From: Mike Bernstein on 14 Feb 2007 16:45 Has anyone managed to install Vista on an Abit Fatal1ty AN9 32X motherboard based PC? If so, was it an upgrade from XP or a clean install? I have made several attempts to upgrade XP Pro to Vista Business without success. I have had many BODs and once past those, and on the final setup screen, Vista has told me on two occasions that it cannot configure a system component (without saying which) and rolls everything back to XP.

Might be worth a shot to run memtest. -Dylan C
From: Mike Bernstein on 15 Feb 2007 04:56 The XP install on this PC, just a few weeks ago, went perfectly. The memory is Corsair and before the Vista install I increased the chipset timings to SPD just in case. It is not really the BSODs that bother me, they do not happen at each attempt but this 'failure to configure a system component' is a real problem.

From: Mike Bernstein on 16 Feb 2007 09:27 A fresh/clean install rather than an upgrade did it. I now have Vista running perfectly.
