What is the make and model of the computer?

The symptom is an indication of a hardware incompatibility in general.

hope this is of help

Did the upgrade CD come with the computer?

Is it like a Dell or some brand or did you build it yourself?

There are no Vista drivers for that motherboard which raises compatibility questions.

There is a recent BIOS update: P5S800-VM latest beta BIOS 1023.003 2007/05/29 update

Also the Graphics card is an important variable.
