It's not vista. it's the OC's stability. Well sounds like it anyways.
I OCed on both vista 32 and 64.
Edit: you could also try OCing to what you want on XP, then once you're *100% sure its stable, format and install fresh vista. see how it goes.
*Theres no such thing as 100% sure but you get the idea.

I've been successful OC'ing with Xp 32 bit but I don't know why there should be a difference in results. Anyone have any clue what's up? |

This thread is a few days old but I thought I'd bring it back to life.

Fireforge_32, what kind of overclock did you have with Windows XP 32-bit? After the installation of Vista 64-bit did you change your power management settings to "High Performance"? Obvious question here but did you make sure all the appropriate drivers were installed for the 64-bit OS?
Good luck

I'm really thinking it's my mobo and some crappy **** they have on the board. |

Good suggestions guys.
Fireforge_32, I guess another good question would be....were you even able to run Vista 64-bit at stock settings? I apologize for the dumb questions but I have to ask them

A status update tho: Vista has officially stopped loading for me. I went completely barebones in terms of my setup and swapped ram from my 4 gigs to a 1 gig pair that i had lying around(ddr2-800). I tried 3 different harddrives but after i initially got vista installed it never loaded. My bios settings don't have very many power management options or, in fact, anything of much use. I used default bios settings after the initial complete failure to load vista and finally, in anger towards Microsoft, made my machine a hackintosh. I'm still interested in figuring out this problem tho cause i want to overclock in vista x64. I did call tech support for the mobo once but they just told me i'd have better luck buying a different, more expensive mobo of theirs. hope someone is still there that might be of help

Fireforge_32, see my above posts (#8 and #11). Were you running everything at stock settings (no overclock)? Have you performed a diagnostic on your memory to make sure it's running correctly? I recommend running Memtest86+. Download the .iso and burn it to a CD. Boot directly to the CD. I recommend running tests 5 and 8 each for at least 20-25 minutes.
Let us know
Good luck

Fireforge_32, have you considered the issue being more related to driver support then hardware? I'm assuming with Vista 64-bit you are required to install 64-bit version drivers.
Good luck

None of the things I tried worked. The OC i was(and am) running is 2.96GHz. As for the power management settings I did change the power management settings to high performance and had all the appropriate drivers installed. |
