Hey guys, ive recently built a new system and im having trouble installing windows as i get a BSOD when it trys to load windows from the cd, it boots from the disk then says loadin a number of files, but when it trys to "load windows" i get the following error, my friend said it could be the mobo or ram thats busted and causing it to bsod but i think it could be something else

this is was it says on the BSOD:

ive downloaded the latest bios and this hasnt changed anything,

hardware spec:

GA-ep45-ds3p
ocz 4gd 1066 ddr2 ram
intel q9550 quad core
500gb seagate sata hd
ATI 4870 1gb HD

any info on fixing this would be great!

found a solution to the problem, apparently its because i have a PCI-x card and windows SP1 doesnt support it, luckily i had a SP2 disk to use

if that does not work and you are install ing Vista try removing half your ram.
I have seen threads in here that say Vista 32 bit does not like to install with 4 gigs. of ram
