Windows won't load up

[Smartmike]

Hello I could use your help again. I formatted my hard drive and installed vista on my computer. Then I shut it down and called it a day. When I started it the next day it shuts down before it loads windows. Did I miss something?

If it's a clean install, ie all partitions removed and formatted

You may like to do it again
And also load all the drivers and chipsets after that (referring to your computers manufactures support web page.

I prefer clean install again

Then check hardware (addon cards internally, and connected devices externally) after that

But either way around is OK
