The bios runs fine, then a blinking cursor is displayed for about 3-8
minutes before vista finally decides to load up. Looks like I will
just be formatting and re-installing Vista, but anyone else run into
this and any possible solutions?

You can post to Microsoft.Public.Windwos.Vista General or Install_Setup for
help too. You may have a driver problem.

Thank you Arnold. Solved the problem, not an issue with Vista but a
simple BIOS update did the trick.
