Vista Help Please

Hi,

I just finished building my first computer. I got everything running smoothly. I installed Vista and it was working .. kinda of slow ... but still working. As I began to install my drivers for the Mobo (chipset, audio, etc.). I restarted my computer as they asked to after the installing of the drivers. However upon rebooting to my load screen where the pw is entered, Vista began to give me blue screen error messages and would force me to restart the computer over again, only to receive the same error message. The blue screen error message would only stay on the screen for a split second. The only thing I could make out was the words "Dumping of Physical Memory: 100%" The numbers would go from 0 - 100 in a split second and once they reached 100, the screen would go blank and I would have to restart.


I therefore concluded that I would have to boot up windows vista from the cd/dvd drive through F12 and re-install vista again. I proceeded to format / delete the first partition (original install of vista). However, when coming to the screen that showed the progress of the install:

Copying Files
Expanding Files
ETC.
ETC.

As soon as the Expanding Files would start, I would get another blue screen error, the following:

STOP: 0x0000000A
"IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL"

After doing some of my own research, it seems that this error is caused by incompatible hardware. I don't think that I have incompatible hardware because it had already worked before... Unless the installing of the mobo drivers could have changed it?

This is really frustrating, any help would be greatly appreciated!

Thank you in advance.

To load the OS use 1 DIMM RAM in slot 1. Go in to BIOS and set the voltage to Mfg. specs.. otherwise, BIOS will default the voltage to 1.8v.
