Hello. I have installed and reinstalled vista numerous times this
weekend in order to get my system to start. Few days ago I get the BSOD
and the infinite start up loop begins. I reformatted and installed so
many times, swapping ram, removing various hardware untill i swap out
Graphics cards. I get a clean install and boot! I thought at last, I
have this finally fixed. I update my drivers then begin windows update.
57/59 installed correctly, windows tells me reboot to install the other
2 updates. Ok, the restart occurs and F'ing A I get another Bluescreen.
Now I have a corrupt C:\windows\system32\config\SAM file. I google, try
to copy the sam file back up to the config folder, no work. Now I did a
clean install AGAIN and get a damn bluescreen. I'm pretty fricken fed up
with these reinstalls, Im tired of it. MY hardware is good, ram, hd all
that. I got the crap to work and then update screws me? any damn tips?

You very clearly have defective hardware, most likely the RAM, based on
what little useful information was included in your rant.

Why not have a try with the RC of Windows 7. I find it infinitely better than
Vista !You still have a little while to download it.
