Look here for the best discussion and solution:

Nforce Sata Drivers

I had a lot of problems with the drivers from Windows Update and used a neat tool called Google to find a solution.

TK you techtype, maybe my googling was not so good as yours

I am getting the same thing now. I reinstalled Vista, went to Win Updates and it freezes. My mobo uses VIA Sata Drivers.

Just to tell you how the journey ends... From yesterday new "certified" drivers are available on nVidia webpage (http://www.nvidia.it/object/winvista_x64_162.22_it.html) for 590/570 chipset based mobo (Intel & AMD) and 64x based Vista OS.

Well, I tried them and they do work for me. That said, even if I cannot prove it, I have the suspect that Win Update downloaded a generic version (or is unable to recognize if you're using an Intel or AMD based mobo or worse installs the 32bit version on x64...)

Anyway, try them from nVidia and remember to choose wisefully what you download from Win Update
