Hi, i just put together my first build and after hours of pain i finally got vista ultimate x64 installed. When i was making username and password etc. the mouse froze up, then the mouse turned into a box and got all glitched up with lines and crap. After a reboot i ran vista in normal mode and i got into the desktop this time and pc froze again. This time mouse did not get all glitched up(later I try 3rd reboot and mouse got messed up) I tried to install some GFX drivers as fast as i could but i froze half way.

SPEC.
790i Ultra
OCZ DDR3 1600 running at 1333 by default
9800GX2
Q9450

If you could help me I would hug you.....but not really :heink:


EDIT: I tried to boot again and this time after vista loaded, i get a black screen and nothing happenes :(

I would first remove anything that doesn't need to be there to run windows. Remove extra RAM, HDD's, wireless cards ect...

Make sure your RAM and processors speeds/voltages are set to factory.

What PSU are you using

I am using http://www.newegg.com/Product/Prod [...] 6817341011 .

And i also kept getting error : PXE-E61: Media Test failure, check cables and
*******: Nvidia boot agent fail *something along those lines* I decided to skip this error and download the OS anyways, could this be causing the issues?

You've got your boot order to boot from network before it boots from the hard drive. Make sure your boot order is 1) CD-ROM 2) Hard Disk. All that message is telling you is that it's attempting to boot from the network card, but there is no cable connected.
