Vista Home Premium 64 installation error

I have had a stoke of luck with the whole failing to boot issue.
Following on from what Rick had said about the problem being potentially
with the graphics card, I went to update the graphics card driver,
(previously listed as the most up to date version) and a new one was
available on Nvidia's website. (The graphics card i have is an ASUS
EN8800GT) I have installed the new driver and i am not getting the
restarts during the boot up like before. The date for the driver on the
website is 20/12/2007, so if you are running one from before this, it is
definatly worth downloading.

If your still having problems with vista booting, i recommend getting
the new driver update from the website.
'Drivers - Download NVIDIA Drivers'
(http://www.nvidia.com/Download/index.aspx?lang=en-us)

Upon updating the driver, i found that the original driver that came
with the card was infact for a 32-bit system, so if you are running x64,
you should find that this helps.

Do not use the device manager to look for an updated driver, the one
that it found caused my computer to continually fail the boot, (8 failed
starts in succession) and I had to restore back to my last known good
configuration to allow me to boot it back up.

I hope that this maybe of some help to people in sorting out what is a
really annoying problem.

okay how am i suposed to install new video drivers when i cannot load
windows. i cant even install it. durring the last step where it says
completing installation i get this blue screen thats up for like half a
second and then it restarts. I actually went out and bought a new hard drive
because oh this crap i needed a bigger one anyway but it didnt change a danm
thing and the only other os i have is 32 bit how the hell am i suposed to
install a 64 bit driver on a 32 bit os. I think i am completly
f^&^%$^#$^#$^#$^#$^ I might just sell this computer for parts and buy a mac.
i hate you bill gates i want you to die. i can't even find anything on the
internet saying how i could install this 64 bit driver without having an os
to install it so wtf. wtf.wtf. am i suposed to do.

i think i may have found a way around. you both have the same problem as me
and you fixed it with a 64 bit video driver the problem i had with that
though was how do i install a driver on a computer with no os. so i thought
and toked up then i came up with a plan to install vista 32 bit with my
upgrade disc then download the newest 64 bit driver from nvidia then i would
put the 64 bit disc in, restart, then go through with the 64 bit install. go
to load drivers find the driver i wanted from the 32 bit partition load it
then install vista 64 if all goes to plan i'll have vista 64 bit back and
just to make it easier for anyone else looking for a fourm like this .

SO I FIGURED IT OUT!!!! there is a limitation on some setups... before the
installation you have to have 2gb installed absolutly no more than 2gb 1 is
okay 2 ideal so thats what you bypass that error. good luck it worked for me.
