I'm not sure what I've done. I did a fresh install of XP to dual boot with my Vista. After installing FFXI and the nvidia GPU monitor I a noticed I wasn't getting any sound. I go looking around and there is a pci device windows isn't recognizing and I don't have any sound card showing up. I'm using the onboard sound (well trying to). I don't have any issues with it when I boot to vista. I tried uninstalling the nvidia mobo drivers this resulted in the system becoming unbootable. When I tried booting to safe mode I got to the login screen but it seems lacked the usb or ps2 drivers for my mouse and keyboard. I let windows XP try to repair it's self by installing XP over the top of it's self or something (I went in by booting from the XP CD planning to do a new install and it gave me that option). After that it was bootable again. I've tried reinstalling the drivers (latest from thier website of course did this from the begining) Tried searching the net, I'm not using the right keywords cause i'm not getting anyone having similar problems. Complete specs below, anyone have a clue as to what I should try? I'm at a complete loss.


XP SP2 Home - Latest updates.
E8400
XFX 780i (refrence 780i board)
8800 GTS 512 (G92) x2 in SLI
500GB WD
Gskill 4GB 8000 (yeah I know, only 3 gigs are showing up but the main boot is Vista64)
Running everything at stock voltages and FSB etc. I think I'm running the memory at 6400 not 8000.

Help? Thanks in advance. Thanks for taking the time to read even if you don't have an answer.
