Sounds like the initial graphic drivers have a conflict.

I had some interesting issues with Win 7 and video at first.

I would say try another graphics card before you go through a whole new reinstall.

It does sound weird though. Look for graphics options at the bios level.

Most onboard graphics have the option of sharing system memory.. have you attempted to change the amount of memory it shares?

*EDIT* After re-reading that, if the issue was present in Vista too, then it's likely a hardware problem. Try an alternate GPU to test. :)

OK, I would suggest using vlite to slipstream SP1 or SP2 into an install disk. Apparently its the pre-SP1 Vista installation disk drivers that are causing the problem, and is acknowledged on the E380 driver download page.

So, best solution is to download vLite, download the SP1 or SP2 installer package. Then put that package into vLite when it prompts for a Service Pack slipstream. At the end of it you should have a nice new installer disk that should be able to install from.

That will work for Vista, but to get it to work for Windows 7, the only thing I can suggest is to install Vista first, and then upgrade to Windows 7 rather than do a fresh install.
