  • Cannot setup Vista x64 in GA-MA78GM-DS2H (freeze/reboot after

    Hello!
    I've recently bought a Gigabyte's GA-MA78GM-DS2H motherboard (graphic onboard) with a AMD Phenom X4 9550 and 2 x 2 Gb Ocz's DDR2 PC6400 (Titanium Edition), and I cannot install Windows Vista 64 at all... since it freezes/reboots right at the beginning of setup, in the "Windows is loading files...." section after the gray bar get to the end...


    At the moment, after I had read some posts in this and other forums, I've been trying to setup vista 64 with the following config:

    - removed all additional boards (like the sound card or tv board);

    - setup with only one dimm installed (2 Gb), one hd (SATA) and one dvd drive (IDE) installed;

    - manually adjusted the memory voltage in the BIOS to 2,1v and to 4-4-4-15 timings (the default ones for this RAM, since the board detected higher timings, in auto mode);

    - turned off Amd's Quiet and Cool feature in BIOS, as well as other unnecessary things for the setup (such as additional USB's ports, Fan Control, etc);

    - set the SATA controller to operate in Native IDE mode in BIOS;

    - set the Floppy Disk setting to none in BIOS (since i don't have any).


    And after all this adjustments I still cannot setup Windows Vista 64,.. however i setup Windows Vista 32 without any problem.. or special adjustment to do...


    I'm going completely crazy with Vista x64... does anyone know what else should I do??

    Thanks in advance,

    What happens when you run memtest? Memtest86+ - Advanced Memory Diagnostic Tool

    Also set:

    Performance Enhance = Standard
    tRFC = 56

      Hi...

      Well.. I haven't run it yet since I tested the system with others memory and the result was the same, so I considered that the memory wouldn't be the problem...but... I'll run it tomorrow morning just to be completely sure...

      When you say to set Performance Enhance and TRFC, where do you want me to set it? (BIOS or memtest... i think that you're referring to memtest, but since i've never used it ).

      Thanks for the help,
