Vista Loading hangs up in 20% of cases

Even if you click F8 before loading and chose Safe Mode the display
shows:
+------------------------
|Loading Windows Files
|
|
|
|
|Please wait...
+------------------------
and hangs up

But this window should display:
Loaded: C:\Windows\System32\drivers\volmgrx.sys
Loaded: C:\Windows\system32\drivers\pciide.sys
Loaded: C:\Windows\system32\drivers\PCIIDEX.SYS
etc.
(HDD indicator blinks about 0.5 seconds and goes out)

What I mean to say is that it is obvious that Vista hangs up itself at
the very beginning of loading, but not because of drivers.

What can be the problem?

Looks like the problem is PCI IDE controler. That would be a disk controler.
Could be a problem with some other device which is hogging the PCI bus. You
can try fixing the problem by removing all the boards from your PCI slots
(remove graphics card too), then turn the PC off and on again (without
boards). Then turn the PC off again, insert one board, turn the PC on, and
so on until you find a faulty board. Sometimes the board could just be
'unseated' due to vibrations and reseating them fixes the problem.
