I've been trying to install Vista on this Dell desktop to no avail. It keeps shutting down instantly at different stages. I went into diagnostics and ran an express test and all came back good. Before I try some more troubleshooting tomorrow, was just wondering if anyone had encountered anything similar. Sometimes I get various bsod, but mostly just shuts down instantly. The computer came in with a bad power supply and cmos battery. Checked the motherboard and don't see any physical damage. Replaced the dead parts and now trying to do a clean install. The power supply was a new one off ebay, but you never know what kind of quality you might get. I've tried in install off of CD and USB. Unit only has 2gb installed.
What I'm trying tomorrow:
-Run Extended Test in BIOS
-Use another power supply
-look to see if there is updated version of this vista install?
