SkaterAustin Posted August 1, 2005 Share Posted August 1, 2005 Well I got the beta downloaded (excited to use it for the first time) and im getting an bsod after the first reboot of the installation :(.... In the readme file it states that the x700 and x800 xl agp models will not work due to the product id matching the pci-express models. A) when I restart my pc and hit f8 and boot it into vga mode im still getting an bsod B) Other option to turn vga mode on i cant find :( any help is appreciated or ideas :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The system still works, you just can't see what you are doing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mrastudent Posted August 2, 2005 Share Posted August 2, 2005 Your hard drive is fine. Vista might not like the controller, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SkaterAustin Posted August 2, 2005 Author Share Posted August 2, 2005 UPDATE: After putting my new ati x800 xl in, I was running windows x64 well they say its not good to swap video cards and re-install so its been 3 months since i formatted so i figured why not try installing longhorn instead. Behold on my other hdd that had x64 on it, windows longhorn is installing. :D Thanks you for all your help who ever replied to my question :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
