BSoD During Install of Vista 64 bit

I currently have XP Home edition installed, and am trying to do a clean
install Vista Business x64 edition. It boots from the DVD fine, and
goes through the first couple of loading screens, and then instead of
doing the language screen it enters a BSoD.

It displays "SYSTEM_SERVICE_EXCEPTION" and "STOP: 0x0000003B"


In the past I've also gotten \"STOP 0x0000000A IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL"
and "Stop: 0x0000007B", with "MEMORY MANAGEMENT" I think.

Vista Upgrade Advisor does not find any issues. I have:

run chkdsk
flashed my BIOS
disconnected all nonessential hardware (including one of my sticks of
RAM)
uninstalled McAfee (I hated it anyway)
Ren oem*.inf oem*.old


And still the problem persists.

My system specs:

Motherboard: Abit KN9 SLI
Processor: AMD Athlon 64 X2 4000
RAM: 2 GB, dual channel
Hard Drive: Seagate Barracuda SATA I 7200 RPM

I have had this issue before but my problem was bad sectors in my hard
drive, chkdsk didn't even find it, i had to run a seagate test and it
failed miseribly.

Couple other problems that could pop this BSOD is bad dvd. Is it a
burnt dvd or OEM and does it have any scratchs.

If it is a burnt dvd, did you burn it off an OEM DVD or another burnt
DVD, I've heard DVD's are only good when burnt at a slow speed and if
copied, copy it from orginal DVD.

Your processor is a 64 bit so that emilinates that issue.

If all else fails, install XP professional 64 bit edition then upgrade
to Vista 64 bit edition and see if that works.

Im sure there other issues invovled but im not aware of any other im
sure someone else is.

If you have two DDR2 memory dims are they a matched pair?
Are you doing the clean install on top of the XP installation or did you
reformat the disk and create a new primary partition?

that would help; this issue feels like a hardware problem.

Correct you do not want to reformat.
How much disk space is available to perform the upgrade?

"SYSTEM_SERVICE_EXCEPTION" and "STOP: 0x0000003B"

This error has been linked to excessive paged pool usage and may occur due to
user-mode graphics drivers crossing over and passing bad data to the kernel code.
The SYSTEM_SERVICE_EXCEPTION bug check has a value of 0x0000003B. This indicates
that an exception happened while executing a routine that transitions from
non-privileged code to privileged code.

Stop: 0x0000007B", with "MEMORY MANAGEMENT

80 GB, the whole hard drive. And I'm sorry; I post a lot on another
forums-based website and I'm used to a different style of discussion.

Hey hey theAM--

If you're burning a .iso , burning at slow speeds increases your chances of
getting an accurate DVD. Most burn programs have a "verify" checkbox, and
you can always google or bing check sums.

When people get BSODS on setup of a new operating system, that merits a
check of the usual hardware suspects. Having said that though, if you
haven't added new hardware recently, it is less likely hardware causes are
your culprit.

As mundane as it sounds, I'd highly recommend cleaning the DVD you're using
to load Win 7 carefully with strokes from the center to the periphery.

You won't be able to do an upgrade install from XP, but you can from Vista.
A clean install is preferred, but I've upgraded from Win 7 build to Win 7
since December without a hitch.

Let us know how you make out. We'd like to get you onto Win 7--if nothing
else it's faster and more CPU efficient and there is significiant
improvement under the hood.

Good luck,

CH

This post is wrapped in a green banner. Iran is getting more theocratic
than even the right wingnut US.

Down with Tyranny! Go to Qom and arrest the rights trampling Ayatollahs.
Theocratic states by whacky, chaotic theocrats are
disasters whether in Alaska or Iran! Whether Obama admits it or not, the
CIA has been secretly given hundreds of millions to destabilize the Iran
government after we put the despotic Shah in power and gave weapons to Iraq.
Of course no one remembers history as ancient as decades ago.

Curious--How would you do an install of Win 7 "on top of " XP. Do you mean
a clean install, because you can't upgrade XP directly to Win 7 whereas you
can upgrade Vista to Win 7 and Win 7 to Win 7, but I'm sure you know that.

Best,

CH

TheAM--

Where are you precisely at this point in time. What have you tried,and have
you done what I've listed below? Your specs aren't that relevant although
no harm in ever posting them, and for that matter scholarly
interpretations of the BSODs in language that is more stillted than any
I've seen in English that is listed on the various lookup BSOD websites and
books doesn't help 110% of people who post here. Particularly when people
BSOD on the setup of a new OS, the BSODs don't particularly relate to their
standard interpretations at MSDN's Library or elsewhere in my experience.

1) Have you cleaned your DVD meticulously?
2) Did you burn this DVD from MSFT or a torrent?
3) Have you checked your hdw, seating, cooling, cable plugins, and have you
added anything lately? Odds aren it isn't hardware.

A high percentage of people getting BSOD'd on setup simply need to clean or
possibly reburn the .iso at a slow speed and verify the burn. It helps a
lot of people.

Good luck,

CH

I mean a clean install into the partition containing XP.

Update: The last few attempts, I have not gotten a BSoD. Instead, my
computer just reboots after the second loading screen.

1. Yes. However, considering it was a brand new DVD+R and it hadn't
even left the CD tray after being burned (and verified!) when I tried to
install Vista the first time, that's probably not the issue.

2. Yes, burned from MSDNAA.

3. I have checked all my hardware and there was nothing that seemed to
be wrong. The other steps that I have tried are in the original post.

4. To be fair, I am a computer engineering major and the language of
the MSDN link posted earlier is not too far beyond me. But all it tells
me to do is run chkdsk (which I have) and update the firmware of my hard
drive (which I haven't, yet).

The info about parameters doesn't seem too helpful and I don't know
what they are anyways, since as I've said it just reboots instead of
giving a BSoD.
