Windows XP is installing just fine however Vista 64BIT doesn't want to , after the install it comes up with windows did not start correctly blah blah. Click on safe mode or continue and it bsod with ( irq not less than equal ). Only once did i actually get into vista and it was working fine it did a windows update , restarted and no longer worked BSOD.

I'm using windows xp now temp as i try to figure out whats going :mad:
 
Do you have any peripherals or PCI cards other than the baseline necessities?

Have you tried booting into the memtest option?

I'd test your ram - there's an option in the Vista boot selection when it restarts from a bsod :)
 
do you have SP1 integrated?

If not, try installing and updating to SP1, and then adding the Creative card? IIRC, pre-SP1 really didn't get along with creative drivers..
 
If you only have 2GB RAM, go XP 32bit, or even better, stick with Vista. I'd bet money that BOSD is a driver issue. Check that you have the lastest vista drivers for everything.

give us a bit more spec info :)

motherboard
soundcard
graphics card


possibly try the soundcard in a different slot

my xfi plain failed to work in one pci slot with vista
 
Right its up and running , i put the system on default and memory on SPD... so something that works fine in windows xp isn't working in vista. Will need to go through it and see whats causing it ;)

Click to expand...

It could be something that works fine in 32bit doesn't work fine in 64bit, rather than XP/Vista ;)

I had to lower my overclock when I first went 64bit, even though it was completely prime stable in 32bit Vista..
