Right into Standby



Hi,
I am so desparate - I'll try anything.
I just bought the A8v and everthing installs perfectly until I install
the video drivers. As soon as I install the drivers the system goes
into standby. As soon as it boots up, it goes into standby. I can't
do anything. I've installed xp about 10 times now, installing the
drivers in different orders, installing older drivers, installing them
before and after updating to sp2. I am stumped. I think it is
something simple because no one else seems to be having this problem.
Thanks in advance for your help.

P.S. I did install the latest bios and F6'd to install the RAID drivers
- even though I am not using them at this time.

System:
MB: A8v Delux
Cpu: Athlon 64 3500+ (I don't know which core or how to tell)
Vid: Nvidia Geforce FX 5800
Ram: 2GB (4x512) Corsair ddr400
Op: Win xp pro
Hdd: 1 36GB WD Sata raptor, 1 160GB WD Sata
