Vista is crashing my computer

[EmilyJames]

I am having a horrible time installing vista on my computer. It just keeps crashing. i have all the requirements Vista prescribes. Any thoughts?

[HoustonIT]

What kind of hardware are you trying to install Vista on? Are you upgrading or doing a clean install?

[EmilyJames]

It is an Dell XPS 600. I believe it has nvidia based motherboard. From what I have been reading it is incompatible with vista.

[HoustonIT]

Yeah, it looks like Vista on an XPS 600 is going to be problematic.

Do you get any error messages?

this is True, i am running a 3gb RAM vista box, bost of the time at least 40-50% of my RAM is in use just to allow vista to run. So anything less than 2gb will deffinatly cause problems for you.
