Building a very nice AMD64 system with the following:
ECS 755-A2 (1.0) mobo
AMD64 3000+ CPU
2X80GB SATA drive in a RAID 0
1 GB PC3200 RAM
Nothing is overclocked
Win XP Pro
DirectX 9.0
Chaintech 128MB Geforce MX4000 AGP 8X
Problem:
Whenever I install the video drivers the system goes to the splash screen, stalls, then restarts. I ahve tried two of these boards and even gone backward to a TNT64 card. System runs fine until I load the dedicated NVidia driver. Works fine with the generic Win XP drivers but always craps out after loading NVidia drivers direct from their site.
I have tried every BIOS combination possible and nothing helps. I f I go into safe mode and kill the Nvidia driver it comes back on and requests the VGA driver. I have gone to ECS and downloaded the latest mobo AGP driver also.
I am losing my mind!!! This should not be happening! Help me!!!!!
