Vista installation problem!!!

[Izzet]

I'm trying to install a 64-bit Vista *Edit: Ultimate* on to my computer but it keeps stalling (Usually at the 'expanding files' stage) the one time I managed to get all the way through the installation, when I tried to install the drivers for my Graphics card and Sound card the install programs crashed as well (Not the system). It takes a while for it to get to the Language choice page and then longer to get to the key input page.

I managed to install XP perfectly fine right after I'd finished building it, and as I say, it worked perfectly fine, the install, driver installs etc.

I'm wondering if it could be a PSU problem? I'm using a 600W PSU.

Or is it because I've got my Graphics card and Sound card attached to it already? If so, does anyone know where I can get a VGA Male to VGA female cable or a VGA female to VGA female adaptor (This is the reason I've had to install my Graphics card)

This is my PC (and what I have attached to the PSU):
AMD X2 Dual Core 6000 2GB DDR2 RAM NVIDIA 590 Graphics Motherboard
Samsung Lightscribe S203PL - SATA -20x DVD+/-R/RW - DVD-RAM - SATA
Samsung Spin Point F1 SATAII NCQ 750GB 32Mb Cache Hard Drive <9.0ms 7200rpm
Novatech GeForce 9600GT SLI 512MB GDDR3 DVI/TVO PCI-E Graphics Card
Creative Sound Blaster X-Fi Xtreme Audio PCI Express

So what seems to be the problem, it just takes a long time?

There is nothing wrong with your PSU, it is plenty powerful enough.

Make sure BIOS on mainboard is up to date. In case of already known and fixed issue.

Also AMD 6000 CPU produce quite a lot of heat. What cooler are you using on your CPU just in case issue is over heat

Sorry for the (slight) delay in the reply =)

Managed to get it sorted, removed a stick of RAM and it seemed to install perfectly fine =S

It wasn't a case of it was taking it's time installing, it was a case of it getting to a certain point and then completely freezing.
