BSOD when booting from x64 DVD

I'll try to keep this as short as possible.

I had someone else build this PC. I have two seperate 500 gb hdd's. I
had him install XP on one and Vista 32 on the other. I want to install
Vista x64 so I can get all 4 gigs of my ram recognized.

I reformatted the Vista 32 drive.

Now when I boot from the x64 dvd, it shows "Windows is loading files",
then it goes to the screen with the "Microsoft Corporation (C)" and the
green load bar, then eventually comes up with a BSOD.

Any ideas?

Ok It generously decided to let me go further before I get a BSOD.

I almost finished installing, it restarted a few times and got to the
part where it said "Windows is now preparing to load for the first time"
or something to that effect, and I think that's when I got the blue
screen again, or the restart after that.

After a couple reboots I finally didnt get a BSOD but Windows kindly
informed me "The computer has unexpectedly shut down. Please restart
the application."

The error message for the first BSOD is as follows...it looks similar
to the other BSOD error but I cant be certain as that one restarted
itself fairly quickly...

Stop: 0x0000007E (0XFFFFFFFFC0000005, 0XFFFFF8000985E251,
0XFFFFF9800E0EB98, 0XFFFFF9800E0E570)

Try installing with just 2gb of ram and then install the other 2 after Vista
is installed.

You have some hardware that's incompatible somewhere;
http://aumha.org/a/stop.php#0x7e

Did you run the Vista Upgrade Advisor before the installation to see that
all your hardware was compatible (even though you are clean installing not
upgrading, it's still useful to work out what may cause issues.)

Reloaded Vists 32 bit back up. Thanks for your feedback guys, I'll look
into what you mentioned and try to reattack this at a later date, when
I'm a little more prepared and not so impulsive about it

Since it works with Vista86 and BSOD with Vista64, it has to be a 64-bit
problem. Since the Upgrade Advisor is only 32 bit, and 32 bit works, what's
the point?

First thing to try is to remove half your memory. Vista can have problems
with 4gig memory. There is a hotfix you can install later if it installs.

I don't have a solution to this problem yet but I'd just like to
contribute the fact that I came accross the same problem after upgrading
a machine's HDDs replacing 400GB Samsung drives with 500GB (also from
Samsung).
