Graphic card install hangs Vista after crcdisk.sys
I have:
HP Pavilion m8013w Athlon 64 X2 4800+ 2.5Ghz ASUS M2N68-LA motherboard ONBOARD GeForce 6150se 4GB Ram Windows Vista Home Premium SP1 I have tried to install graphics cards in PCI-E: Radeon HD 2400 Radeon HD 4850 I get BSOD on startup of Vista; Safemode shows last driver installed is crcdisk.sys, then it hangs at that in safemode, or black screen in normal. I can remove the graphics card, and it will start up properly. At first I thought it was my ineffectiveness at disabling the onboard Nvidea card, but tech support for those cards insist that disabling/uninstalling it in device manager, and switching primary video adaptor settings in BIOS from onboard to pci-e should be sufficient. Googling the crcdisk.sys BSOD reveals this was a common problem when vista came out with "incompatible" hardware on a Vista upgrade from XP, and is either a hardware conflict, or conflict between drivers, but I could not find a common solution. My generalized hunch is that something with vista and the onboard card doesn't like the new graphics card. Does anyone have any thoughts on this, or a solution? |

Graphic card install hangs Vista after crcdisk.sys
Thanks, that's a thoughtful response, but one I've already attempted. In
fact, that is the prescribed method of installing the graphics card per the manufacturer. I still get the blank screen on startup. I first thought that my problem was being ineffective at disabling the onboard graphics beyond disabling the nvidia driver and switching the bios to prefer the pci-e slot--that is, some jumper on the motherboard, etc. But the manufacturer's tech support says those should be sufficient. Tech support stalled when we couldn't even get it to start up in safe mode, hanging after cdcdisk.sys; it should start up with the default video drivers with the nvidia drivers uninstalled, so that the new hardware can be detected, and new drivers installed. Perhaps it is those default video drivers which are conflicting with the new hardware, in which case perhaps I should upgrade my bios?

Graphic card install hangs Vista after crcdisk.sys
Sorry, the response wasn't particularly thoughtful.
The M2N68-LA board is, I see, an HP OEM version. I take it that HP support wasn't helpful. What did they suggest? Clean installing the OS with the new graphics card in place? (That might work, but it would take a lot of time.) Another random suggestion: did you try clearing the CMOS? It appears that the mainboard has a jumper for that. (I have found that helpful, when changing graphics cards under Vista.) I have had no trouble with the generic Vista X64 drivers for my graphics card, but I have an Intel (P35) chipset. Good luck.

Hi, Dain. I found this post from a couple of years ago. It exactly describes the situation I am having. I just spent yesterday reinstalling my OS and it still did not allow me to insert a new video card. (I tried two different cards with no luck.) Did you ever find out what the solution was? I have tried everything I can think of short of switching the jumpers around on the motherboard, including removing the battery to reset the CMOS. Any help would be greatly appreciated! -- frustrated in Maine.
