Windows Vista Upgrade Page Fault

Hi galoring,

I can't be sure this is applicable to you but all of the systems I have
heard of which run o.k. in XP and then BlueScreen in Vista have been RAM
problems. Please download memtest86 (its free) and do a thorough scan of
your memory. You may need to replace the RAM, downclock the RAM, or increase
the voltage of the RAM to make it stable. A bad sector at the end of the RAM
stick may not cause a problem with XP but can cause regular bluescreens with
Vista because of the increased security to prevent buffer overflow
exploitation. Again, I can't be sure this will fix your problem but it is
free to try and easier than installing 20programs.

Alternatively it could be motherboard drivers which need an update but
please check the memory anyway just to keep me happy.

Best Regards,
Mr Slartybartfast.
