I went to microsoft website and their resolutions aren't really helping me so trying on here. Here is the deal:

I put in the Windows Vista CD, after booting the PC tells me to hit any key to boot from CD, I do. I get into the install fine. Everything goes smoothly, I delete the partitions recreated the Partitions format it and start install. Install goes great, it finishes and reboots everything is loading fine, windows vista loading screen appears... Then everything goes wrong I get a blue screen (of death) for like 0.5 seconds no time to read anything. The pc restarts, when I leave it, it goes to windows laoding screen ( where you get to pick Safe Mode etc) nothing works. When I let it run it's course and timer runs out it restarts again at Vista laoding screen. I took everything out of my PC except my video card and Hard Drive, problem persists. I tried chaning setting in BIOS same issue. I tried switching the Hard drive to a drive that has Windows XP on it in another PC That didn't work at all. POST goes fine and blue screen appears and talks abot a hardware change conflict. (I tried two different video cards same issue). The motherboard comes equiped with a Tritium Platform and it read A0 I looked that up in the POST Codes for Tritium Platform and it's not in there I looked online couldn't find what that code meant. Every website is telling me there is a hardware conflict but I can't find out what it might be. Here is what I am running it on right now:

CABLE BYTECCISA| SATA-118C R
MB EVGA 132-CK-NF78-A1 NF7801 SLI R
PSU TT|W0172RU 850W RT
CPU INTEL| C2Q Q9450 2.66 775 12M R
MEM 2GX2| CORS TWIN2X4096-6400C5 R
HD 500G|ST 7K 32M SATA2 ST3500320AS

SAPPHIRE 100269OCSR Radeon HD 4890 1GB 256-bit GDDR5 PCI Express 2.0 x16 HDCP Ready CrossFireX Support Video Card

Please if you see anything wrong or anything you think will work lemme know.

I have a idea or two. Take the hard drive out and format in a second pc. to make sure it CLEAN If you have a os that will run from the cd rom try that. Like windows live, knoppix or test os. I think you have a hardware problem.
