Vista Home Premium on E521 Blue Screen
I keep getting a blue screen of death.
No driver or device is mentioned. It just says:
Stop: 0x0000007E
And then some 0xFFFFFFC0000005, etc... bunch more hex(?) numbers...
Looking into it online it seems that video cards usually cause this error...
So I swapped mine out and walla, it boots...
SO I finish installation and then after a few boots for various things I get the BSOD again... But after a few tries it eventually boots into Vista again... But after rebooting it is off and on.. touch and go...
So I went back to XP and my old card (with dual monitors)...
Vista is going to have to do a lot of fixing before I try that again.
I remember this same thing with Windows XP...

With the problems I am having, how is Vista supposed to run on an E521 without releasing a second DVD with upgraded drivers and software?
Think Windows98 Second Edition... Windows 98 Original ed and had lots of these same issues... SE worked flawlessly on everyone I ever referred to it...
So... How long until Vista SE comes out?

Disk Space - I have over 100 gigs for it to use...
BIOS - I am using the BIOS revision Dell seems to have put out for Vista. 1.1.4
Incompatible Display Drivers - How can I change them if I cannot access the OS?
Damaged RAM - Not likely... though I have had many errors in XP on this system. Always something about a program could not read something in memory.
Damages Devide Driver - Once again, how can this be?
Win32.sys - Not the problem....
So I ran a memory tester on my RAM... It passed.
I did get in 2 times with a different video card so it seems like it has something to do with video... and it stopped working with that card when I changed the resolution... So I am thinking it is a video problem.
