RE: Driver State Power Failure While installing Vista x64 Ultimate

It could be a problem with your dvd drive. Do you have a spare one to swap it
with to see if it loads up your OS??

Hi all,

I have a big problem. I built a new computer a few months back, and
everything was running fine and dandy. Until I got a pretty bad virus.
My software (Avast pro) removed it, and said everything was fine...
however my computer was randomly hanging, and responding very slowly. So
I figured that the virus was still in my system somewhere. So I
formated, and reinstalled Vista.

Once I reinstalled Vista, everything seems MUCH better - like it was
before. I was quite happy. Until I tried to play a MP3. Windows media
player wasn't playing hardly any types of media... even types I know it
supports, and should play. after doing research, i found out that you
can't uninstall Media player on Vista, and the best thing to do is
re-install windows. Fine.

So here is the issue. I am installing windows, everything seems normal.
It is nearing the end of the the install process, and all of a sudden -
WAM! BSOD, and says its a Driver status power failure.

After reading up on it, it seems like it is a driver issue for Hdds, or
cameras, and the like. But I didnt install anything new, everything was
working perfectly, so what could possibly be causing this issue?

Specs:
Intel Quad Q6600 2.4ghz
Nvidia 750i Motherboard
6gigs OCZ SLI Ram
Evga GeForce 8800 GTS 512
Ultra X-Pro 600 Watt PS
WD Raptor Hdd
Seagate Hdd

only other thing I can think to mention, is that I was overclocking my
unit for the past month or so, but nothing too intense. I took it to
about 2.9ghz for the CPU, well within the range for my CPU, and temps
NEVER got over 120F - confirmed by both speedfan, and everest. Ram
clocks not really touched, factory timing are 4-4-5, and I changed to
4-4-4. CPU voltage was not raised. Ram voltage not raised. Video card
waas OC'd significantly, but still well within the temp ranges.

Any ideas? Anyone? PLEASE HELP :(

-Chris
