I've just been messing with that 'ZoneAlarm', a third party firewall which is free to download.. I think if you don't already have a firewall then it would be great but it was a little too intrusive for my liking, plus the icon in the task bar would never stop flashing (unless you turned the web off) which I found really annoying so I eventually got rid of it..

Thanks, Now if I could just get Vista to install W/O giving me the BSOD I'd be OK

Have you tried using a different HDD?

I have 2 one was for XP and the other was for Vista and I'm not spending another dime.......Today

The only thing I can think of is that for some reason your original PSU shorted out, now it's starting to become really obvious that something else is buggered too and I don't think it was your mobo.. You've replaced it right? And your still getting blue screens! Therefore something else in the mix is suspect too... As you know, the most likely candidate is going to be your memory... I bet you thats what it is...

Now if I can get the updates installed and SP1 I'll be good and maybe I can get some
