Blue Screen of Death on install!

Hello All-
I have an AMD Athalon 3200+ (64 bit) computer, and I have tried to install both the 32 bit and 64 bit versions of Vista to no avail. Both versions (on correctly burnt DVDs) start the setup but result in a blue screen 0' death with "Error Macine Check". What could this possibly mean?
The 32 bit version does launch the install from within windows xp, and I chose to install on a new partition. It coppied all the files over that it needed and rebooted. I get the menu to boot my old OS or the continue with the vista (intall), but that, and all it's varying SAFE_MODE and debug mode options all end the same way -
BLUE SCREEN!
- If there are developers out there, I feel the error is that the machine is not passing some hardware system check (even though both XP and Fedora (4/5) love it).

Hi..All,
I tried installing Vista Beta 2 today (32bit)....on a IBM A52 with i gig RAM. Damn got a Blue screen at the end of installation... Haden't time to read anything.... it just restarted and undid everything. Tried twice.
I ran the Vista Upgrade Advisor and the report showed that may machine was compatible and that oly the TV card driver needs to be mannualy setup.
I'm tryinig to install it in dual mode with Windows XP SP2 as my primary OS. but was unsuccessful.
Has anyone come a cross a siruation like this... was there a solution if so please let me know.
Regards

Hi all, This is very critical issue that one of microsoft's software has,im not sure if anybody has encontered this same problem. "Windows Defender" is a big problem in Vista. I downloaded Vista and it worked fine the aero glass and everything, but after some time it started popping blue screens specially this error message in particulatr "0x0000007F: UNEXPECTED_KERNEL_MODE_TRAP" there is nothin u can do to fix this problem, there were a few more types of blue screen errors that might pop up; good trouble shooting techniques can be found on this website http://www.aumha.org/win5/kbestop.php anyways,i had to reinstall xp pro and i was installing every software one by one very slowly, then at last installed windows defender and when it was doing the system scan the blue screen popped up again. I think I made my point, If anybody knows how to delete or disable 'Windows Defender' in Vista tha would be great. ,AYNE THIS WILL HELP Thanks

try to disconnect or take out your XP hard disk. There seems to be a problem with the dual boot.

I'm getting the same error on trying to install Vista. Anyone find a fix yet?

OK, I've got the same problem. A BSOD with error 0x0000007F during installation. In my case it happens during the installation boot cycle, just after the installation background appears. During 10 seconds I can move my mouse but no user interface appears. After 10 to 20 seconds my PC reboots.

SATA Drives (2x)... Integrated GeForce Video Card... Support Micro-ATX mother board... Nothing too extravagent, and all equipment that should function even with the 'generic' drivers. It's odd... I still belive the problem to be due to some hardware 'check' that is being preformed, and not an actuall problem. The ble screen appears consistnatly and regularly, after the same amount of time.

Vista is missing some SATA drivers. I experianced the same issues as you have. Even though the install seems to go fine Vista does need the correct drivers. If your motherboard has the nvidia chipset then I can pretty much guarntee it. -- AMD-FX-60 2gb OCZ Plat. memory ATI 1800 AIW 2x74gb Raptors in RAID-0 2x400gb WD HDD in RAID-1 Epox Nvidia-4 Ultra M/B

a suggestion, if possible disable or uninstall windows defender, maybe this will help i had the same problem, but it was not during installation it was after installation blue screens started popping up every now and then, i had to revert back to xp and in xp when i installed defender another blue screen popped up when uninstalled it , so far i haven;t seen any blue screen. give it a shot if it is possible to do so.

How did you manage to install it eventually? I got an A8N-E MB with Nforce4 Ultra chipset ... and a BSOD aswell after about a half hour of installing and stuff.

I, too, am getting a BSOD during installation of the 64-bit Vista. I have an ABIT KN8SLI mobo with nvidia chip set and an Athlon FX-55 processor. I also have SATA drives.
Based on your post, I might as well give it up, no?
I had hoped it was due to the Windows XP x64 I had installed on that partiition.
