Vista Compatibility Issue

[Guest]

I am trying to install Vista Business on a computer running Pentium4, Intel
Motherboard D845GBV_ with 1 GB memory, 2.0GB speed, Vissiontek X1550 video
card.

After entering the product key on the installation and accepting the
licensing screen, i select upgrade and it then says "checking Compatibility"
i get the blue screen saying:

'DRIVER_IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL'

***STOP: 0X000000D1 (0X05D0050, 0X000000FF, 0X00000001, 0X8727CABE)

I have uninstalled the virus program and disabled all the start programs in
MSCONFIG.

My computer passes the Vista Advisor compatibility tests with no problems.

Any ideas??

Note: I tried calling Microsoft and they said the product key is valid but
it is OEM so they won't provide telephone support and I should use the email
or chat options on their support page. When I try that, I recieve message
saying the product code is no good.

Hi,

I don't see that motherboard on the hardware compatibility list:

Nor do I see any Vista drivers for it from Intel:

Offhand, I'd say that the board is not a good candidate for a Vista upgrade.
