why windows vista freeze in the boot splsah screen?

Question

and this happens even with the install cd.

My laptop is a DELL M65 and the diagnostics say everything is correct. Memory, disk, irqs, etc.

The diagnostics CD loads fine and I can run the tests, but every windows install cd hangs the machine. a Minimal linux distro loads fine too.

I had tryed safe mode, currently the hard disk is brand new but the install cd freeze in the same place.

Answer 1

So there is no OS installed on the system?

Is there a recovery partition on the hard drive? Have you tried reinstalling the system from it?

Answer 2

The problem was a defective CPU.
