try to see if it was a Hardware issue, I tried installing Windows =
XP
Pro, and it installed fine :sarc:..........i had to format the drives,
but it installed fine.
next, I tried to install vista again, and it still hangs up!
I'm out of ideas at this point. i've been at this for almost a week
without success. I'm thinking of trying another motherboard =
(Gigabyte,
etc), but I know this mobo can install x64 vista.
