Hi guys im tryin to install Vista home premium (oem) on my HP Pavilion Media Center a1388d Desktop PC. My system passes the vista upgrade advisor and meets all requirements.

When i boot with the vista cd i get the 'windows is loading files' progress bar, once that is done i get a blue screen with the following error 'STOP: 0X0000005C ...'

Im always met with that blue screen and i cant install vista. Thanks guys for your help.

A simple google search query deliveres the following suggestions:
- adjust power savings settings in BIOS
- update BIOS to most recent

Instead of booting from cd, you might want to try the upgrade feature from within your current Windows XP.

nb: it helps to put down the entire error message, since this contains root cause info for the tech people.
