I have a really odd issue, if I restart my PC I get past post and when
the loading Vista scroll should start I get a black screen, if I restart
I get a failure to start and if I choose start normally every thing
works fine

I tried a Vista repair to no avail, and its annoying and silly that the
only way I can boot is to fail to boot first.

I am running Vista Ultimate x64/8 GB Ram/8800 GTS/500 GB HD, not sure
if anyone can point me in the right direction, but thought I would try.

Try System Restore. Choose the last restore point that worked before
your problem started. Good Luck.

This is a fresh install, I added memory and a Creative sound card so
rebuilt the machine last Friday. To my knowledge it has done this since
I rebuilt it. /sigh

And yes I did reformat the hard drive when I did the install so it was
a clean install.

Check to make sure your memory is tight, then run the memory checker. I
would also uninstall the Creative driver and try it. You could be either
having a driver problem at that point or something electrical that works
after it has been warmed up a little thru the restart.
