PCIIDEX.SYS BSOD

[Guest Clayton]

Awhile back when clean installing Vista 64 I was getting a pciidex.sys BSOD

towards the end of the install.

I have done a few clean installs and sometimes it does it and sometimes it

doesn't, I think it started doing this when I started installing Vista 64

with SP-1.

I thought it maybe the IDE DVDRW drive I was using to install but it is also

happening using a SATA DVDRW drive, now that I have a new computer it has no

IDE connections on the X38 motherboard so I have ruled out the drives as

being the cause of the problem, the pciidex.sys is the PCI IDE Bus Driver

Extension described my Microsoft, someone at one stage pointed me to a patch

but it is pointless when this happens on completion of a clean install.

Just wondering what is actually causing this problem.

 

Thanks

I would suggest that you remove all devices from the system that the machine

doesn't need for booting safely. Keep the keeboard and mouse and one optical

drive and one HD to install to - basically remove evrything else. You could

even minimize your RAM to one stick.

 

If you manage to complete the installation, start putting things back

one-by-one. Make sure you have the latest BIOS and check for new versions of

all the chipset support stuff that came on your System CD.

 

And, please, report back!

Hi Tony,

 

I removed a PCI-E X1 USB card and reinstalled Vista, did it again, removed

the second SATA HDD and internal card reader which is plugged into a flex

bay connector on the motherboard, these connectors come with the Dell

Precision 390 and T3400 workstations and reinstalled Vista and was ok, so I

plugged the second SATA HDD again leaving the internal card reader unplugged

and reinstalled Vista and was all ok, so I guess it maybe the card reader

that is causing the problem?

Those card readers are notoriously problematic. They appear to get in the

way of proper HD enumeration. I finally gave up and ripped the one out of my

main XP x64 machine a long time ago, just because it was such a pain.

Re: PCIIDEX.SYS BSOD

 

Seems ok installing Vista 64 Bit with SP-1, it all started when installing

Vista 64 Bit with SP-1 intergrated, maybe a issue with some changes made in

SP-1
