I have a strange case that I cannot install windows 7 or windows vista on my 3 year old PC.

The machine is an MSI K9NGM, with an AMD AM2 processor.

I have bought a new Samsung SATA drive to install Windows 7 on, so as to preserve my existing XP install which I intend to dual boot in the future.

However about half way through either a vista or w7 install (just after the mouse is shown for the first time, after the first restart) the machine will crash with a blue screen.

I have removed, reordered the memory in the machine, with no luck.

Does anyone have any experience of why this would happen with BOTH vista and w7 when everything is fine with XP?
