(using my ps3 to post this)

My computer was working fine earlier today but I needed to update my video card drivers (9800 gx2) so I installed the newest ones from nvidias site. After it installed a lot of my programs crashed (logitech lcd, etc) and then the nvidia drivers crashed.

After that I went to restart and then the computer started up just a few seconds it shutdown. It keeps doing this even before windows tries to boot and I cant get into safe mode.

I-m running on a Asus p5q deluxe and it gets to the expressgate splash scrr een but I cant get into biosGas it shutsdown a few seconds even if I click bios setup.

Not sure whats happened. I just built this pc 6 months ago. W ould figure it'd at least let me into bios,
Other specs"
Corsair 750w psu
2gb corsair ram
windows xp.
 
Power down the system and clear the cmos with the jumber pins on the mobo. See what happens
 
put the hard drive into another machine and run chkdsk. It might be possible that a file needed to boot is corrupted.
 
gonna clear cmos and try that.

If it is a hd problem it shouldn't affect the expressgate ormy ability to get in bios.
