Vista Will NOT Install Using My Motherboard.

Posted: 07-17-2006, 09:59 AM
I have a Asus P4R800-V Deluxe Motherboard and vista has serious issues when
trying to install. (Fresh install on a formatted 120gb single sata HD not
raid configured, booting from Vista DVD)

1) If Sata is enabled in my bios and i have my AGP GFX card plugged in
(AX800XT Platinum) Vista will get to the loading windows files then when it's
done i get a black screen and have to reset.

2) If i disable Sata in bios with GFX card plugged in i xcan get to the
which drive do you want to install vista to but as sata is disabled in bios
my HD obvisouly does not show so can't install Vista.

3)If I enable Sata in bios and unplug GFX card Vista will let me choose
which HD to install to, my sata HD is in list and i select it and click next
it will then start to copy window files and then lock up my pc whilst copying
files of expanding files and i have to reset pc. I have not got any further
forward than this and i can not install vista and i think it must be my
motherboard that is not compatible with Vista.

Hey, I have the same MB and I fought this for a while, but I think I've finally beat it.

I went into my BIOS and turned off EVERYTHING that I could and the installer FINALLY moved past the extracting files and I am now booted into Vista.

Note: Do not turn of ACPI as it doesn't seem neccesary and I read you might have to reinstall if you turn it back on.

Some of the things I know I turned off are:
LAN Controller
Sound Controller
All Serial Ports
Parallel Port
Hyperthreading (based on another post I saw)

Now that I'm in Vista I've already turned back on
Hyperthreading
LAN Controller

I'm applying updates now and once that is complete I'll prob either go and turn everything back on individually or maybe even reset BIOS to defaults.

Hope this helps you out.
