Actually I changed my video card rigth to be sure to install vista without no
problem, Infact before I removed a geforce4, and I installed ati 1300x which
report vista ready logo, and I tried a boot setup formatting disk. It's funny
that when I installed vista beta 2 on an old pc, I had no problem. Anyway
there are just 2 possibilities., one it can be and incompatibility with
asrock mb, or 2 maybe it's right the video card. I bet on mainboard.
Thanks. :)
