I purchased some new parts yesterday for an upgrade but am having problems installing windows. I'm installing Windows Vista home Home premium 64 bit on a re-formatted hard disk. (yes I know Vista isn't very good, I have a windows 7 upgrade just need to get everything loaded)...

The components I'm running -

Intel 2600K
4 gb Gskill 2110 mhz memory
Asrock P67 Extreme 4
Ati HD Radeon 5870.

Vista loads properly, the PC reboots and when it comes back up it says "please wait while windows prepares to load for the first time" and then "completing installation"...

When it's at the "completing installation" screen it will run for 15- 20 seconds and then blue screen on me.

Any insight as to why this might be happening would be great.

Please note I did run a memory diagnostic and no errors were found. ... also attempted installs is now at about 4.
