    Ok,in the series of stupid things happening after installing SP1 RC for Vista 64, my sager will not boot up! it shows the 'starting windows vista' logo and all, and then complete black screen ,nothing...left it on for 10 mins and it WILL NOT START...
    What can I do ? I tried going into safe mode, but nothing, still boots up to the point where I should choose the user and password,but instead ,gives me a blank black screen :(
    HEEEEELP !

    I`m not going to edit, as I`ve heard some other people had this issue and I want to keep the thread up and running.
    What i`ve did was insert the Vista 64 bit dvd, and then cancel the instalation progress when it was about to start,removed all USB peripherals ,took out the vista dvd,shut down and started again,vista asked how to start windows and I selected last known good config that worked ,boot it up, took about a minute to load the user screen with the password and now it works...I`m afraid to restart it,maybe it will do the same thing again...but i`ll try it later :confused:
