My System:
- 24" Sony 234 monitor
- Nforce 4 SLI motherboard running RAID 0 with 2 300gb HDs on Nvidia raid
controller
- Nvidia 7900GT video card
- 2 gigs of memory
- AMD X2 4400+ processor
Starting at the bios screen I see artifacting all over the screen and
letters on menus replaced with odd characters of different colors. Setup
appears to complete but on the boot up into Windows, the screen stays black
and the system reboots after a minute or two.
If I try to enter safe mode to update a driver or run a diagnostic, it tells
me "setup has not completed, complete setup and try again". It's just a loop
and I can't get into Windows.
Beta 2 was more stable than this but for some reason I can't get Beta 2 or
RC1 to install now. I've read of putting one of the hard drives into another
computer to unlock the Vista setup files and upgrade the Nvidia driver files
but I don't see how that's an option on a raid setup. I can't dual boot XP
without installing a floppy drive to try to squeeze the Nvidia raid drivers
on so XP can even see the Hard drives / work with them.
I don't understand how something that doesn't install can be called RTM? At
this point, even if Nvidia released an updated driver, Vista uses it's own
built in Nforce drivers during install. How would I substitute them?
