Hello, ok so i put together a new system for my friend and here is the
problem. Once vista boots from the cd it goes to a windows is setting up
files,then goes to a black screen where there is a lilttle green bar
moving. Now right after that it goes to a blueish screen where there is
just the mouse cursor on the screen and just stays there? This is on all
new hardware. Also this is a sata hard drive, Thank you

Down the bottom is would have asked if you wanted to load any drivers; the
SATA drivers!

Do you have the latest BIOS? Sometimes these "Vista-compatible"
motherboards are not quite Vista compatible until after units start
shipping - you have to flash the BIOS to resolve issues. Mine was that
way. It was advertised Vista-compatible, but about 2/3 of the way
through the install it would simply reboot itself and start over. BIOS
flash fixed it.

Ok I am not sure where you mean at the bottom,only things I see are del
key to go to the bios, then a express button and a q flash one. There
was not one for load drivers

Ok so I thought I would try something. I hooked the new harddrive up to
my own computer and I was able to start the install,and at that point it
asked for drivers (not sure where I get those) and I just exited the
install. Looking over the mobo There was one pwr led wire that was not
hooked up to the mb because it does not have enough pins on the mb for
where the manual says it goes. Do you think just buing a new ide drive
would solve the problem or could it be the mb? Thanks for any help

Flashing the BIOS is not hard, but you have to be careful and make sure
the BIOS image you download from the manufacturer's website exactly
matches your motherboard. Most motherboard manufacturers have a Windows
version of the BIOS installer, so no need to boot to command-line
anymore. The flashing process takes about a minute. So, basically, you
need two things, which you get from the web site of the mother board's
manufacturer:
1. BIOS image
2. Installer utility
3. Instructions, which will be either on the web site or in a document
file that comes with the installer utility

It can be a little involved. Gigabyte has an online utility for
upgrading. Don't know how it works.
Be CAREFUL.

Ok will do, I looked on there website 'GIGABYTE - Support - Motherboard
- BIOS - GA-G31M-S2L'
(http://www.gigabyte.com.tw/Support/Motherboard/BIOS_Model.aspx?ProductID=2693)
and there are a few flash versions. Which one should I use the latest?
On another note I went out and bought a ide harddrive and it still does
the same thing
Starting to wonder if its the bord. Thank you for your help..
