Re: Help Read Minidump!
No help? :(
Okay, status update. The last install crashed and wouldn't boot up so I was forced to reinstall Vista. The catch was my SATA DVD drive wouldn't install Vista (neither x32 or x64), so I had to use a temporary IDE drive.
Now, I had Vista x64 w/ SP1 installed. All my drivers are updated (Radeon 4870 GPU, Soundmax sound, Marvell Yukon ethernet controllers) and most Vista updates are installed. The update exceptions are security updates, which have failed to install (BSOD in middle of installation), some Media Center updates, and KB947562 (a compatibility update), which also failed.
This system (Intel Duo E8400, WD6400AAKS 640GB HDD, CORSAIR XMS2 DHX 4GB RAM [2 GB installed now], Asus Rampage Formula mobo) passed Memtest86+ and chkdsk with flying colors and I'm subjecting it to Prime95 right now.
If the computer doesn't crash during Prime95, I think it's driver issues, or 64-bit issues in general...
Oh, might it be the SATA DVD drive? It run CDs fine and I don't see how it could crash Vista when it's not in use, but it couldn't install Vista in the first place...
