X700 Crash's Immediately

Idea's?

I am now on a real computer, given up trying to access this forum on an MP3 player, but I am still plagued with PC problems.

My 7900GS decided to catch fire and my 6600GT was KiA at some point, so I borrowed a friends X700. I can POST, nose around the BIOS and do things in safe mode, but the second I hit XP desktop it crashes, well, about 10 seconds later it crashes once it detected the graphics card.

My initial idea was overheating as my friend said this thing overheated alot when gaming, so I pointed lots of fans at it but still same problem. It is now happily in safe mode but I am out of ideas on how to fix it

For the record the system it is in is as follows:

AMD X2 5000+

ASUS M2N SLi Delixe

2Gb G Skill HK

Corsair 450w PSU

Antec 900 with plenty of fans.

The system worked for months as a file server but the 7900 died so I tried this X700 out of desperation to get at my music etc but no luck. Anyone with any help?

hope so. removed display drivers in control panel but left ethernet etc as the mobo is nviia. after work will try removing it all again or just formatting. ta
 
yes I would format or remove drivers and manualy remove the nvlddmkm.sys they soemtimes cause some issues if there has been multiple nvidia driver installs as the oldd nvlddmkm.sys files don't get removed and more keep gettign added.

definatley sounds gfx driver related to me.
