I'd say that if you reinstall Windows on that drive and it keeps occuring, you either have something you keep installing that is corrupting the system hive, or a bad disk. If you really only reinstalled Vista and the problem happened, I'd return the drive as defective. If you're doing the same installs over again after installing Vista, I'd at least be suspicious of some software package. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you're still having trouble with Vista after SP1+updates, you should probably start looking elsewhere for the root of your problems than Vista.

Radfaldo Posted October 8, 2008 Share Posted October 8, 2008 (edited) Didn't work. I've updated drivers, no dice, still crashes. I decided to install updates one by one and found out that KB943899 is the culprit. It's supposed to be a reliability update! What a load of crock, it fubars my Vista installation instead of making it more 'reliable'. Jeez! Edit: I've done some research, apparently MS replaces Intel SATA AHCI driver with that update, and it crashes on reboot on notebook drives (dell in particular). WTF was MS thinking when designing such an update?Excellent bit of advice, many thanks. I'd just built a Dell Vostro 1500 after a disk fail, with Vista Business, installed all the drivers, patched with all the Microsoft latest patches (65 to date) and blue screened on reboot. Tried ERD etc, but doesn't see any disk partitions or anything, so rebuilt again, this time used the drivers rfom Dell website instead of Resource CD, patched and it crashed again. This time I made a few adjustments in BIOS and changed to ATA instead of AHCI, and rebuilt again, this time installed approx 40 patches thinking the latest patches were the ones that caused the crash, but I was wrong, on reboot it BSOD'd again. This time it didn't automatically reboot as I'd disabled the Automatic reboot on error, so I could see the error message, it looked like Memory address errors, so I ripped one stick of memory out, installed another and it booted fine. Rebooted to test and it crashed again. I realised that it was reboot it didn't like, Shutdown, then powering on worked fine.When I read the above post about removing KB943899 I thought I'd give it a go, and it works like a dream. I can restart, shutdown, hibernate the lot!Muchos Gracias Amigo.The system now has all Microsoft atches and I've hidden KB943899 Edited October 8, 2008 by Radfaldo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cluberti Posted October 8, 2008 Share Posted October 8, 2008 This hotfix is included in Vista SP1. If you're seeing this as an available update (first available in October of 2007), you are definitely not running SP1. Vista RTM (even with the "reliability patches" applied) is still FAR from stable compared to SP1. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Update to the very latest versions (posted after January 2008) and this should resolve the issues. You'll need these to run SP1 anyway, which you should be doing unless you have some specific reason you can't run SP1. Running Vista RTM at this point is just crazy without a good reason (like, some app doesn't run with SP1 installed, for instance). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
