The STOP 0x8e error is typically a hardware compatibility issue. If you are certain that your hardware is fully compatible with Vista, then it may be a driver issue or you may need a BIOS upgrade. Which driver it is depends on what's causing the error. Try searching your hard drive for files ending in .dmp (usually in the C:\Windows\Minidump sub-directory). If you find them, use this link ( http://forums.majorgeeks.com/showthread.php?t=35246 ) to analyze it and post the results here.

hm sounds like your in a bit of a pickle..
to flash your bios - now this is a *very* general guide.... but *generally* ( boot off of the floppy, and type ecs_flash bios_update.00 now i havent done any research on your specific board, so those steps could be completely wrong, but yeah thats a rough guide...goodluck -------------------- =)

it will be interesting, can you use a non-identifed cpu to flash with, mine would never even boot until I flashed with an old cpu that was recognized
the safest way would be to use the boot floppy hopefully you have a good floppy drive and cable handy I always write down the name of the flasher and bios.bin file for reference at the command prompt In the olde days we used to clear cmos drain down power from the mobo etc then flash then immediately after reboot go into bios and set defaults and pray a lot -------------------- Chewy

people who flash bios's
if your pc works "half the time" then i would be looking elsewhere for your answers (bios flash may fix things, but i would have thought that it wouldnt have worked period if the cpu wasnt supported...) i guess you could have a faulty cpu, but the cahnces of that are......slim what hardware have you tested???? goodluck -------------------- =)
