Howdy! I've built a new rig from scratch and foolishly thought Vista would be easy to install but i keep getting stop errors when Vista tries to install itself.

There have been a few but the one i managed to jot down is DRIVER_IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL. It copied the files to the HDD, then expanded them and so on. It then got to the point where it restarted to complete the install then the first error came up upon Vista trying to load for the first time. I rebooted and have gotten one ever since with it failing to load up the OS at all.

I expected hassle from it but not this early lol. Any help would be grand. Thanks all.

Anybody? There must be someone who has come across this that can help? I'm stuffed until i can get it working because i need to hook up a TV tuner to it in order to watch TV. The only other option i have is to buy Media Centre Edition but i really don't want to do that if i can help it.
