Install nForce Drivers --> XP Pro Won't Boot

[iknowkungfu]

I installed XP on my 250GB HD and it ran fine, no problems at all.


Then I began to install latest drivers wireless net, AGP Card , then it came to the motherboard. So I grabbed the latest ones for my nForce2 board.

Then I restarted, only for XP to hang during startup.
Numerous cold-restarts, still hanging.
So I tried each Safe Mode, Last Known Good Config etc, to no avail.

During safe mode it would display the driver files it was loading, the last two (from memory) were nv_agp.sys then mup.sys

I have read much about mup.sys, but it is related to novell servers, so I think it is instead the driver it loads afterward. (Unless that is the last one?)

So I then tried repairing/reinstalling XP numerous times, and each time it would run fine till mb drivers were installed. Same problem.


I am on SP2 and all other updates are installed.
I am using the latest BIOS.


I suspect it may be a conflict between the onboard nvidia graphics and the nvidia card.


Before I reformat or try to reinstall !again!,
has anyone got any ideas?



I thought i could try installing some of the mb driver elements before others:
GART -- graphics?
Memory Controller
SMBus
Ethernet
IDE
Audio
ATA (separately)
