I just built my new computer (see specs below) Win XP installs fine and I can start installing drivers. about 1-2 reboots after installing nforce drivers, next reboot, windows won't load and just stays at the blue bar screen and locks after 1 minute. I can load safe mode so I think its drivers, i'm using the drivers off the CD that came with the motherboard. Not sure of version. I can't download new drivers because of safe mode. Any one else have issues with this config or with the nforce drivers ?

Thanks.
 
Forgot to add :
The DVD drive is secondary IDE and is master
The Hard Drive (Maxtor 200GB SATA) is on 1st SATA.

I installed both IDE and Ethernet drivers with no issues. But once I install the SM BUS drivers, windows locks up on startup.

Any ideas out there ?
 
I just got them this afternoon, tried them as well. The ethernet and ide drivers work fine, but installing the sm bus drivers lock up windows on boot. I'm going to try a BIOS update and see if that helps at all.
 
Ok. I'm running out of ideas here. I tried nforce drivers 6.65 and 6.70, no change. I've updated to latest BIOS from 1006 to 1010 and still no change. Since the update to 1010, its even worse, I can't get back into windows at all now.
I left the board set to defaults and nothing seems to work.
Is this a bad board or am I missing something ? :confused:
