I'm trying to format vista (home premium x64), but I have ran into some problems. I boot up from the CD, but after the screen that says "Windows is loading files" i get a BSOD with the following code:

0x0000007e (0xffffffffc0000005, 0xfffff8000985e251, 0xfffff98000a05b98, 0xfffff98000a05570 ).

What can be the problem?

My system:

Asus P5N32-E
Intel C2D E6850
OCZ PC2-6400 4GB (2x2)
Club3D Nvidia Geforce 8800GTX
Corsair HX620W
Samsung Spinpoint T166 500GB
