I feel kinda guilty asking this here since I did inquire about it on another forum but they seem to be unable or unwilling to reply...which is ok since I only asked it yesterday. But I figure it might be wise to belong to numerous forums anyways.
It wouldn't be such a rush but I have limited time (like we all do I suppose) and need to get this fixed this weeked...or do a complete format. Anyways, thanks for any help you guys can provide.
I just dropped $200 (well that included overnight shipping) on my new HT Omega Claro Plus sound card and put her into my system a bit ago and here's what happened.
For one it did something to my Bios making it highly recommended that I reset a bunch of my settings (oh well no big deal, I can put my overclocks back later I figured), but then I got hit with a BSOD while trying to get into Vista...you know, one of those "windows has shut down to prevent damage to your computer, please remove any new hardware and disable memory cache, yada yada yada.
Strange but whatever, figured maybe there was some freak driver conflict or something. So I remove my soundcard and boot back up...well the BSOD was still there. Beautiful. Well maybe I screwed some vista files up? No big deal I'll just pop in my disc and repair. Well...the minute I select any windows option from the disc I get the **** BSOD again.
No matter what I do I can't get into vista? Strange thing is I can boot into my XP Pro just fine and dandy. I even put the sound card back in and went into XP and it sounds great. But anyways...umm...any thoughts?
I played with the option in my Bios that says "enable if you installed new hardware and OS refuses to boot" with no luck...I don't believe it's the memory because the 6 gigs I have in there now is brand new (installed 3 days ago) and I ran memtest for 13 hours with no errors. I guess I'm a little confused as to how and even approach this one? Did the card just kill my Vista install?
I can't even boot off of the disc to do a fresh install or anything? Is my only choice a complete format of my drive? I don't mind doing that but I prefer a different solution really since both of my OS's are on my internal drive and it would be a pain to have to re-install everything. Hoping maybe somebody can give a hand.
