Apparently you aren't the only one that's had this problem.

OK apparently this is being refered to as the vista KSOD (blacK Screen Of Death).

This appears to be the solution

If that doesn't work try browsing the results in this search

I presume that means the installation disk. I've never used Vista so I'm not certain.
