Comment on Shrinking and Extending Volumes in Windows 2008 Server

Your problem with that windows 2008 has three firewalls: domain, public, and private.

Go to server manager, expand out configuration, and then right mouse click on Windows Firewall with Advanced Security. Disable the firewall on each tab.

Hopes this helps~

I have a phenom 9600 be and tried to run win vista 64 it bsod the first time i started it within 5 mins. Continuous bsods all day i ordered a new power supply, not the problem. It sure is win vista ultimate 64 or 790 fx chipset doing it I proved that all day . I am now running on vista ultimate 32 and it works great. I can overclock run then processor maxed do whatever no bsods. Please write if anyone finds a fix to this problem im wasting my 8 gbs of RAM! no xp 64 for me dont like directx 9.

I had the same problems you guys are explaining. There is one catch though. When you install The new Vista x64 you have to actually enable the other 3 cores after the first loading of windows. If you do not enable this it will try to load the OS with 1 core instead of the needed 4 cores causing the crashes. Microsoft forgot to include this in their instructions...I had found it to be a real pain until all 4 cores of the processor were enabled in windows.

I've got exactly the same problem. I have MSI K9A2 Platinum 790FX Mainboard and I'm experiencing BSOD on startup and randomly later any time I try to OC my Phenom even by 50 MHz. On XP it runs fine @2,7GHz. My OS is Vista 64 Ultimate.
