M2N-E and Vista problem

[nitrous9200]

To make a long story short - Vista won't install on an M2N-E; it loads the files and goes to the green bar loading screen for a few seconds, then a BSOD appears with IRQL_LESS_OR_NOT_EQUAL or something similar. Tried to play with the RAM voltage but that didn't help. I still think that the RAM has something to do with it, or maybe it's a BIOS setting. If anybody has installed Vista on the M2N-E and had any tips or tricks, that would be great too. Thanks!

4GB Corsair XMS2 6400

You can't install Vista until you patch the dvd with vlite for the 4GB ram fix.

Use 2gb to install, update vista, install 4gb.

Thanks for the reply. It sounds like you're saying the patch can be installed after Vista is installed, right?

What he's saying is that you can create your own custom "slipstream" install disc by adding the patch to the normal Vista install files using a program called vlite.
Otherwise, just take out 2GB, install Vista and let it install all its updates, then reinstall the other 2GB.

Right, I've heard of it. Thanks a lot for the response.
