I cannot install any PCI card on a fresh install of windows XP SP2:
-Gigabyte K8N51GMF-9/Foxconn nForce 430 board
-BFG Geforce 8800GTS
-Fresh Windows Install
-Soundblaster X-Fi PCI
-Hauppauge WinTV PVR 350
So here is the problem:
-I install windows. Everything -> OK
-I install the mainboard drivers -> OK
-All Windows Updates -> OK
-After Reboot, wanted to install Graphic card drivers -> Screen goes black with a blinking cursor in the top left corner, nothing happens
-Reset PC -> Boots fine -> Graphic card drivers not installed
-Turn off PC
-Take out PCI cards
-Boot Windows, install Graphic card drivers -> works!
-Reboot, NVIDIA drivers are there all is fine
-Put X-Fi back into system
-Boot -> during the "Windows XP Professional": loading bar freezes, hard drive access stops. Nothing but resetting helps
-Put X-Fi into other PCI slot (mATX board so there is only 2): same deal
-Put Hauppauge WinTV in any slot -> same deal
-Pull PCI cards -> PC works fine
So as long as the graphic card drivers are not installed, everything works fine. As soon as I try to install them everything goes wrong. The card works flawlessly by itself. Benchmarking and such is not a problem. It is not the mainboard as I have tried both a Gigabyte and Foxconn, both with the newest BIOS...
The PSU is a Vortec 550W with plenty of power...
anyone got any idea?
cheers
