Re: Can't start Vista with graphics drivers installed
Well, the Win7 (Pro 64) installation couldn't even complete before I got a blue screen.

I think W7 detects cards and installs drivers as part of the installation.

Managed to get a screenshot of the blue screen.

So would you agree it looks like the motherboard? Flashing with the latest BIOS doesn't fix it.

Any chance it could be the processor itselft? Don't want to buy a new AM3 mobo only to find I need to buy a new processer too, in which case I wouldn't have bought AM3 Though that might be a good excuse to buy even more stuff

Assuming it is the mobo, can anyone recommend a good AM3 (I think its AM3) - that'll take a Phenom II 550? If so, can you reply on the separate thread I've started to make it easier for others to find if they have the same question for different reasons?

Thanks
