Vista and the Blue screen of death

Leeroystein · 09-18-2007, 11:24 AM

Hi,
Can anyone Help, I have built a basic machine : Celeron D 336 on an MSI P4M900M2 board, with 512mb of memory. 80gig hard disk. When I install Vista home basic, I get the blue screen indicating IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL. Some times on the install stage. Then when it's finally installed the system reboots randomly indicating it has just recovered from the blue screen.

I have changed the Porcessor for a P4 3.0gh and upgraded the memory to a gig but still same problem. Does anyone know what I should do?

Thanks guys!

Try to install XP and see if it does the same thing, sounds like a hardware issue
